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?

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!
