« on: October 25, 2007, 06:06:42 AM »
i thought i would give eveyone an update on the business  :) well we are four days into our first week and enjoying it! (me, kk xing and foxy) we have our first customer who we have been walking once in the morning and once in the evening and thats all week. they are a hv and a gsp, lovely boys! and there owner is a lovely women, and is already booking them in in november ;D we got our uniforms back yesterday, i love them!!!!!  ;D the only thing we are waiting for is our leaflets, but we will have them soon then we can get out and spread the word! we may only have one customer (we do have another couple lined up) so far but it is a start and we havnt really advertised yet so i hope it will only get better  :)

Don't forget to put details up on lots of websites like gumtree  ;D

The more links and mentions you have on websites - the better... because people googling will find you easier  ;D ;D

also put notices up in the local vets - i went to ours for a list of dog walkers when we first got Loki... not that they had any  ::)

Sounds good though  :)

Hi,

re: your website - i wouldnt advertise it anywhere until you have finished it, many people dont bother checking back again if they hit a holding page.

are you insured and animal 1st aid trained ?  (just nosy)

good luck !!

Claire.

ETA: who did that holding page !!!!!  lol - padding.gif indeed !!!!!!!!!   dear dear me !!!  i hope u didnt pay...

I am so jealous - I would love to do something like that - just need some back up money first.  How did you start, what made you do it?  Tell me all the gossip - you can email me if you like.

Just had a look at your website,looking very good girl's,I didn't realise you were doing small animals as well as dog's,I hope the ones you look after are a lot quieter than mine or you had better get some protective clothing ;D
