After speaking with a few clients today, we realize the need to reiterate the fact that for those owning and operating the K9000 dog washes, you can 'pre-sell' dog washes to the pet community by offering TOKENS and COUPONS. This way, you collect a larger amount of revenue upfront but can also offer the dog owner a FREE dog wash with the package. For example, buy 5 dog washes ($50 - 5 x $10 tokens) and get the 6th FREE. It's a win/win for everybody.
Now even though dog owners will use the $10 token for a wash, they may need to add another few bucks during the wash cycle to complete it. No problem there, right?
Taking it a step further, get involved in your local pet related events and sell the tokens at these events/show. Sell them through your website so folks can purchase the tokens/coupons online - you ship them that day in the mail. Provide tokens to the local animal shelters and have them give one for every new adoption. Come on guys, it's not that hard. It just takes a little upfront work so you can sit home and make a ton of money while your K9000 is working hard for you.
Getting creative with the tokens/coupons will only drive more revenue and traffic to your K9000 dog wash. What other suggestions are out there? Let's hear from YOU.

What The Animal Shelter Expo 2008 Proved
This was our first experience at the Animal Shelter Expo and most of the folks we spoke with are pretty excited about the potential of adding the K9000 dog wash to their shelter. The K9000 makes perfect sense for humane societies, spcas and other shelters. Especially the shelters with dog parks.
Think about it this way: if you are a dog owner, would you rather pay the car wash down the street $10 to wash your dog in a K9000 or your local Humane Society? ...knowing that your $10 is helping a great cause vs. going into someone's pocket who may not even know. Everyone wins when the K9000 is located and offered at the shelters.
Plus, shelters can easily promote the use of the K9000 dog wash by giving a token for a FREE wash when someone rescues a dog. And the fund-raising opportunities are endless. We believe that you will start to see the K9000 dog wash in a lot of shelters over the next few years. Be on the lookout for them!
