During the slower months we try to get more involved in the community like local shelters and dog parks to promote our business and help local organizations. We also try to attend local pet expos and conventions to get new ideas and to promote more new business. If all else fails, then we contact customers that we haven’t groomed in a while to try to keep an open means of communication. And advertising KLEIN C U T L E R Y STOP at our booth #1904 at the helps a lot. David and Laurie Seda My business has definitely taken a turn for the worse in the past few weeks. I was considering calling groomers in my area to see where we all place orders from to see if we could get something going to save on shipping costs. I am also considering running discounts in the newspaper because I figure that some money is better than no money. Otherwise I will just take some time to spend with my daughter while I have the opportunity. We usually send, email or hand out Christmas Cards right after Thanksgiving to all customers who have come in during the entire year.

Brenda I have a small but very regular client’s base, and their dogs are their family. They would give up something else for their dog. I believe in quality not quantity so I really think this is my key to combating its effects. In Australia it is summer and school holidays so I take a holiday in January and a lot of my clients take a holiday after Christmas so it fits in well.

Deborah Ryan LCGI, Dog Grooming Australia, NSW, Australia The recession has a big impact on my business.
