Well, hey there! Let’s talk about gettin’ more folks interested in your dog trainin’ business, or whatever you call it. You know, gettin’ them dog traffic leads, like them city folks say.
First off, you gotta make sure people can find you. It’s like this, if you’re sellin’ eggs but you’re hidin’ in the barn, ain’t nobody gonna buy ’em, right? So, get yourself one of them website thingies. Put up some pictures of you with the dogs, happy dogs, well-behaved dogs. Folks like seein’ that. And tell ’em what you do, plain and simple. Don’t go usin’ all them fancy words that nobody understands. Just say, “I teach dogs to sit, stay, and not chew up your shoes.” Somethin’ like that.
Then, there’s this social media stuff. My grandkids are always on it, tappin’ away on them little phones. Seems like everyone’s on it, so you should be too. Post pictures, little videos of the dogs learnin’ tricks. People love that kinda stuff. And make sure you tell ’em how to get in touch with you. Put your phone number big and bold, like this: CALL ME at 555-DOGS.
Now, about them ads. I hear them city folk payin’ big money for them ads on the computin’ machine, on places like this “Link-a-din” thing. They got these forms and all, but that sounds too complicated for us country folk. Keep it simple, I say. Maybe put an ad in the local paper, you know, the one that comes out once a week. Or put up some flyers at the feed store and the grocery store. Folks gotta see your name and what you do.
- Flyers: Put ’em up where people go. Feed store, grocery store, even the post office.
- Local Paper: A little ad, nothin’ fancy. Just your name and what you do.
- Word of Mouth: Tell your neighbors, your friends, everyone you know. That’s the best kind of advertisin’.
Another thing, them landing pages they talk about. It’s just a page on your website where folks land when they click on somethin’. Make sure it’s easy to understand. Big ol’ button that says “Sign Up for Dog Trainin’” or “Call Me for a Free Chat.” Don’t make folks hunt around for what they need. They got short attention spans, you know?
And don’t forget about talkin’ to folks face-to-face. Go to them dog shows, them fairs, anywhere there’s dogs and dog people. Set up a little booth, hand out some treats for the dogs, and chat with the owners. Tell ’em what you do, how you can help them with their furry friends. That’s what they call “outbound lead generation” in the city, but we just call it talkin’ to people.
If you’re good with that video thingy, make some short little clips showin’ dogs doin’ tricks, showin’ happy customers. Folks like seein’ that. And if you got some happy customers, ask ’em to say a few nice words about you. That’s what they call them testimonials. Put them on your website, on your flyers, everywhere you can.
And one more thing, join them online dog groups. You know, them places where folks talk about their dogs. Answer some questions, give some advice. Don’t be pushy, just be helpful. Folks will see you know what you’re talkin’ about and they’ll come to you when they need help with their own dogs. Participate in local dog-training activities is good too. Go where the dogs are, that’s what I say.
So, there you have it. Some good ol’ common sense ways to get them dog traffic leads. It ain’t rocket science, just hard work and bein’ friendly. Treat folks right, treat their dogs right, and you’ll do just fine. And remember, promotin’ your services in your local area is the most important thing. Folks need to know you’re there and ready to help.
Generate quality leads by keepin’ it simple and bein’ yourself. That’s the key. Don’t try to be somethin’ you ain’t. Just be good at what you do and let folks know about it. And don’t be afraid to ask for help if you need it. There’s plenty of folks out there who know more about this computin’ machine stuff than we do.
Now, I gotta go feed them chickens. You take care now, and good luck gettin’ them dog traffic leads!
