Whether you're just starting out in the pet-sitting business or you're a seasoned professional, a pet-sitting flyer can help attract new clients. Create an eye-catching flyer by adding at least one image, using color, bullet points and varying font sizes. Use concise and informative language to entice customers to call or visit your website for their pet-sitting needs.
Instructions
1. Jot down details about your business that you want to include in your flyer, such as price, business hours, contact information and any restrictions you may have. For example, you may only care for pets up to a certain size or with a calm demeanor. This list will help ensure that your brochure is accurate and complete.
2. Use a computer word processing program, such as Microsoft Word. With this program, you can type your flyer and then change the font size to larger (such as 20-point type) for headers and smaller (such as 12-point type) for the rest of the text. You can make important parts of the text bold or italic for emphasis. You may also change the color and font type to suit your taste. Center headers horizontally on the page, and make the rest of the text flush left.
3. Type the name of your company and add "Pet Sitting" or "Pet-Sitting Services" if it isn't already included in your business name.
4. Type your business's phone number and address, if applicable. If you are working out of your home and do not want customers stopping by unannounced, only list the phone number. Add your website address if you have one.
5. Add an image to your flyer. Search free online image galleries, such as stock.xchng (www.sxc.hu/home), for a suitable image. Save the image to your computer's hard drive. In your Word document, navigate to "Insert," click "Picture," and find the image you just saved.
6. Introduce yourself. Greet the reader with "Hello, friend" or "Dear Neighbor." Give your full name and a little background about yourself, including your experience with pet-sitting. Tell potential clients why they should trust their pets with you.
7. Discuss the details of your service. Include the information from the list you've written. Your introduction and details sections should not exceed 100 words.
8. List the types of pets you are willing to sit for. For example, your list may include dogs, cats, birds, ferrets and lizards.
9. Proofread the text before you print, to look for spelling or grammatical errors. Print one copy and ask a friend or relative to proofread it. Make any necessary changes and proofread once more before you print out copies to be distributed.
