👻 It’s that time again 🎃

Happy Spooky Season!

Now that Brambe and I have your attention… please read 👇 👀

In the last fortnight alone :

£225 is the total cost of earnings I’ve lost through no-shows 😔

£105 is the amount in outstanding payments I am yet to receive through bank transfers from trusted customers 😔

13 is the number of clients that have turned up to their appointments late and made me run over times for the remainder of that day if I’ve been able to fulfill the groom at all 😔

Please know that I understand life happens and you may need to cancel or reschedule, but I can’t carry on allowing this when it has such a huge knock on effect to my business.
I work alone and my business is my only source of income - I’d appreciate if you would be mindful of this. 🙏

Moving forward I am considering not allowing no-shows to rebook without 100% of payment ahead of the appointment, and I can no longer allow late payments.
Please either transfer ahead of collection or bring cash.

I hate to write posts like this, but I don’t think anyone really understands the effect this has on small business owners like myself.

Please do better 😔

❕ - Important info for new and existing customers, please read -❕

I have avoided this for as long as I can but as of 1st July I will have no choice but to increase my prices slightly. With the cost of everything from shampoo to blade sharpening having risen over the last few months I can no longer afford to keep my prices as they are. When collecting your dog please be prepared for a £5 increase on your existing price, either in cash or via bank transfer as usual.

Additionally, as I have addressed in previous posts, I will now be charging a minimum of 50% fee for any missed or cancelled appointments without a minimum of 48hrs notice. I understand life throws things at us at the most inconvenient of times, but one cancellation or no show has the potential to mess up my entire day, not to mention my weekly income.

I hope everyone can understand my current position and reasons why this is necessary.
And it goes without saying I’m always grateful for everybody’s continued support and custom.

Thank you
Courtney 💞 🐾
