On Monday, Nov. 20, PetConnect participated in the NYC, NY Metro, and Northeast Online Thanksgiving Trade Show, which ran from 7:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.

PetConnect employees have been working tirelessly for the past two weeks in preparation for the event — and their hard work paid off.

PetConnect sold over 1000 products, ranging from heated pet beds to motion-activated pet food dispensers. “We had an amazing turnout, and all the credit goes to our amazing staff. It really was a collective effort, and I’m so pleased with everyone’s commitment,” said Akshay Dhawan, CEO of PetConnect.

Akshay also gave a special thanks to the Marketing Department, overseen by Ishita Banerjee, for its consistent effort and time spent on the Trade Show. He appreciated the hours the department spent finalizing product descriptions and designs, along with writing the sales pitch.

Following the Trade Show, PetConnect’s staff reflected on the Trade Show and their goals for next time.

“We were able to hold our ground, and I’m really proud of us, especially for this being our first Trade Show,” Ishita said. “Next time, I think we’ll be a lot less nervous and a lot more prepared, which I hope will help us surpass our numbers.”

Akshay said that he aims to connect with more companies, stay more organized in sales, and gain more revenue.
