Starting Up Strategies For Your Pet Grooming Franchise

 

  • Build A Business Plan

Before you put your pet grooming business plans into action, sketch them out. When you work with Splash and Dash, we’ll even help you with the organization it. Prepare a binder or small book for your business ideas and plans and research the cost of operation, the potential market, and the impediments that you may face. You’ll need to evaluate your competition, explore the regulations and laws regarding the pet industry and grooming business, especially tax-wise, and look into all equipment that you will need and their costs.

 

  • Make a Marketing Plan

This will be another part of the business plan for your pet grooming franchise. Write a budget stating how much you have to spend as well as how much you’d be willing to spend. Be solid in your budget decisions and how much wiggle room you’re going to give on either side of your budget. After you’ve decided on a budget, think of ideas that will fit inside of your budget and finally get a general idea of time and location for your marketing. This should be intertwined with the research you did to on market availability. funny_drinking_dog

 

  • Build the Workspace

This is where things become physical as you purchase or build your location, equipment, and start building a filing system. A lot of money is being exchanged at this point and you need to keep your eye on every bit of it as the business owner.

 

  • Build the Customer Base

With the help of a public relations team, social media and a personal website, your financer like Splash and Dash, and old-fashioned networking, start building customer hype far before the store opens. While the preparation and building period may take some time, that doesn’t mean there isn’t work to do. While your location is being prepared, build your relationships with your community and have customers waiting by the time you open.
