Pet Owners Follow Groomers, Not Grooming Shops
Your clients love their groomer, not your storefront. Give groomers a QR code to own those relationships from their phone — and let the Copilot bring clients back between visits. When a groomer moves, the customers follow.
Sound familiar?
These are the challenges pet grooming & services face every day. Blinko solves all of them.
Grooming shops own the customer data
Groomers can't build independent client base. When they leave shop, they lose customers.
70% of dogs don't return for next grooming
Owners forget when to groom. No reminder system = customer goes elsewhere.
High groomer turnover
Groomers leave when better opportunity elsewhere. Shop loses groomer AND their customers.
Manual rebooking takes hours
Calling pet owners to remind them: time-consuming and low-success rate.

Groomer shows QR code
After grooming: "Tap to book next appointment"
Owner books next grooming
4-6 weeks out for next groom. One tap.
Automatic reminders
SMS 1 week before, 1 day before. Owner confirms.
Groomer owns relationship
When groomer changes shops, owner's QR code updates location. Customers follow groomer.
Questions, answered.
The things pet grooming & services ask before they sign up.
How do I remind an owner that their dog is due for a groom?
expand_more
Book the next appointment at pickup and Blinko Automations queue the reminder at the interval that suits the coat — shorter for a doodle, longer for a short-hair. The owner confirms from their phone.
Do owners have to give me their phone number?
expand_more
No. They scan your code once at pickup — no signup, no email, no account — and you can reach them through Blinko from then on. Owners with the free Blinko app connect instantly; new ones do a quick one-time free download.
Can I take a deposit for a grooming appointment?
expand_more
Yes. Send a payment request for the deposit or the full groom and the owner pays from their phone. Blinko takes a 0% platform fee on it.
Does this replace my grooming booking software?
expand_more
No. Keep your diary where it is. Blinko adds the reminders, the loyalty card, and the direct line to owners between visits.
