Managing Tardy Clients
and Extra Service Charges

with Judy Hudson and Melissa Verplank

    

Has a pet owner ever dropped off her dog and expected you to keep it all day - at no additional charge?  Is this one of your pet peeves?  For many salon owners - maybe even you - this is a huge issue.  How do you fix that problem?  Are you toying with the idea of adding extra services to your business?  Which ones should you add?  And how to you go about charging for extra services?

 

Join Melissa and Judy to discover how they have dealt with these issues.  They have over 50 years' combined experience with pets and their owners.  In this casual conversation, they discuss ways to curtail tardy pickups while turning it into a positive for the salon.  When it comes to extra services, they have loads of ideas for you - and how to generate additional revenue by offering extra services.

 

When it comes to running a pet grooming business, we are problem solvers.  Sure, grooming the pet is the foundation of what we do, but there's a lot more that goes into a successful service business like ours.  Bottom line, time is money.  If you are taking more time on a pet to do an exceptional job, you can charge extra for those services. 

   

Approximate total running time:  28 minutes

  • how to turn a problem into a positive.
  • 3 key points that make a client feel great.
  • options for up-sell items.
  • why it's important to have an educated front-line person.
  • what you're really charging for.

Fabulous Finishing Touches for
Your Everyday Pet Clients
   

This is a great video for anyone looking to add temporary creative pizazz to a pet. Angela shows you two ways to instantly dress up any dog. These easy to apply neck decorations are super for any dog, but especially short coated ones! The best part - they only cost a few pennies, but deliver a huge WOW factor. The third demonstration is a bit more time consuming, but is really fun. You DON'T need to be an artist to do this. She shows you step-by-step how to apply glitter designs on short coated pets. The bonus - they wash off with a bit of warm water!
