Dog Grooming Business Help & Support

Trademarks is a topic that comes up a lot in my  Facebook Group so I sought the help of a professional to talk to us.

I wanted to talk to Holly as I had seen her business on the internet. Holly started as a Pet groomer and then grew her business to what it is now. Woof & Ready now offers Grooming, Day care and Hydrotherapy.

Petra is a brand photographer that helps Pet Professionals with their branding. We discuss how branding can help to elevate your business and can help you charge more for your services.

Robin is a business coach, speaker and best selling author. In this episode we talk about pricing, products and mindset. After listening I recommend buying a copy of Take Your Shot.

From the age of 18, Robin spent four years as a systems analyst for a medical devices company, increasing their turnover by 50 per cent, from £1m to £1.5m.

From 2004 to 2016 Robin led a successful marketing agency serving over 250 clients. During this time delivering workshops and masterclasses that helped over 1,000 business owners improve their marketing, product architecture, pricing, websites and digital advertising.

Behind the scenes Robin is a husband and father to two young girls, a surfer and Sunday warrior (road cyclist). He hates going up the hills but is well known at his local cycling club for his descending at speeds more than 50mph down said hills.

Robin holds a Guinness World Record for participating in the largest ever speed networking event, has raised over £5k for a local Children’s charity in the last 4 years and has a goal to help remove 100kg of plastic from the World’s Oceans within the next 12 months via another charity he supports – 4Ocean.

Charlie, at the time of the recording, was working as a groomer and also in the process of setting up her own business Charlie & Cupid. I got talking to Charlie following a question she put into the my Facebook Group Dog Grooming Business Help & Support. 

Charlie shares her story of two Chow Chows that she took on to groom. We then chat about Pricing and talking to customers.  

Richard is the founder of Thrism Bookkeeping. Specialising in small businesses, providing hands on assistance when needed, training, set up and longer term relationships .   

We received a 1 star review the other day and this is my thoughts around it, how to respond to it and what to do about it. 

Emma and I have run a Pet Groomers for 16 years now and have always employed staff. We pulled contracts off the internet and struggled with holidays, policies and generally made it up as we went along. I even tried to write a handbook for our staff. I spent days and day and days writing this thing and never published it! I got so frustrated when ever we called the chamber of commerce HR support line with questions and problems they would ask what our "Handbook" said!!!!

You have a website and maybe you run adverts. But how do you write them so that it attracts your customers? Copy writers are here to solve that issue.

Kirsty tells us all about copywriting and what it can do for your business. You can find out more on her website https://www.thecuriouscopy.co or chat to her in the Dog Grooming Business Help & Support Facebook group.

This is a really valuable podcast. Accounts can be one of those topics where we bury our head in the sand and it costs us lots of money to get it sorted. 

Vicky isn't your run of the mill accountant. She will turn up on her motorbike and roll around with your pets before talking shop! A pet lover herself she has Frank the Dachshund and Herbie the cockatiel.
