Give owners more CONFIDENCE to contact you

With our kennels webpages, dog owners know exactly where to look for information they want. With many questions answered, and your suitability already considered - you can give owners confidence by SHOWING them what you do, and what makes you special.

Today's evolving pet trends means that dog welfare is the key to a successful boarding kennels - and to you of course, it is a matter of pride. By clearly showing what you do, you can give owners the confidence to get in touch, visit and book. They need confidence to entrust you with their dogs.

Photos are incredibly powerful - bookings can increase dramatically just by providing pictures!!! Unfortunately photos of kennels on websites or leaflets are a rare thing - few are up to a high enough standard to show anything in detail - and it can be difficult if you don't have a website, and expensive if someone else manages it for you.

Of course, we all know 'no photos' can translate as 'hiding something', and implies that the owner would rather they were not seen! But this makes NO SENSE for high quality kennels to turn away bookings like this!

If you're proud of your kennels you should show them off.
Let dog owners SEE how good you are!

Even if you don't have your own website, we can host your kennel photos for you to give customers maximum confidence in you. Which means MORE BOOKINGS for YOU!!!

40% of my Bookings “Kay, I can't thank you enough, we get 40% of our business through your website - and they are all the most lovely, caring customers” Jan Beaumont, Park Kennels Oxfordshire UK 2790 since 4th June 2007 ('live' popularity rank) MEMBER

Encourage more SERIOUS enquiries

If your boarding kennels are good, your fees will naturally be higher - reflecting their quality, and the cost of building, heating, good food, well-trained and mature staff etc. Dog owners soon understand that heating, food, great facilities, personal care and services have to be paid for - and cheap fees can mean poor facilities or even neglect due to lack of staff or hygiene.

I know it can be a real pain in the neck to keep repeating to customers just WHY your fees are higher. But as soon as they learn just how much difference a quality and caring service provides, they can UNDERSTAND why the cheap kennels down the road is so cheap!

Lose the 'how much?' queries by attracting customers who want your particular services and a higher level of care for their beloved dog.

70-90% of my Bookings “Hi Kay, thankyou soooooo much for putting my pics onto the website they look great. I've already had a huge amount of hits since you updated it. Every customer that has found us online through the website has booked with us so the percentage has increased! They love the website and tell me how informative it is, we have people from hundreds of miles board their dogs and from abroad also. With genuine love from your dear friend Jane xxxxxx” Jane Cole, Gentian Hill Boarding Kennels in Cornwall UK When Jane opened her kennels we helped her get 90% of her bookings. 3 years on she is an established business with those customers returning, she is still getting 70% of her new bookings through BoardingKennels.org! 1512 since 4th June 2007 ('live' popularity rank) MEMBER

85% of my Bookings “85% of our customer bookings find us through your website! THANK YOU !!! "Being a new business we needed to 'get our name known', this is much harder than people realise as word of mouth seems to be the favoured method of finding a good kennels.Having put our heart and soul into our building and being confident about the fact that what we were offering was better than anyone else, we faced the long and somewhat daunting task, of getting a good reputaion that people would want to talk about. Advertising on your boarding kennels site has now, after only six months of being open, put us firmly on the map. We have had a fabulous first summer season, being fully booked virtually throughout. We are fully booked for Christmas and the New Year and both this month (Sept) and October are nearly fully booked. I would imagine that this is almost unheard of in a new business and we know that 85% of our customers are finding us through your website. We cannot thank you, or recommend you enough and we will be eternally grateful and forever in your debt for all that you have done for us." Heartfelt thanks and love always, Jackie 3906 since June 2007 ('live' popularity rank) MEMBER

Thanks to you we get customers coming from the other side of the country to see our beautiful kennels. We even had one lovely couple drive 7 hours to see us (and 7 hrs back) in a day!" Jackie Ferrier, Canine Country Club UK

The above kennels were added here because they were delighted with the old site and publicity, and all provide comments below. The new improved site (and 'live' visitor statistics) only started on 4th June 2007.

I will shortly be adding a 'dog owners feedback' system to the site - so not only can dog owners SEE how good your kennels are and get lots of information about you, they'll also be able to read real feedback from your customers. It's VERY powerful!

Our Members tell me about the great feedback they're getting already through this website - so I want to publish it for everyone to read!
