Tips, Tricks, and Awesome Ideas for Creating the Coolest Collars and Leashes for Your Growing Teen Scheme!

One thing all kid businesses need is FLARE! If you have a special umph that’ll set you apart from run of the mill collars and leads available in department stores and pet shops, then you might have a real chance at selling your goods. Here are some prime ideas that you kiddos should put to use when you start your business!

Always offer to make custom collars if they are requested.

If a customer requests for you to make a collar with a specific type of pattern, you should do it! Then, make a few extras to have on hand in different sizes in case other customers find interest too. Utilizing customer ideas is the BEST way to keep in touch with the needs and desires of your strongest supporters.

Offer some awesome embellishments and charms at a small charge.

If you have some cute iron ons, charms (such as dog bones, fishies, or kitten paws), bells, jewels, bows, ribbons, frills, or other trinkets, you could offer to put those on collars! This makes your services and goods much more personalized and unique for families and their canine & feline pets; one of the most popular traits of small animal oriented businesses.

Use reflective materials in your collars as a safety precaution for your customers’ pets.

Reflective collars are a big deal with pets, and for good reason. Many people would only buy collars with reflective materials; whether it be a reflective band all the way around, or a bunch of reflective spots. If you want to earn money with these items, make sure you can cater to safety needs! A reflective collar will help people to see cats and dogs at nighttime, keeping the family pet safe should it wander into a road.
