“I know it’s not much but I have about $10k to start a business (North NJ). Is the pet market over saturated? Organic pet treats is really my passion but like everyone, the million dollar question is how do I get my brand noticed? If you had to start a business in today’s economy what would you choose?

“Ok, so I own a pet company, we provide grooming, training, walking and daycare and have a little boutique. As part of our membership in a downtown business association we get a free spot at the weekly farmers market. The one catch is we can't sell anything. So our entire goal is to get people's info, get them in our system and hopefully on our schedule. I have a spinny wheel where we give away dog toys, treats, and discounts on services. I have set up a few other things to increase engag”
“So a little about my company: I've been building this small pet company for 13 years now. We started as a dog-walking company. In the last few years we added a brick and mortar with a small pet boutique, dog grooming, dog training, and a very small indoor dog daycare. Also mobile grooming. I just two weeks ago had a client reach out and tell me she had commercial property she was wondering if I'd be interested in. It just so happens to be across the street from my current location, which”
“Moms! I am seeking feedback on an idea that I want to turn into reality. Would you purchase a lovie for your baby where a portion of sale profits gets donated to animal welfare organizations that the lovie represents? submitted by /u/Status-Clothes1261 [link] [comments]”
“I’m wondering if there are many Australian pet sitters in here? And if it’s worth creating a subreddit for Aussie sitters. I know there are facebook groups for it but I’m yet to find a community on Reddit that is for Australian sitters to discuss all things pet sitting that relates more to their location. This community is great but I do often find it’s mostly for sitters that work in other countries and so it’s often hard when giving advice etc as different rules and laws and customs etc are no”
“For those of you who also pet sit independently, do you have a website, social media accounts, Google Business Profile, business cards, or something else? I’m curious about what you’ve found worthwhile for building your presence outside the platform. Have you found a website to be worth the effort, or have business cards been enough? submitted by /u/bearpuddles [link] [comments]”
“I'm in tons of dog groups for my own pup and see so many pain points that would make great products. separation anxiety gear, breed-specific stuff, rescue dog challenges. but I dont want to be that person pushing products in support spaces. how do you balance genuine community participation with business research? submitted by /u/Particular_Set_5967 [link] [comments]”
“You're lucky to have a self-selecting population of caring dedicated keepers of exotics! You must have an excellent reputation to attract the clients who want the best for their pets. Unfortunately, I do feel others' experience probably better reflect the majority of exotic pet owners. Most exotics never see a vet in their lives.”
“Very much this. Just having policies and rules in your salon alone creates the grooming environment you want.”
“Just promote and learn to upsell! Tick removal, sell products, brush outs, anything. People are weirdly lazy about doing stuff for their dogs.”
“One way to think about marketing messages for selling services like dog walking is to use the P.I.P.R. framework. P.I.P.R. stands for: People, Inspiration, Process, Results: People (and dogs): Tell readers who you are, your experience and qualifications and say something about the people and dogs who know and trust you (personal endorsements) Inspiration(the big idea): I offer the most reliable, dog loving, friendly, professional, responsiv”
