Listen Later

Is your marketing working hard enough both on and offline?

Are you tired of pumping out pointless Facebook and Instagram posts that feel like you are shouting into the social media void?

Do you wish there was a way to attract more great clients who never complain about price and invest in all your enrichment extras? 

What if there IS a better way…

Could a paper and ink newsletter be the secret weapon your pet business is missing?

In this episode, Dom brings you a marketing mini-masterclass about the power of owned print media – specifically, how old-school newsletters can drive new-school results.

He shares why you can’t rely solely on social media to grow your business and explains how a printed newsletter builds authority, deepens relationships, and keeps clients thinking about you even when they don’t need you. 

You’ll also hear exactly what to include in a newsletter, how to structure it, and why storytelling beats “business-as-usual”-style marketing every time.

Later in the episode, special guest Eve Molzhon shares her best advice for getting the most from your time at the pet boarding and daycare expo.

In this episode, you’ll discover:

  • Print Isn’t Dead – Why a monthly physical newsletter still gets more attention than a Facebook post.
  • Top-of-Mind Marketing – How consistent newsletters keep your business in clients’ thoughts (even when they don’t need you right now).
  • Easy Content Wins – What to include each month so writing your newsletter doesn’t feel like a chore.
  • From Inbox to Mailbox – Why sending a printed letter gives you a unique edge over your competitors.
  • One Page, Big Impact – How a simple newsletter can boost referrals, trust, and client loyalty.
  • If you’ve tried paper and ink before but not got the results you were looking for, then this episode will explain exactly what to say, send, and share to stay top of mind
