I am a small dog grooming school. Within the school I operate a dog grooming salon, so when I don't have students my instructor and I groom dogs.
The best thing I have done so far is to get my website up and then with a web optimiser who makes sure I am on the first page when you pull up either dog grooming or dog grooming schools in
my area.
I also do the local Humane Society events as a vendor. I pass out cards with a coupon for $5 off the first groom and also give samples of the all natural dog food and treats I sell.
I have done seminars at local high schools that
give Vet Tech courses, however I have not gained any students from them.
I have also been involved as a vendor a local career/job fairs to promote the school to gain
students. So far I have interest, but they want financial aid which I can not provide, because my course is only 9wks and the whole tuition is under $5400.00.
I have advertised in a small local paper & magazine, however not much from either.
I have just recently advertised in a statewide
magazine for pet lovers and hope that that might bring students
