Why buy from a small online company?

September 26, 2022|Dog coats

There are lots of dog coats available. But finding one that fits your dog is a bit harder. A small company like Made by De that makes them just for your dog can help.

Why buy from a small company? There are many reasons.  Although they might not be able to sell products at big box store prices, they are actually less expensive in the long run. Here are a few reasons why.

A small dog clothing company can help you find just the coat to suit your dog's needs. Whether it's waterproof, cozy fleece, or cooling, Made by De can help.

One-on-one attention

When you contact a small company, one person usually works with you.  That means they can remember your information, requests, etc. With a big box store, you get a different person each time, so things fall through the cracks. A small company is more likely to get your order right the first time, saving you time and money.

Dog pajamas can be difficult to fit. However, Made by De makes each set when it's ordered just for the dog it's intended for. And if adjustments are needed, I do that too.

Don't get lost in the shuffle

The number of buyers is much smaller, with fewer people handling your account.  That means fewer opportunities for missing something important. When you make a request, it's more likely to get the consideration you desire and reach you in a timely manner.

Active dogs can get cold and not even notice it for a while. Having a coat that they can play in prevents that. And if it's made just for them, it will fit.

Personal responsibility

There is an actual person that packages your order. They can pay attention to the details and take responsibility for making right on any mistakes. Fewer mistakes mean less headache on your end.

When you order from a small company like Made by De, you get the personal attention to detail that leads to a great coat for your dog.

Supporting your community

When you buy from a small company, whether online or in person, your money goes to keeping an individual working, supporting their kids, providing dance lessons or soccer teams, etc. Your money doesn't go through the corporation only to provide a small percentage that actually goes to employees.

While the price tag at a big store looks like it's lower than a small company, it doesn't figure in all the extra costs of working with a big, cumbersome company.  Made by De is a small company, run by me.  My custom dog clothing is designed for the comfort of your dog with the durability to last for years.  Next time you're in the market for dog clothing, take a look at Made by De.
