Project Overview
Specialty pet brand needed Tractor Supply placement that reflected the actual rural pet cohort rather than adapting an urban specialty pet SKU into the format. The Tractor Supply pet shopper buys larger bag sizes at lower frequency, sources food and treats in the same basket as livestock feed and farm supply, and responds to Neighbor's Club loyalty mechanics that recognize the rural and small-town homestead context. The launch had to engineer authentic rural lifestyle positioning rather than borrowing the urban premium pet brand voice that fails in this channel.
Execution
MOART engineered a large-bag pack architecture sized for the rural pet cohort with the brand's manufacturing team, negotiated 6-SKU placement across the pet and farm-pet adjacency aisles with Tractor Supply merchandising in Brentwood, designed Neighbor's Club loyalty trial offer mechanics for the homestead-oriented member cohort, and coordinated a 12-weekend ride-along event program at 180 Tractor Supply stores aligned to the spring planting and fall homestead-preparation peaks. The team built rural-authentic in-store signage rather than translating urban premium pet creative.
Project Results
6 SKUs live across 2,279 Tractor Supply stores within 11 months, with 12 ride-along event weekends executed at 180 stores and Neighbor's Club member trial-to-repeat conversion delivering 33% on the large-bag homestead pack.
