Make the Busy Season Work for You – Not Against You
The holidays are the most wonderful (and chaotic) time of the year for pet care businesses. Phones are ringing off the hook, boarding suites are booked solid, and groomers are working overtime to get every pup photo-ready for family gatherings.
But here’s the truth: the busiest season doesn’t automatically mean the most profitable one — unless your software is helping you pull the right levers.
At RunLoyal, we’ve built tools specifically designed to help you make the most of these high-demand months – so you can earn more, work smarter, and deliver an even better experience for your customers.
When it comes to customer satisfaction, pet care centers know that quality service is key. But how do you ensure that your services are hitting the mark? The answer lies in the voices of your customers. Gathering and analyzing customer feedback isn’t just about listening—it’s about learning, adapting, and improving. Let’s dive into how feedback can transform your pet care services and lead to happier customers, all while keeping your business in tip-top shape.
1. Peak Day Pricing: Maximize Revenue on High-Demand Dates
The holidays bring predictable spikes in demand – Thanksgiving, Christmas, New Year’s, and even long weekends like Memorial Day. With Peak Day Pricing, you can set predefined dates that automatically charge an additional fee per visit.
This feature ensures your pricing reflects the true value of your services during peak times – and the best part? Invoices update automatically, and pet owners see those peak days clearly before they book.
No confusion. No manual adjustments. Just smart, automated revenue management.
2. Sell E-Gift Cards to Lock In Future Business
The holidays are the perfect time to promote E-Gift Cards. Friends and family love giving experiences, and what’s better than gifting a pet parent a day of play, a grooming session, or a boarding stay at their favorite facility?
RunLoyal’s built-in gift card feature lets you sell digital cards directly through your branded app and website – no third-party tools required.
It’s a simple way to boost holiday revenue, attract new customers, and lock in future visits long after the decorations come down.
Not only does this tool allow you to boost your online presence with glowing reviews, but it also ensures that you stay ahead of any potential issues, making continuous improvement a natural part of your business strategy.
3. Use Built-In Marketing Tools to Capture the Holiday Spirit
From “Santa Paws” photo ops to donation drives and holiday specials, this season is full of marketing moments that pet owners can’t resist.
RunLoyal’s integrated marketing tools make it easy to send push notifications, create in-app promotions, and highlight seasonal offers that drive bookings.
Whether it’s a grooming package discount or an early-bird boarding special, you can promote your events and offers instantly – directly to your most loyal audience.
4. Editable Holiday Hours: Keep Operations Smooth and Clear
Every holiday falls on a different day of the week – and that can create scheduling chaos if your system isn’t flexible.
With Editable Hours in RunLoyal, you can quickly block off drop-off and pick-up times for specific holidays, adjust staffing schedules, or update customer-facing availability in just a few clicks.
This eliminates confusion, prevents last-minute surprises, and helps you keep operations running smoothly – even when your team is juggling high volumes.
Does Your Software Help You Do All This?
If your current platform doesn’t support these features, you’re missing out on valuable revenue and operational efficiency during the most profitable time of the year.
RunLoyal gives pet care facilities the power to:
- Automate peak-day pricing
- Sell digital gift cards
- Manage flexible hours and holiday schedules
- Run targeted marketing campaigns from one system
All from your own custom-branded app, and best of all these are all features that are included in your subscription!
