Silverado clients who elect to share their purchase data with GfK will receive detailed reports showing sales trends for specific categories, regional variations, and top performing brands.

"We are anxious to share this opportunity with our retail partners, who stand to benefit immensely through GfK's thorough and insightful reports on the industry. By bringing together rich data on the pet retail, veterinary and farm feed channels, GfK is empowering a holistic approach to product planning and marketing."

"Silverado's strong relationships with retail partners, and focus on enabling a savvier approach to retail performance, make them an ideal addition to our family of panel contributors."
