You work in a great industry where you get to combine your passion for animals with your career. This year, it\u2019s estimated that US pet parents will spend over $7 billion<\/a> on their pets, about $5 billion of which will be spent on grooming and boarding. The Department of Labor expects the industry to see a very healthy 11% growth <\/a> through 2023.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

But for pet grooming companies big and small not having the right systems in place can mean lost opportunities, lost revenues and lost clients. Pet grooming software can help a pet grooming business compete in a highly competitive <\/a> and increasingly complex industry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

As your grooming business expands, so do your management responsibilities. Let\u2019s look at the advantages of incorporating pet grooming software into your business structure.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

More Time Doing What You Love<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

No one goes into pet grooming thinking: I hope I spend all my time behind a desk doing \u201cpaperwork\u201d. You went into pet grooming because you love dogs \u2014 and maybe cats too. You enjoy making that connection with our 4-legged friends and seeing the pleased look on pet parent faces when you reveal your work. You love working with the others in the shop to deliver outstanding care.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A great pet business software<\/a> is designed specifically for the pet grooming industry. It\u2019s intuitive. It \u201cunderstands\u201d what you\u2019re trying to manage and what you need to get the most out of your day. With the right software, you can book and cancel multiple appointments at once. Automatically update your website regarding your availability. And have all of the information you need at your fingertips to provide exceptional service.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pet grooming software can cut your time spent managing administrative tasks in half. It\u2019s like having a personal assistant who\u2019s on top of the game and does everything before you even realize that it needs to be done.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fewer Missed Appointments<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You hate having to have a \u201cmissed appointment policy\u201d that costs your clients money. You know that things come up and sometimes people just forget. You want to do what\u2019s right for the client, but missed appointments cost you money. You try to set up a schedule for yourself to call and remind people. But the task can be time-consuming and often it doesn\u2019t work.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Fortunately, pet grooming software solves this problem by allowing you to customize and automate appointment reminders. Clients can choose text or email. They can be sent a friendly reminders several days before and the day before.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

They scheduled that appointment for a reason. They don\u2019t want the trouble of having to reschedule. A software that includes automated appointment reminders is a win-win for you and your clients.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Greater Mobility<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Being stuck behind a desk taking calls and booking appointments is a thing of the past. Pet grooming software offers you the flexibility to book, review and manage your appointments anywhere \u2014 on your phone or device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Need to stay on the grooming floor? Have to run out for coffee? No more trying to remember to change something because you\u2019re not at your desk. And stop writing reminders on your palm with a Sharpie. You\u2019re connected virtually anywhere. Spend more time moving around. It\u2019s better for your health <\/a> and your productivity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Organized Customer Data<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can keep customer data organized and at your fingertips. If you read through Yelp reviews of dog grooming services, you may notice that a very common complaint <\/a> is that the groomer lost a dog\u2019s file or doesn\u2019t remember services offered the last time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This just doesn\u2019t happen with pet grooming software. All of your customer information is in one place. You can see every appointment and what services and products were requested or offered. You can create professional, seamless, enjoyable experience every single time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Upselling & Cross-selling<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Every business owner knows that upselling is one of the keys to a successful service business. Randomly offering your client services and products doesn\u2019t work. Timing and personalization are critical. This is only possible when you track the right data<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
