Many Malaysians already enjoy the convenience of purchasing
products from the comfort of their homes. Buying computers, books and even
groceries online is now commonplace. Buddy Pet Wagon is the first online pet
store in Malaysia
offering free delivery throughout Peninsular Malaysia. Pet lovers can now have
the option of having their heavy bags of pet food dropped right at their
doorstep with just a click of a mouse. No traffic jams. No crowded car parks.
No fighting with the crowds during weekend shopping.
Buddy Pet Wagon was conceived and is run by Julienne Seet, 27,
a young entrepreneur who always dreamed of starting her own pet store. “There
are so many pet stores mushrooming throughout the country, so I realised I
needed to have something different to offer. Why not offer a delivery service
for busy people?” she says.
First launched eight months ago, Buddy Pet Wagon, which
started out with only three brands of pet foods now carries nine different
brands and a total of more than 200 products ranging from supplements to
magazines to pet clothes. “New products and features are added regularly. For
example, we now have a point system where Buddy points are collected with every
purchase. These Buddy points never expire and can be redeemed for cash
discounts for future purchases,” adds Seet.
Buddy Pet Wagon now has a loyal following of over 100
members from all over the country. It maintains the warm friendly atmosphere of
a family business. “Shopping for my dog food has never been more convenient,”
says customer Adam Lee of Penang. “The parcel
arrives at my doorstep in just a few days!”
