I have business cards for personal attendants and personal shoppers. Today I got a new and different business card to include in my business card book that is shared with my clients. Clients frequently rummage through the book looking for prospective people to do business with - such as plumbers, electricians, handymen and the like.
I was at the Sun City West Veterinary Clinic with my Pekingese Shareik. After seeing the vet, I waited at the front counter for medication and to make Shareik's next appointment. The clinic had numerous business cards in their holders displayed on the counter. Naturally, I looked through the card holders to see if I knew anyone or perhaps if there was a specific service that I would consider adding into my business card book. I fingered through the business cards on the counter and found that there were business cards from almost every real estate company in town. One industrious agent from another company (I don't remember which one) had color flyers on the counter for one of his new listings.
There it was - a new business card! It was a business card for a chauffeuring service. This was not the typical escort or chauffeuring service that you would normally think of. The business card had a picture of a pooch peering out from the passenger side of the car.
A PETSCORT service! The business is an escort service for pets. They will pick up your pets, drive them to the vet, to the groomer, or just take them from one house or business establishment to another. What an awesome idea. If the pet owner cannot take the animal, the pet chauffeuring service will.
The service is available only in Sun City West, Sun City Grand, Arizona Traditions and some areas of Surprise. The cost is minimal considering the price of gas and the time saved.
I spoke with the proprietor who even offered me references. Yep, references. After all, what is the most prized possession in your home???

Leolinda,
Very interesting....and I see where it can makes sense.
Dan, My dog likes to shake himself when he gets into my car after being goomed leaving bits of fur in the car. No more car fur messes if I use the PETSCORT service.
They're living better then me. Not bad if you have pets. I've never been in a limo myself.
Robert, neither I - my first limo ride will be with friends in Las Vegas. Of course it brings to my next commercial "What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas".
Great idea! One thing that I'm working out to send out to my service is a list of services that they can count on...plumber, electrician, pest control, pet sitting etc.
This is a great way to support vendors that do great service and refer you business! They will be more loyal than ever when you send them the magnetic card that's a quick reference with their service listed on it!
Great idea Michelle!
