Dog grooming shop with free drop off or pick up service?
What do you think of a dog grooming shop offering drop off services to your home after your pet is finished with grooming? Would you like the service and use it ? This way we could set up with the owner when they drop off and ask if they would like us to take them home when finished.
We would start sending groups home at 10:30 , 2:30 and 5 pm.
Or what about a free pickup service in the morning? So that you wouldn't have to drop the dog off, then the kids and then so forth. We would do pick ups at 7am , 9 am and 11am or something similar.
Just an idea not something we are doing now. We are considering this so people don't cancel appointments for cars breaking down or something else coming up like driving in bad weather.(Lots of elderly people) We service a small area in a community so its not a far drive.
It doesn't do well here since if they want that kind of service, they use mobile groomers instead. Pet is done in van outside home & given right back so pet doesn't have to be shuttle around or stay in a crate at all. Given gas costs & time spent & insurance increases, you would end up losing money than getting more business.
