Pawdmin for mobile groomers moving home

Why a mobile groomer is closer than most

A mobile groomer already runs the kind of business Pawdmin is designed for: one groomer, one dog at a time, premium service and prices to match. The difference is where the grooming happens. Moving home removes the van and the hours between appointments, and keeps everything clients were paying for.

What carries over to a home-based business

• Your clients. They chose you for one-on-one grooming, and they still get it.
• Your premium positioning. Mobile clients already pay for convenience and attention. At home the attention stays, and the price can follow your time instead of your fuel.
• Your independence. You are already your own boss.

What changes

• Clients come to you. Drop-off and pickup replace your driving. Pawdmin's confirmations and reminders tell the client when to arrive, and you can add your own drop-off instructions to them.
• Your day gets shorter. The time you spent driving is no longer part of the working day.
• Your pricing can become hourly. Without travel in the price, a groom can cost exactly what the time is worth. See hourly billing.

What Pawdmin does not have

Pawdmin has no route planning and nothing else built for a day spent driving between clients. If you are staying mobile, Pawdmin is probably not a good fit, and who Pawdmin is not a good fit for says so plainly.

Making the move with Pawdmin

1. Put new clients on a home-based rate. Create a tier for clients who come to you. See client tiers.
2. Offer existing clients the choice. Some will follow you home, some will not. An itemized estimate shows them what the home-based groom costs.
3. Schedule the year for those who stay. The appointment wizard books a repeating client through December in one pass. See year-ahead scheduling.

When you apply, say that you are mobile now and planning to move home, so Betty and Levi can tell you whether Pawdmin fits your plan. How it works describes the application.
