Bounty Paper Towels Encourages Americans Everywhere To Celebrate Life’s Big and Small “Firsts” Without Worrying About the Mess
CINCINNATI–(BUSINESS WIRE)–There are two truths to doing something for the first time – it will
always take longer and be messier than you expect. That’s why Bounty
wants to join people in celebrating the big and small “firsts” in their
lives. Whether it’s a first birthday, first home, or first pet, Bounty
is there so people can enjoy these memorable moments, rather than the
mess that comes with them.
One of the messier firsts in life is welcoming a new pet to the family.
According to a new survey conducted by Bounty and Wakefield Research, 1
in 4 Americans say it would take them 6 minutes or more to forgive a new
pet after making their first mess in the home. With 2 times more
absorbent* Bounty, people can quickly tackle more inevitable pet messes
per roll, from water bowl spills to the muddy paw prints.
To help pet owners navigate the important first moments with their
favorite furry friends, Bounty will be teaming up with PetSmart for the
Manhattan store’s Puppy Parent 101 event on Saturday, February 20,
National Love Your Pet Day. The event will feature Bounty’s “Messy But
Memorable” station and international lifestyle pet expert Charlotte
Reed, who will be conducting educational and interactive sessions on
quick clean up tricks for feeding, potty-training, bathing and grooming
pets for the first time.
“At Bounty, we know a ‘first’ is just the beginning of a lasting memory
or experience, and that’s why we want to help people spend less time
worrying about messes and more time enjoying the messy moment,” said
Matt Barresi, Bounty Brand Director. “Bounty is a more absorbent paper
towel which means the roll lasts longer and you don’t need to use as
much to tackle the messes – especially those that come with bringing
home a new pet.”
In addition to the “Messy But Memorable” station, the Bounty Clean Crew
will be showcasing Bounty’s superior absorbency with the messy pet
challenge–using only three rolls to address all of the day’s messes.
They will also be on hand to distribute coupons and product samples so
new pet owners are armed with one of the essentials to deal with their
first pet messes at home.
