Splash and Dash Groomerie & Boutique Set to Begin Splash and Dash University Sept. 18-25

We live in a  shifting world both in lifestyle and business. The way the American business world used to work, was a person chose a career pathway, and usually worked in this field until retirement. Since the advent of the “baby boomers,” individuals  no longer follow this model. Boomers tend to have multiple career changes by the time they reach middle age. Studies suggest that “millennials” have between six and twelve career changes within a lifetime. The nature of the American economy follows a pattern.

 

So what does this mean for the pet franchise industry?

 

From both the perspective of franchisor, and prospect investors, this is an helpful development. It creates a dynamic that invites neophyte investors and opens new challenging career fields that are both fiscally and spiritually rewarding. This is especially true within the pet franchise for two reasons.

 

The first is that if you’re thinking about a career change, or are seeking out a challenge, the odds are in your favor to begin investing. The pet franchise is one of the only franchises that not only remain unscathed by the recession in the 2008, but was able to thrive and grow. This economical growth is showing no signs of stopping and projections of revenue generated in the year 2019 are $91.72 billion. The second reason is passion. The pet franchise allows investors to establish a business in a field where they can love going to work. Animal lovers and pet owners establish a workplace with a full sense of joy and gratification.

 

If you decide to invest in a pet franchise, you can rest assured that novices are welcome. Neophytes can enter this pathway without experience because good franchises have high quality training. This training should be continuous and inveterate. Newcomers to the Splash and Dash Groomerie & Boutique franchise are invited to attend Splash and Dash University (SDU). SDU is a seven day workshop that shows owners how to establish and maintain their franchise.

Without a system of ethics (especially in the pet franchise where dog service is priority) the franchise will be more apt to make mistakes. Ethics and values ensure no deceptive business practices.
