  • APSE 2.0

    Posted February 20, 2011 By in APSE News and Events With | No Comments

    After less than a year since we launched APSE, it continues to become clear what you want from a pet sitting association.

    This redesign is not so much of a redesign as it is a restructure of our content that we have for you.

    We have now put our focus on providing pet sitters (both members and non-members) freely available content.

    Content in the form of articles, tutorials, recorded expert interviews, video training and community.

    Please take a few moments to look around our site. You’ll notice some solid changes.

  • How To Attract More of the Pet Sitting Clients You Want

    Posted January 8, 2011 By in Pet Sitters With | 1 Comment

    This was the question posed recently on the APSE Facebook Fan page:

    Hello fellow pet sitters! We are getting booked up with time restrictive dog clients and are wanting to add more cat clients or house sitting only clients to our business. Any advice on how to advertise to cat clients only or house sitting only clients would be much appreciated. Thanks, Big Sky Animal Nanny, LLC

    Great question, and since I had so much to say in response, I decided to turn it into this blog post. Enjoy…

    It’s no secret that I’m a big proponent of using your website to attract visitors, so I’m going to focus on just that and share with you a few steps that will greatly increase your chances of attracting those cat clients you are looking for (or any other specific clients).

    You also know that there is no such money transfer for several million dollars waiting for you in some overseas location.

    However, some email scams are a bit more subtle.

    Posted October 8, 2010 By in Pet Sitters, SEO and Marketing With | 15 Comments

    What’s the one thing you want more than anything else from your pet sitting business day in and day out?

    More pet sitting clients, right?

    Truth be told, everything we do as pet sitting business owners revolves around cracking that mysterious puzzle of finding new clients. (Without clients we have no business.)

    I think I found the solution!

    Listen to my short (23 minutes) interview with Maribeth Kuzmeski, the founder of Red Zone Marketing in the Chicago area.

    The One Thing You Must Get Done

    Maribeth KuzmeskiMaribeth is one of the presenters at our upcoming virtual conference and, inside this interview, she spells out in detail how to find and craft your unique marketing message that WILL get clients talking about you.

    This interview will get your head spinning with a ton of ideas on how to specifically grow your business with your own personal message.

    I challenge you to try it and see for yourself!

    Oh, I’m also giving away a free copy of Maribeth’s book, “…And the Clients Went Wild!” to a lucky listener.

    All you need to do is listen to the interview, and leave a comment answering the question below.
