Ep. 1 Double Your Doggy Daycare Business with a Proven Multi-Channel Marketing Strategy

January 31, 2024

Do you find you work too many hours in your pet business?


Do you wish you could charge higher prices for the amazing service you offer?


Well, this week’s episode will help you bust out of that long hours/low pay mindset, because Dom is talking to Tim Jackson, a dog behaviourist and doggy daycare owner from the North East of England.


Tim started his pet care business as a side hustle to his vet nurse job, eventually adding more services, and staff members until he finally opened his daycare in 2009. He made the classic mistake of thinking he needed to charge low prices, which led to long hours, low profits and staffing struggles.


Then Tim invested in a business education that unleashed a passion and a talent for marketing that has transformed the business and elevated him above the competition. 


Tune in to discover;


  • From Peanuts to Premium Prices: How Tim went from working long hours and charging low prices to offering premium pet care services
  • Revolutionizing Doggy Daycare: How Tim Jackson re-imagined doggy daycare, transforming it from a basic service to an exciting experience for both pets and their owners.
  • Mastering the Art of Upselling: The secret to introducing irresistible upsells, that significantly boosts revenue while enhancing customer satisfaction.
  • Building a Brand That Resonates: How Tim crafted a compelling brand story that resonates deeply with his target audience, and positioned himself as a local expert through publishing and events.
  • Personalizing Pet Care: Explore Tim’s innovative approach to personalizing pet care, creating an unparalleled experience that keeps customers coming back.
  • Mentorship and Growth: Learn about the pivotal role mentorship played in Tim’s journey, offering crucial guidance and support that continually pushed him out of his comfort zone
