Social Media Workshop for Pet Businesses

Stop spending hours on social media wondering whether it's actually bringing you customers.

You're brilliant at what you do, whether that's grooming dogs, walking them, caring for pets or running your own pet business. But marketing your services can feel like a completely different job!

Between looking after animals, replying to customers, managing bookings and running your business, finding the time to create content, understand social media algorithms and keep your pages looking professional isn't always easy.

And when you're busy looking after everyone else's pets, your own business marketing often ends up at the bottom of the list.

That's exactly why I've created this workshop.

Join me, Izzy, founder of Flare Business and a pet industry professional with eight years of experience, for a practical, hands-on social media workshop designed specifically for pet business owners.

Whether you're a dog groomer, dog walker, pet sitter, dog trainer, daycare provider or run another pet-related business, this workshop will help you feel more confident marketing your services.

This isn't about becoming an influencer, going viral or posting every single day.

It's about learning how to use social media strategically to attract local customers, generate more enquiries and build a business that works for you.

What we'll cover

🎨 Creating content that looks professional

Learn how to use Canva to create eye-catching, branded social media posts that reflect your business, without spending hours designing them.

We'll create reusable templates so you don't have to start from scratch every time you want to post.

📸 Knowing what to photograph and film

You don't need professional photography equipment or complicated video editing skills to create engaging content.

Discover how to capture photos and videos during your normal working day and turn everyday moments into content that showcases your services, builds trust and attracts potential customers.

📍 Getting found by local pet owners

Your next customer could be searching for your services right now. But will they find your business?

Understand how local SEO works across social media, why keywords matter and how to help people in your area discover your services.

✍️ Writing captions that encourage enquiries

It's not just about posting a lovely photo!

Learn how to write captions that connect with your ideal customers, demonstrate your expertise and encourage people to enquire about your services.

We'll cover keywords, calls to action and how to use AI tools effectively without losing your own personality.

📅 Planning your social media without the overwhelm

No more staring at your phone wondering what to post!

Learn how to create a realistic content plan that works around your business, rather than spending your evenings trying to keep up with social media.

We'll also look at the different types of content that help build trust, showcase your expertise and encourage bookings.

📲 Scheduling your content

Learn how to schedule your social media posts correctly so you can stay consistent, even when you're busy working.

You'll have the opportunity to schedule a post during the workshop.

📢 Understanding Meta advertising

Curious about Facebook and Instagram ads but don't know where to start?

We'll cover an introduction to Meta advertising, including how paid promotion works and what to consider before spending money advertising your pet business.

🎄 Preparing for Christmas and January

The festive season can be incredibly busy for pet businesses, but what happens when January arrives?

We'll explore seasonal marketing ideas, how to make the most of the Christmas period and how to start preparing your social media now to attract customers in the new year.

💻 This isn't just a day of listening!

You'll be working ON your business, not just learning about marketing.

Bring your laptop or iPad because we'll be putting everything into practice throughout the day.

You'll work on your own pet business, create branded content, plan future posts and get individual guidance along the way.
