Share your dog grooming portfolio on social media!<\/h3>\n[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;][vc_column_text]Unique content shouldn&#8217;t\u00a0<em>only\u00a0<\/em>be shared on your blog and website, though. Social media is also a key tool at your disposal! And what better unique content to share than photos of dog grooming work you&#8217;ve done?<\/p>\n<p>Do some research and pinpoint which platforms you&#8217;d like to maximize. I actually recommend securing your social media handles as soon as you&#8217;ve <a href=\"\/2016\/06\/dog-grooming-business-name\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">registered your business name<\/a>, so that no one else can take it. From there, build your pages in a way that aligns with your brand and vision.<\/p>\n<p>When it comes to social media, posting regularly is key! Apps such as Later and Hootsuite can help you schedule your posts in advance. Plus, platforms like Instagram can show you metrics that&#8217;ll help you better determine the optimal days\/times you should be posting.<\/p>\n<p>Here are few other tips to keep in mind when marketing your dog grooming portfolio on social media:[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;]<div class=\"nectar-fancy-ul\" data-list-icon=\"icon-salient-thin-line\" data-animation=\"true\" data-animation-delay=\"250\" data-color=\"accent-color\" data-spacing=\"default\" data-alignment=\"left\"> \n<ul>\n<li>Engage with everyone who takes the time to leave a comment on your posts and\/or message you privately.<\/li>\n<li>Give credit wherever credit is due. E.g. if someone else took the photo, give them credit in your post as the image&#8217;s photographer. They&#8217;ll appreciate that!<\/li>\n<li>It&#8217;s better to be safe than sorry. Always get your client&#8217;s permission (preferably in writing) before share a photo of their pet on your social media account(s).<\/li>\n<li>If you have the budget for it, invest in marketing ads for your website and\/or blog articles.<\/li>\n<li>Don&#8217;t\u00a0<em>over post<\/em>. If you spam your followers&#8217; feeds with too many posts in a given day, it could put them off and potentially make them unfollow you.<\/li>\n<li>A harmonious balance between <a href=\"https:\/\/ahrefs.com\/blog\/evergreen-content\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">evergreen content<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/topicseed.com\/blog\/topical-content\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">topical content<\/a> is the key for success.<\/li>\n<li>Furthermore, all posts should accurately reflect your business&#8217;s brand.<\/li>\n<li>As much as possible, always post 100% original content.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][image_with_animation image_url=&#8221;13089&#8243; alignment=&#8221;&#8221; animation=&#8221;None&#8221; border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; box_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; max_width=&#8221;100%&#8221;][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column_text]\n<h3>5.

Most of your business&#8217;s PR will be done through your <a href=\"\/2020\/04\/5-ways-to-get-more-clients-for-your-dog-grooming-business\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">groomer-client experiences<\/a>, social media presence, and professional business website. But there are plenty of ways you can use public relations to market your dog grooming portfolio, too!<\/p>\n<p>For example, you can make your work easily shareable. This way, others can easily share and promote your business (with your permission, of course) after they&#8217;ve discovered you. Here are a couple ways you can do this on your website:[\/vc_column_text][divider line_type=&#8221;No Line&#8221; custom_height=&#8221;30&#8243;]<div class=\"nectar-fancy-ul\" data-list-icon=\"icon-salient-thin-line\" data-animation=\"true\" data-animation-delay=\"250\" data-color=\"accent-color\" data-spacing=\"default\" data-alignment=\"left\"> \n<ul>\n<li><strong>Write up an engaging bio for yourself on the &#8216;About&#8217; section of your site.<\/strong> This will help others know who you are and what you do. Moreover, they&#8217;ll be able to pull the right info from your bio when promoting you on their own platform.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Make sure the portfolio images included on your website are large (but not\u00a0<em>too\u00a0<\/em>large) in size.<\/strong> This way, people can download and share your photos without sacrificing their high quality. If you&#8217;re worried about people taking your photos without your knowledge or consent, include a blurb on your portfolio webpage that clearly states that proper credit and a link back to your website are required for anyone who wishes to share your work.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n <\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=&#8221;in_container&#8221; full_screen_row_position=&#8221;middle&#8221; scene_position=&#8221;center&#8221; text_color=&#8221;dark&#8221; text_align=&#8221;left&#8221; overlay_strength=&#8221;0.3&#8243; shape_divider_position=&#8221;bottom&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column column_padding=&#8221;no-extra-padding&#8221; column_padding_position=&#8221;all&#8221; background_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; background_hover_color_opacity=&#8221;1&#8243; column_link_target=&#8221;_self&#8221; column_shadow=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_radius=&#8221;none&#8221; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243; tablet_width_inherit=&#8221;default&#8221; tablet_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; phone_text_alignment=&#8221;default&#8221; column_border_width=&#8221;none&#8221; column_border_style=&#8221;solid&#8221; bg_image_animation=&#8221;none&#8221;][vc_column_text]Do YOU have any additional tips to add to this list?
