Letter to the Association's Membership
A great name is the foundation of a professional association’s brand identity and one of an organization’s most valuable assets. A properly developed name can create competitive advantages and maximize earnings. The future success of the Association depends in part upon how you, our current members identify with the Association.

Is Your Great Idea A Real Business?
No matter how often you scrub him, Sam, your 90-pound Golden Retriever, still stinks.Then it hits you: dog cologne! You fire up a Web search and learn that, every year, 50 million U.S. dog owners collectively spend $43 billion on their pooches. Sam can't be the only smelly one of the bunch; your idea can't miss. You even have a name for it: Furry Fragrances. Or maybe Eau de Puppe.

Before Entering the Pet Products Industry
APPMA frequently gets questions from people that have a great product idea and want to start manufacturing. Unfortunately we can not help you decide whether your product is going to be the “next big thing”, and APPMA membership is not available until you have begun to sell your product, but we can give you some help in determining whether your product will be subject to regulatory requirements.
