The most common concern was that the venture was in its early stages and carried significant risks. Additionally, Dlamini’s lack of experience in operating a factory raised doubts.

According to Dlamini, the company’s unique proteins – like ostrich and venison – allow international brands to stand out from competitors. “It is ultimately a game of competing for consumer eyeballs and anywhere that you can stand out to be a little bit different to everyone else on the market, that gives you an edge.” The cost advantage of sourcing from South Africa was another benefit.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='mso-margin-top-alt:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:23.4pt;margin-left:0cm;background:white;box-sizing: border-box;font-size:0.975rem'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black'>Dlamini deliberately focused on pet treats rather than general pet food because customers tend to have less brand loyalty when it comes to treats. “It’s similar to a chocolate aisle … when you’re about to check out at a store. If you see a new chocolate there or a new brand of nuts, you’re likely to try it if the price is right and if it’s something that you like. But when it comes to food, you probably would buy the same type bread or the same type of meat for a very long time. And if you saw a wildly new entrant in that category, you’d more reluctant to experiment with something new. The same is true for treats. It’s an impulse purchase, it’s a reward for pets. And so a lot of pet owners are willing to experiment and try out new treats, which is important for us as a new entrant in a market that’s been around for over 50 years,” Dlamini explains.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='mso-margin-top-alt:0cm;margin-right:0cm;margin-bottom:23.4pt;margin-left:0cm;background:white;box-sizing: border-box;font-size:0.975rem'><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Verdana",sans-serif;color:black'>“And once you’ve established the customer base … using your treats, then after time you can then introduce pet food because they know your quality, they know your products … So that was definitely the two-step plan that we had: Start off with treats … and then we launched pet food in 2019 but then we had to pause on the pet food side because of load shedding (scheduled power cuts in South Africa) and we still haven’t reintroduced it just yet. But we will be introducing our pet food probably next year,” he says.<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D;mso-fareast-language:EN-ZW'><img border=0 width=800 height=534
