DEMATTING:

COULD YOU BE OFFERING A SUPER CONDITIONING SERVICE?

Here's a profitable idea - you could be charging more for specialist salon treatments with coat treatment shampoos...

Step 1

Which services will appeal to your customers?

Think through the types of customer you see most often. If you see alot of white breeds then a white coat treatment’s obviously a good idea. How about a specialist dematting service with a super conditioner?
Make up a list of the key services you want to focus on. If you want some independent advice then please get in touch – we’re happy to talk you through the options.

Bringing dull white coats back to life is always a popular option in a busy salon – Showpride’s White Coat is an excellent choice as it’s kind to the dog but produces outstanding results.

Step 2

Do a price list made and create an advertising poster

Work out how you want to describe your new services. Are you going to call them “upgrades”, perhaps “boutique treatments” or “special treats”.
You need to show customers this is something special and a special extra they can choose on top of a normal groom. Now you can create a simple price list – make sure it’s easy for customers to find the treatment that’s ideal for their dog.

Step 3

Practise what you are going to say to your customers

You need to be confident when you’re encouraging customers to pay for a specialist coat treatment – so what you say and how you say it are very important.
Take the time to practise. Make sure you talk about the dog. “I think Barney would really benefit from . . .” is much better than “Would you like Barney to have . . .”. Practise recommending, say “I would . . .” your opinion matters!
