Groom & Grow: Flyers That Pamper Pet Grooming Businesses
Why Flyers Are a Pet Groomer’s Secret Weapon
Pet grooming is all about trust, convenience, and showcasing your care. When pet parents search for a groomer, they want someone who understands their pet’s needs, offers safe handling, and is local. While online directories help, a tactile flyer tacked to a community board or slipped under a front door provides a lasting visual cue—reminding owners of your premium services each time they see it.
Flyers establish your brand as the friendly neighborhood expert: they combine visual appeal (cute pets, clean styling), trust signals (certifications, testimonials), and a clear call to action—all in a piece of print that stays around long after a digital ad vanishes.

Summer (June–July): short haircuts and skincare treatments for heat.
Back-to-School (August–September): busy families seek convenient mobile grooming.
