Purpose
To create a community of breeders that not only is a marketplace of one unified standard, it is also a place of growth in this industry in all aspects including marketing, purchasing power, standards, and a larger outreach through a collective platform. The Apollo co-op will allow members to make larger purchases as a collective and therefore receive substantial discounts to each individual. This allows us to tap into markets that and pricing that would be normally reserved for larger companies/breeders. Through this, even the smallest breeders won't be alone in this large industry.

Benefits of the Apollo CO-OP
-
Through purchasing power, this will allow breeders to optimize finances.
Example: At wholesale price a sphagnum moss bag (3kg) will cost $270 while the average pet store bag is $24.99 (150 Grams) = $499.80 (3kg) meaning in weight equivalence you would be saving $229.80 for equal amounts. In the co-op these bags will be purchased and divided between members thus providing savings for all members.
-
Working together creates less competition and allows more prosperity
-
The coalition allows small breeders to reach goals faster, more effectively and more support than a sole proprietor.
-
Apollo CO-OP will be vending expos, and has made a large investment in promotion and media materials. It has partnered with a production company thus providing promotion and media creation at a minimum.
-
Per individual the CO-OP allows breeders to focus on what they do best; Apollo provides all company building requirements.
-
Lower cost of veterinarian services, food, bedding, enclosures and future additional wholesale items
-
As the CO-OP grows, more avenues of savings be created
