/in /by

You may have recently come to the conclusion that with the recession-proof cover that the pet industry offers, you want to become a part of the tail-wagging, drooling, smiling doggy-faced business. Now you just have to figure out what type of pet service business you’d like, whether it’s a pet grooming franchise, pet store, or something else entirely and once you pick that, which one of the many names is right for you.

Why a Pet Grooming Franchise?

A poor coat health can signal a number of health issues which means you’re a commercial form of health checking.

Owning a pet grooming franchise is helpful to business parents who don’t have the time or space to keep their dogs as clean as they should be, but want their dogs to live happier, fuller lives.

What About Other Pet Services?

A pet grooming franchise isn’t the only choice you have for business ownership in the pet industry. There are also things like dog training, pet sitting, dog walking, poop scooping, and pet food franchises out there and all of which are important. However, what they don’t assure you is the recurring revenue that a pet grooming franchise can promise you. With Splash and Dash for Dogs, franchise owners are able to predict their minimal monthly income through the memberships they have which are promised every month the individual is signed up to the program, much like a gym membership. pet grooming is also an ongoing need for all dogs, whereas dog training and pet sitting may stop at some point. With Splash and Dash for Dogs, you are also running a boutique with the best pet food in the industry, high quality dog toys, and other accessories. The best thing about owning a pet grooming franchise is seeing the transformation physically and in their personality all while interacting with dogs every day.

Why Not a Coffee Shop?

All of these options offer an incredible amount of competition as the popularity of sandwich and coffee shops and gyms soar. Not to mention: none of these industries are recession proof. Over the last few years it’s been proven that while other industries have suffered a decrease in yearly profits, the pet industry has met no such disaster, and has in fact continued to grow. When all the facts are taken into consideration, a pet grooming franchise seems like a clear choice.

Create Deeper Connections with Cohorts in the Pet Industry

To be successful in the pet industry or any other industry, business owners must not focus on running their business well, but making meaningful, personal connections with consumers and business partners. In times of difficulty, having strong bonds with other business owners can be the difference between handling things on your own and struggling your way to failure or having the support you need to succeed. If you become part of a pet franchise, you’re also going to want to know how to build better relationships with other franchisees and your franchisor. If you’re not sure how to do that, consider the following:

Honor Individuals for Who They Are

starting a pet franchiseThis is much easier said than done in almost every case, especially if the individual in question has different views than you on something you feel particularly passionate about. However, in order to build stronger bonds with others, you must not only see people for who they truly are, but honor and respect them for it both inside and outside of the pet industry. In order to do this, you must pay attention, listen, learn, look, ask questions, be curious, use your intuition, and acknowledge those you are speaking to.

Have Real Conversations

While it’s extremely easy to keep work associates in the pet industry at arm’s length with casual discussion, you can create stronger bonds by talking about real life matters. Engage people with meaningful conversation. Even a little at a time goes a long way in the mind of the other person. Keep personal and meaningful talk appropriate for the company and you will feel a stronger bond and care growing between you and the other parties in no time.

Believe in Them and be Vocal About It

If you believe in someone, support them verbally. Authentic belief is a powerful thing for someone to witness. The easiest way to do this is to tell someone you believe in them when they say they can or want to do something. Your words should be sincere because people can and do see through false belief and smoke blowing.

Help Them Grow

Whether someone is starting out or reaching out to you for help, if you give that individual help, you will build your connection with them. If your business is in the pet industry and theirs is somewhere else, you may not be able to offer too much personalized information in the business, but you can offer encouragement, partnership, and knowledge from the eye of a business owner, and so much more than you may think. What you may think is everyday knowledge may be someone else’s saving grace.  What you might think as just listening to someone’s problems may be what causes them to have the epiphany that saves their business. If nothing else, being available is one of the best ways you can help someone grow and is often what most business owners and entrepreneurs in the pet industry or other industries need.
