Best In Show Loyalty Program

Ladies and gentlemen - the Best In Show Loyalty Program is finally here.  I haven't done any advertising for it yet...a window poster and other signage is coming soon.  However, it's set up and ready to track the grooms of any client who wants to participate in the program.
 
The program is very simple. Once you've signed up for the program, you have one year to bring your dog in to get groomed six times.  You must pay full price for five of those grooms, and the sixth groom is free.

Hey 9-to-5ers! Consider This New Service From Us.

So, your dog (or cat) needs to be groomed. You work a typical Monday to Friday schedule, and your weekend is already packed solid with chores and activities.
 
What do most people in this predicament do? 
 
They get their dog groomed after work at a shop that offers evening hours. This CAN be a convenience, if you don't mind going home to pick up your dog, driving to the groomer, then trying to kill 2 or 3 hours until they call you to pick him up.  Now's it's 8:00pm, you're tired, hungry, aggravated, still need to walk the just-groomed dog, and won't get home until 8:30pm or 9:00pm.

Occasionally a customer will call the store and lambast me for having a dog-centric website and marketing material.
 
I think it's pretty clear that we provide grooming services for cats, but obviously some cat owners don't agree.

Spring 2012 Dental Clinic. Are you in?

A few weeks ago, I wrote about the importance of good dental hygiene for our dogs and cats.  As the owner of a grooming shop, I see the neglected teeth of many pets, but don't believe I have any truly effective solutions I can offer to my clients (other than to recommend them to a vet for an expensive dental cleaning that probably involves anesthesia).
 
After googling forums, articles, companies, products, etc., I came across this company:
 
I found them through an online article I read about a former Wall Street guy who was bringing them in to service his clients at his high end doggy daycare centers in Manhattan.

If At First You Don't Succeed, Try And Try Again.

At Best In Show Grooming Salon, our goal is to have every client leave our store happy and completely satisfied with the groom their dog or cat received.  In fact, we want them to be more than satisfied, we want them to be so blown away, they become lifelong customers...coming back on a regular basis, and recommending Best In Show to others.
 
However, we know that doesn't always happen.  Being in the service industry, we''ve quickly learned that while we strive to please everyone, it is virtually impossible to make everyone happy every time.

Good Dental Care Is Critical To The Health Of Your Pet

One of the benefits of getting your pet groomed on a regular basis, is the necessity for us to get into all the nooks and crannies of your pet.  This allows us to find potential health issues that you may have missed or ignored...odd growths, lumps, overweight/underweight issues, scabs, fleas, irritated skin, etc.
 
One of the most overlooked health issues for dogs and cats is dental care. For some reason, most pet owners do not consider the health of their pet's teeth as something that needs to be thought about and maintained on a very regular basis.
