Social media marketing strategy
Waggy Tails Grooming
Waggy Tails Grooming will use short clips of the bath and blow-dry, plain explanations of coats and styles and quick photo quotes on WhatsApp to turn dog owners into messages and bookings.

Fix these first
Open a WhatsApp Business account and ask owners for a daylight picture of the coat before they book, so every quote starts from a clear photo.
Ask owners at collection whether their dog may be posted, and tag only those who say yes.
Put the breed and the dog's first name in every caption, so owners searching for their own breed find your posts.

A fluffy dog straight off the table is the kind of picture owners save, share and tag friends under.
Fix on your profile:
- Show the salon logo in the profile picture, and let the first post be a bright, well-lit dog.
- In the bio, say that you groom dogs, name your town and invite owners to message about a coat.
- Add highlights for Styles, Coats explained and How to book.

Dog owners ask each other for a groomer in local and breed groups, and a page lets them check you before messaging.
Fix on your profile:
- Fill in the salon address, your opening days and a message button.
- Pin a post that explains how a groom is booked.
- Switch on reviews so owners can say how their dog's visit went.
WhatsApp 3 posts in 4 weeks · Status updates, Quick replies, Photo quotes
A coat is easier to judge from a photo than from a description, so owners can message a picture and get a straight answer.
Fix on your profile:
- Set up WhatsApp Business with the salon's name, where it is and the hours you reply.
- Greet each sender by asking for the dog's name, breed and age plus a clear photo of the coat.
