The New GroomingBusiness.com

Welcome to the new GroomingBusiness.com, a comprehensive online business resource for grooming salon owners/operators and pet stylists.

Admittedly, the first incarnation of our website, which was introduced in early 2007 (to coincide with the launch of Grooming Business magazine), was a bit rough around the edges--it was little more than a text-based site that simply housed each issue's editorial content. And while this online platform served its purposed admirably for our fledgling enterprise during its first three years, it was clearly time for an upgrade.

With this in mind, we've given the website a complete facelift. As you can see, the new GroomingBusiness.com has a much more polished look, but that's not where the changes end. Of course, the site still houses all of the articles from each issue of Grooming Business magazine, but we've added (and will continue to add) a bunch of exciting new features...

Breaking News

On the new GroomingBusiness.com, you will find the latest breaking news from all over the grooming world. From news about about popular vendors to grooming competition results to legislative and regulatory updates, if it’s happening in the industry, you’ll be able to read about it on this site.

Blogs

Another exciting new element of our website is the blog section, where visitors will find a wealth of insight from Grooming Business’ editors and regular columnists. These blogs will not only expand on many of the themes that can be found in our magazine—marketing strategies, operational issues, equipment selection and maintenance, etc.—they will offer our readers an opportunity to interact with our editorial team by submitting questions and receiving timely responses.

Videos

While we’re not quite on the level of YouTube (at least not yet), visitors to the new Grooming Business website will find an ever-growing selection of videos that cover everything from valuable how-to information to the sights and sounds of industry trade shows to useful product demonstrations.

Photo Gallery

See the sights from a wide range of grooming industry events, including all of the major trade shows and educational conferences.

Reader Poll

See how other members of the grooming industry respond to timely and topical questions, and offer your own opinion on this new interactive feature.

Interactive Advertiser Index

Want to get more information about a product you saw advertised in the monthly print edition of Grooming Business magazine? Check our interactive advertiser index, which links visitors directly to suppliers.

Even with all of the upgrades we’ve made to GroomingBusiness.com, we still very much consider the site a work in progress. Keep an eye out for the additional features we will introduce as the year progresses (for example, we plan on introducing a comprehensive, interactive online buyers guide in the near future). In addition, we invite you to take a look around and let us know what you think. Send your questions and/or comments about the new GroomingBusiness.com website to mkalaygian@macfad.com.
