Know-How Exchange : Advertising/PR

I would try to partner with vets, groomers, etc. Let them know about your services as they can share this with their clients.

You can also try to go by some dog parks and hand out information.

Be sure you create a nice brochure you can leave with all of these people.

Hope this helps,
Mike

Before you spend $ on ads, spend some time on your marketing strategy:
* Who are your clients?
* Where are they located?
* What types of pets?
* Why would they need your type of services?
* Why would your services be better than your competitions'?
* What magazines/newspapers/bulletin boards are your clients likely to read?
* What's your budget?
* What's your short-term and long-term business goals?

Without a strategy, you're likely to waste your time and money trying to attract clients to your new business.

If I were your situation, I would make a trip to the local library and check out books on guerrilla marketing and similar topics.

There is an incredible amount of information available to you at no charge through your local business Library, and each of the books contains much more information than we can provide over this forum.

In addition, I would research by competitors on the Internet using tools such as Google.

Good luck.
