Printed Business Cards

For some it’s a luxury for others, a necessity. Whichever way you look at it, dog grooming is a consumer service that needs business cards. Advertising is an important part of the dog grooming business. The combination of word of mouth reputation as well as quirky interesting business cards will help keep your doggie care business rolling over.

Background design on a dog grooming card can be plain and simple or fun and quirky. Dalmatian spots or paw prints make for an interesting backdrop or a nice clean pale blue or cream keeps things simple. Consider using the same colors from inside and outside the business décor and incorporating them into your card.

When it comes to images and clip art, focus on the dogs and not the business owner.  Whether you choose to use a cartoon image or actual photograph of a dog, try to focus the images on the type of dog that comes into your business. If the bulk of your work is miniature dogs, put a miniature dog on the card.

Utilize the tag line concept on your dog grooming business card. Dog owners that take the time and expense to send their companions out for grooming want to feel safe and secure with your expertise and services. Let clients know in the tag line that you offer professional grooming services in a fun friendly atmosphere. If there is room to add any qualifications or years of experience to the card without over crowding, go for it.

Add a little glitz to your dog grooming business cards with a little metallic foiling, gloss finish cards and embossed text or engraved fonts. Take the time to ensure the small details are exactly as you want them. Your attention to detail reminds clients about your attention to their animals.

Dog groomers should rely on their customers to distribute their business cards. Always hand out a few cards when you return a favorite pooch to his owner. Be sure every dog walker in the neighborhood knows your name and leave a few cards at the local pet stores to ensure market saturation. Most of all, be fun, interesting and professional.
