close your eyes and you will get the idea.
Hi, the best methodolgy should be to collect databases of pets in your area of operations. Once, you have that database you should have a brochure of your work (hardcopy/digital) and then you can contact the owners through emails, mailer or phone. Just remember you do not poach any of your current establishments otherwise they might cut you off their work.
Just visit several upscale neighborhoods, look for dogs, drop off a flier. Go to dog shows, set up a booth to do photos while you wait. have you tried mobile grooming companies, maybe you can offer them a commission on any new jobs you get.
Good Luck !
If you are in the US or Canada, using pay-per-click advertisement on search engines like Yahoo (overture.com) and Google (adwords.google.com) is an inexpensive, yet extremely effective way of promoting your business.
But you will need a well-designed website that succeeds in communicating with potential customers that ‘find’ you through search engines.
Please note that PPC or Pay-Per-Click is NOT SEO or Search Engine Optimization. Feel free to contact me if you need further help on this issue.
