My husband and I own our own dog boarding and grooming business and also raise pedigree Miniature Shnauzers. Recently, we have noticed a slight drop in business because a new grooming and boarding kennel opened up across town. To get some business back, I had a great idea the other day to give out gifts or tokens of appreciation to our most valued customers. At first, I toyed with coffee mugs, but then I decided to make photo calendars using the customer’s own dogs! It’s brilliant, and is bound to draw them back to us. Seeing your dog featured as February’s model is a loyalty booster.
