Motivational Speaker/CEO, Dave's Soda & Pet City

Dave Ratner has represented the voice of small business owners before both houses of Congress and continues to work to elevate the retail industry. Despite a myriad of top competitors, Mr. Ratner built a business with fanatical customer loyalty and employees who have been with him forever. He is known for creative and cost-effective marketing strategies that have allowed him to compete with large national chain stores and win. Mr. Ratner is also the author of Creating Customer Love: Make Your Customers Love You So Much They'll Never Go Anyplace Else! The book is a primer for entrepreneurs and executives, as well as hoteliers and other business leaders, with an interest in the positive emotional connection people have with certain brands. That relationship is at the center of the loyalty consumers have for select companies, and the gratitude those businesses have for these men and women. A frequent speaker before a variety of groups, and an active business traveler throughout the United States, Mr. Ratner addresses issues involving leadership, marketing and branding, innovation, as well as exceptional service and respect for consumers of diverse interests and backgrounds. For more than four decades, Mr. Ratner has been building an independent, critically and commercially acclaimed pet supply business. With seven Dave's Soda and Pet City stores, and a nationally marketed line of high-quality pet food for dogs and cats, Dave has earned a seat at the table on the National Retail Federation Board of Directors. A writer, speaker, entrepreneur and storyteller, Mr. Ratner resides with his family in Western Massachusetts.
