Is my Chihuahua allowed? Avvinue - the First Pet Travel Booking Engine Innovators Can Laugh

    • Marketing

I chatted with Nicole Caba, the founder of Avvinue – the first pet travel booking engine. That’s right, a booking website for pet travel. With so many pet owners worldwide and each airline having its own set of restrictions when it comes to traveling with pets, Avvinue is bound for takeoff!
If you’re a pet owner or just want to hear an interesting story about a wonderful idea that was hidden in plain sight, this is the episode for you! 
Show highlights:
-   0:45 – Nicole’s favorite childhood toy
-   1:50 – the celebrity Nicole had a crush on as a teenager
-   3:25 – what Nicole would like to receive on Valentines day
-   4:10 – what’s changing in the travel industry in regards to pets
-   7:00 – Nicole realized first hand how hard it is to travel with your pet
-   9:00 – what customers enjoy about Avvinue
-   11:00 - Chihuahuas are not allowed on our flights
-   12:10 – some features of the platform (photos, vaccinations, documents)
-   13:20 – the team
-   14:40 – biggest obstacles so far
-   15:35 – KPI and projected revenue
-   16:40 – how Nicole is marketing Avvinue
-   18:35 – how Avvinue got off the ground
-   20:30 – finding love at the airport
