(Bonus tip at the end of this caption)
What’s the most helpful tip one I listed here you’ve never thought of? Fellow groomers: feel free to drop your marketing tips below as well! I invite this post to be a collaborative and helpful space for all my fellow groomers in the industry! Our workplane is better as a collaborative one than a demolitive one.
And for the bonus tip: I recommend against using generative AI in your posts, your advertising, or your business cards/logos. Generally speaking, you give up your brand marketing appeal, personability, and alienate a huge chunk of your potential clientele demographic. It may save you a small chunk of time, but the cost is much higher than the gain. I know that personally, I unfollow accounts pretty quickly when I see genAI use on a page or within a business. Or if I see a flyer that’s been made with genAI, my brain simply glosses right over it and none of the information sinks in and you don’t stand out as a business. There are lots of free applications where you can build you brand and your advertisements without the use of AI (I primarily use Canva and Procreate, personally when creating my own advertisements, posts, and art. This series of slides included). When you post a lot of heavy AI content, you forfeit your intentionality in your branding and your identity as a business owner, and potential clients will quickly notice that, even on a subconscious level. Don’t be afraid to experiment with branding and creating your own advertisements. Creativity cannot be won without the risk of inexperience (and you can quote me on that one!)
