Why create content for your pet business around the seasons?
What it’s like being a pet parent in the summer is different to the winter, and your clients look to you for advice.
Likewise, if someone is landing on your website and you’ve got loads of helpful resources, it helps you stand out from the other pet pros they may be checking out.
And if you’re able to get in the press sharing your expertise, that’s building your credibility and can lead to bookings or sales.
If you’ve a product that’s summer themed, whether it’s an essential like a portable water bottle, a fun accessory or toy, you can use the summer as a hook or angle.
