In this episode, I’m talking to Tennille Teague who launched a cruelty free pet accessories brand called JUST FRED. With a background in advertising and film production, Tennille brings her visual communication style to the brand. She shares some great examples of how to write product descriptions in a visual way to elicit an emotional response from potential customers.
Tennille also shares how she’s simplified inventory management and fulfillment with strategic partners and reveals what has surprised her in growing this new brand.
Raising Awareness Around Senior Dog Adoption
Tennille Teague is a style-conscious advertising executive who was tired of the lack of options in products for her dogs. She wanted something that not only had elevated style but was also cruelty-free. Many of the high-end pet brands she found were using leather to create some of their products. But Tenille really wanted a cruelty-free and fashion-forward option.
Through this passion, she founded the new Brooklyn-based, pet accessories brand, JUST FRED. Now she creates cruelty-free accessories for the coolest canines around the globe. Her products are also providing direct support and love for senior dogs who just haven’t had a fair shake.
