Purr‑fect Flyers: Groom More Clients for Your Pet Grooming Studio
Why Flyers Are Tail‑Waggingly Effective for Pet Groomers
When pet parents notice matted fur, overgrown nails, or a dog that just reeks after a romp in the mud, they want a friendly, local groomer they can trust—fast. A banner ad won’t help the wet‑dog smell; a tactile flyer slipped under the door, posted at the vet’s office, or stacked at the neighborhood pet supply store bridges that gap. Unlike fleeting online posts, a well‑designed flyer lives on fridges, in mudrooms, and on community boards—reminding owners to book that much‑needed spa day for Fido or Fluffy.
A flyer’s unique power for pet groomers? It pairs adorable imagery with clear service breakdowns and an irresistible offer, all on one sheet that fetches new appointments.

Timing Your Flyer Campaign Around Pet Care Cycles
Align your drops with moments when grooming needs peak:
Seasonal Coat Changes (Spring & Fall): shedding seasons drive de‑shedding treatments.
Holiday Photo Season (November–December): families want their pets looking their best.
Warm‑Weather Fun (May–August): flea baths and paw‑pad care after beach trips.
Back‑to‑School & Work (September): busy owners schedule grooming before they commute.
A single drop is a bark; repeated drops every 6–8 weeks build strong loyalty—see why in Why Repetition Is Your Secret Weapon in Direct Mail Marketing.
Offers That Have Pet Parents Fetching Appointments

“15% Off First Groom—Show This Flyer!”
“Free Nail Trim with Any Full‑Service Groom”
“Refer a Friend—Both Pets Get $10 Off”
“Bundle Bath + Brush & Save 10% (Flyer Only)”
