The term blogging is so common today—it’s hard to imagine that just a few years ago it was the realm of personal musings on everything from pet hamsters to the latest movies. Today, blogging has become a critical business marketing strategy. Businesses blog to market their products and services, to build a client following, and to keep their readers informed about the product, service, and industry news. For business owners who haven’t jumped into the blog phenomena, there’s bad news and good news. The bad news is that if you haven’t started blogging, you will have to play catch up. You may have lost online market share. It’s true that those who start first online are the first to establish their brand. Instead of spending a fortune on launching and revamping local advertising campaigns, your competition has already gained considerable online exposure. In fact, your competitions’ customers may not even know you’re a competitor. The good news is that blogs are simple and easy to create for even the most technology neophyte. You’ll be playing catch up but it won’t take you long to get in the game.

I had a professional groomer for my minature schnauzer for about 7 years. For the past couple of years I have groomed her myself. Mainly because of the expense of health cost I could not afford to pay for the services. I do almost as good as she did except the hair on my schnauzers legs is not as white as when the professional groomed her. What’s the secret?
go to sally’s beauty supply and buy the purple shampoo that they use on humans…..its the same stuff that they use on the dogs…..shampoo the dog with it and let it stand for several minutes….then rinse it out…..dont leave it on to long or you will have a baby blue dog…..use it once a week, twice if the dog is really stained bad…..and enjoy your white dog

I want to distribute coupons and promotional items for my pet care business to pet owners (especially dog owners) in my area. However, it would be a lot more efficient if I knew where to find them. I know there are people who could benefit from pet care who don’t necessarily look where I have previously advertised (online, fliers, business cards, etc.) Ideally I would like to get a list of individual’s who have registered their dogs with the town but I doubt that this is possible. Are there any other ways that I can reach pet owners who aren’t actively in the market for pet care? I’d like them to at least know that my business exists. I’ve been advertising on Craigslist for over a year, as well as local bulletin boards, pet stores, veterinary offices and grooming offices. I’m trying to find out if there’s any way I can target people who aren’t already looking- people who look at classified ads and bulletin boards are already looking.
Dog parks, pet stores, fliers, ads in the paper, etc.

New York City is the fashion mecca for designers, but not just for humans, now it’s gone to the dogs. It’s a catwalk of a different sort for these fashionista dogs. It’s a huge display of pet fashions and it’s one sure way to be the cat’s meow without being feline. The fashions are the ultimate in canine couture where they feature everything from the Park Avenue Pooch to the junkyard dog. And, bling they have. Many top designers are getting into the business. Why shouldn’t they as the dog business is barking up the right tree as a 36 billion dollar industry.. making it top dog over the toy and candy business. What’s in – “mommy and me” collections – where humans are dressing in matching attire with their dogs. Sheryl, the DogSexpert also talks with designers about how their fashions influence relationships between humans and pooch. See it on Leashes and Lovers TV. www.LeashesandLovers.com/TV
