[QUOTE="trinityroyal, post: 498298, member: 3907"] In addition to the grocery stores and laundromats that Lisa suggested, maybe you can display flyers at: - hair salons, maincure/pedicure places, etc. I imagine that people might want to pamper their pets the same way they pamper themselves. - coffee shops, especially if they have dog water bowls outside. If the coffee shop is pet-friendly, then pet-owning customers might be interested - if there's a dog park nearby that has a poster board, you might find out from the city whether you can display a flyer or poster. You might want something large and colourful for this purpose - can you do a mailbox drop? I'm not sure what the regulations are in your area, or how much it would cost to print that many flyers. Also, you might want to target higher-density neighbourhoods for this, so that there's less walking to do. Sometimes you can arrange for bulk-mail through the post office, to get your flyers into apartment buildings with those mailbox banks. That might be something for later on when you have a larger marketing budget. - word of mouth at the dog park. Mention to other dog owners that you're a groomer. When they see how well groomed your dogs are they'll be interested. - maybe leave flyers in smaller, independent pet stores if you have any in your areas. They're less likely than the big chains to offer in-house services. - Do the big chains offer pet grooming? If not, then you might be able to advertise with them? A long-shot, I know... This is all I can come up with off hand. I've never had a dog, so I'm not familiar with the market. Trinity [/QUOTE]
