5 Tips To Increase Revenue For The Pet Care IndustryAs the pet care industry continues to grow, it is essential to take steps to improve your business. When deciding on where to invest your resources, you will want to consider what will increase revenue, grow your brand and enhance the employee/customer experience. Here are five tips to help you grow your business and increase revenue.

Bath Specials

Pricing is almost always a sticking point for a good majority of your clients. Offering a bath special is a great way to see your clients more often. They can take advantage of your bath specials to quickly clean up between full grooms, so their furry friends always look good, even between grooms. Do some market research and make sure that your pricing, even on specials, is competitive.

Pawdicures

Spa experiences are no longer just for humans. Animals enjoy a little pampering that goes beyond just a bath and a nail trim. A pawdicure is a spa-like treatment for furry friends that helps dogs and cats relax while their paws get moisturized and massaged and their nails get trimmed. Offering this service at your grooming salon brings in an upper-class clientele that wants their animals pampered in the same way that they are.

Self Service Station

Adding a self-service station to your grooming salon will attract a new and unique client base. These clients may also fall into a category that doesn't feel their pet breed requires professional grooming but simply upkeep like baths and nail trims. Providing an area where they can perform simple grooming procedures on their own pets, like washing, drying, and brushing, will bring this hard-to-reach niche client into your salon. Provide soaps, towels, aprons, dryers, brushes, and a safe and easy-to-use bathing area to make it hassle and mess-free for your clients.

Mobile Grooming

There are a few reasons that a customer may not be able to bring their pet to you. They may have mobility issues, their pet may be too large or have medical problems making it difficult to travel, they may not have transportation, or simply may not have the time. Whatever the reason, you will reach more customers with this additional service.

Pet Daycare

Many pet owners don't like leaving their furry friends at home alone all day while they're working or on vacation. A pet daycare is a wonderful way to make some extra cash and can even attract customers with the proper setup. Pet daycare centers should be luxurious and fun for the animals. You'll need lots of comfortable bedding, toys, dishes, and cleaners just to get started. You may also need to hire additional staff to care for your daily visitors. Much like daycare for children, pet daycare can be a bit pricey for customers. The good news is, you only need a few regular customers to make this service profitable.
