There are thousands of Staten Island dog groomers out there serving Staten Island, Brooklyn, and Manhattan - but, we’re 100% confident that there are none quite like Tracey Madden, owner of Tracey’s Pampered Pups.

The very first thing we noticed about Tracey was her friendly, outgoing personality and her immense love for dogs.  She’s the type of groomer who genuinely falls in love with any four-footed client she comes in contact with and can’t help but to treat each of her clients as if they were part of her own furry family.  As a professional Staten Island pet stylist, her passion lies in making each of her clients a work of art on the outside (because they’re already a work of art on the inside, of course!).

Everyone here at the FFWD firm have been so impressed with Tracey, both as a person as well as a groomer, that some members of our staff have actually even contemplated making the six hour drive from Pittsburgh to Staten Island just to have their furry kids groomed at Tracey’s Pampered Pups!  We’re not joking either!

Because Tracey has been absolutely tremendous to work with, making her project a true pleasure for us, and because she’s just so kind-hearted, genuine, and sweet - we are beyond proud to announce Tracey’s Pampered Pups as Furry Friends Web Design’s CLIENT OF THE MONTH  for May 2009.

 What did Tracey have to say about her experience with working with our firm?

“I couldn’t be any happier with FFWD. Everyone I worked with was amazing and I am thrilled with all of the designs that were created for my business. I would recommend you without any reservations and in fact, would consider anyone starting a pet business, foolish if they didn’t use your services. Thank you to Kera (Project Manager) - You were so patient with me and understanding. You explained everything to me in detail and never laughed at my lack of knowledge. You helped me every step of the way and I so appreciate that. FFWD is an incredible company with extraordinary people and I wish you all the success in the world! That translates to “don’t change a thing - you guys are awesome!!!!!”

Thank you, Tracey, and CONGRATULATIONS!

It’s crucial to have a website that reflects your company’s product or service and that explains what you’re about, but that isn’t the primary purpose of your website.  Let’s face it, the primary goal of any website is to sell your product or service.  You want everyone who visits your site to become a customer!  Achieving success with your website means having content (the written portion of your site) that SELLS.

You obviously already believe in your product or service, but convincing others that they need what you’re offering requires writing that sells.  There are several elements to successful sales writing.  Understanding their importance will put you on the path to a website that generates outstanding profit.

Here at FFWD we enjoy working with all of our clients.  Each individual or company we work with is unique, interesting and a great way to stretch our creative talents, but some clients become FFWD favorites.  Pet-Aire, owned by Annette Uda, is one of those special clients we truly love to work with for a number of reasons. 

The Pet-Aire product is such an amazing and exciting innovation in preventing pet atopy, pet skin allergies, and kennel cough that we were all thrilled to be working on getting the word out about the Pet-Aire filtration system!  The Pet-Aire system uses specialized filters and UV light to clean the air in your home, getting rid of dust mites, pollen, viruses and mold so that your pets can breathe easier and stop suffering from itchy, painful skin allergies caused by airborne allergens.  How cool is that?!

We also loved working with Annette.  She exemplifies the kind of client we love here at FFWD – responsive, dedicated and always a pleasure to talk to!  Annette had plenty of ideas on what she wanted for her website, but she was always willing to listen to our suggestions and try new approaches.  She responded quickly to our inquiries, worked closely with every member of her design team and appreciated our efforts on behalf of Pet-Aire.  Annette was also receptive to new marketing techniques and gave us lots of creative leeway.  She was a joy to work with!

Because Pet-Aire made working on their website both challenging and enjoyable, it was unanimous here at Furry Friends Web Design that Pet-Aire be recognized as FFWD’s Spring 2009 Favorite Client.  We love you, Annette!  Best of luck with Pet-Aire – we know you’ll help thousands of pets live healthier lives!

Pet Businesses: Why Should You Hire a Pet Industry Copywriter?

Most small pet business owners start their website believing they need to hire a professional for the technical aspects of the design, but hoping they can write the content themselves.  In most cases, they are making a valuable mistake if they don’t use a professional pet industry copywriter.  Why?
