Why a Christmas Newsletter Should Be Part of Your Holiday Season Marketing Plan

November 11, 20253 min read

The Christmas season is one of the busiest – and most magical – times of the year for home-based dog groomers. Clients are getting their pups pampered for family photos, festive parties, and cozy cuddles by the tree. It’s also the perfect time to connect with your customers in a way that builds loyalty, boosts bookings, and spreads some Christmas sparkle.

That’s where a Bumper Christmas newsletter comes in. ✨

If you’ve ever wondered whether it’s worth putting one together, here’s why a festive newsletter can make all the difference to your grooming business this season.


1. It Strengthens Your Relationship with Clients

Your Christmas newsletter gives you the perfect opportunity to show your clients how much you appreciate them. You can thank them for their loyalty, share a heartfelt message, and make them feel part of your grooming family.

A warm, friendly message helps your business stand out as personal and caring — something that clients remember when booking again in the new year.


2. It Encourages Repeat Bookings Before the Rush

December appointments fill up fast, but not everyone plans ahead. A newsletter is the ideal gentle reminder to get booked in early before the festive frenzy hits.

You can also include:

  • Last-minute availability updates

  • Special Christmas grooming packages

  • A link to book online or message you directly

Clients love easy reminders — and this helps you keep your calendar full without having to chase anyone up.


3. It’s a Great Way to Announce Christmas Offers

Have you created a festive pamper package? Are you selling gift vouchers or adding cute Christmas bows?

Your newsletter is the perfect place to share these offers in one eye-catching message. Even clients who haven’t booked yet might be tempted to grab a gift voucher or pre-book their dog’s January tidy-up before the new year rush.


4. It Adds a Touch of Festive Magic to Your Brand

A bumper Christmas newsletter isn’t just about updates — it’s about creating a moment of joy for your readers.

You can include:

  • Fun festive photos of your clients’ dogs

  • Pet safety tips for the holidays

  • Christmas grooming advice (like how to keep coats tangle-free between grooms)

  • A little peek behind the scenes of your salon decorations

It helps your business feel friendly, fun, and full of personality — something that keeps your clients emotionally connected to your brand all year long.


5. It Sets You Up for Success in the New Year

The benefits don’t stop once the decorations come down. Sending a great Christmas newsletter helps keep your name top of mind as clients start planning for 2026.

It builds trust, familiarity, and engagement — which all lead to repeat bookings and referrals later on.
