advertise like crazy! Everywhere you go give out leaflets have a big open day! We have opened up a groomers/petshop recently and advertising is the best way to go leaflet drop anyone you see with animal fur on their coats or walking dogs at parks leave leaflets everywhere!

If you havent done so yet arrange a grand opening with sweets and balloons for kids and maybe make a dog cake for the dogs?

make people aware that the pet shop allows animals, People LOVE the chance to parade off their animals so you are will defiantly have a few people turn up!

Dont forget coupons too, they were a big winner for my shop, we dont a 10% discount for the first month and every dogs gets some free chews when they get groomed. Look out for joblots on Ebay too because some can be very good! Have a look for some cheap wholesalers too and stock plenty of natural treats and look online for reviews on everything, peoples opinions are everything! Companys will sell you products that are useless and unfortunatly people do buy stupid stuff so learn from other peoples mistakes!
