Barkley and Fetch

So many customers come into the shop for a new harness or collar etc without their dog so sometimes we have to try and work out what size they are! DISCLAIMER: It is always better to actually bring your dog with you to be fitted properly (before anybody starts on me!)😂

You can do as much marketing as you like but these 3 ways always bring customers into your shop!

Choosing a collar colour for your dog be like…. #smallbusiness #supportsmallbusiness #womeninbusiness #handmadeinuk #retailproblems

Sometimes you CBA! Running a small business and doing social media alongside it these days is hard work. We just want to make beautiful dog accessories and sell them! How has it got this hard? If you want to see more of us making silly reels then give us a YAY in the comments and press LIKE else it’s goodnight from me and goodnight from her (if you know you know) #socialmediafatigue #viralvideo

On a lighter note… our Christmas nativity window is getting a lot of love so don’t miss it if you’re visiting the shop x #smallbusiness #supportsmallbusiness #womeninbusiness #nativityscene

FULL DISCLOSURE! BLACK FRIDAY is the worst time of year for small independant businesses like ours. Our website has been DEAD these last few days so if you’re waiting for a BLACK FRIDAY discount code then wait no longer..... there isn’t going to be one. We price our products fairly from the start. We’re not working with the huge mark-ups that big retailers use for overseas-made goods. When you buy from us, you’re getting real value for money. Plus, you’re choosing a product that hasn’t left a massive carbon footprint travelling halfway around the world. However, for all those who’ve supported us over the years and even if you’re new to us, we see you and we appreciate you, so we’ll be giving you a free gift with every purchase over £15 between now and midnight on 30th November. Thank you for shopping small X #blackfriday #womeninbusiness #supportsmallbusiness #shopsmall #handmadeinuk #retailproblems

Unfortunately nobody can make a harness which will fit your Labrador puppy (other puppies are available) which will last through to them being full grown. They’re just like babies and will grow out of things and ruin things. Sorry, but magic harnesses don’t exist x #hashtagsdontwork #supportsmallbusiness #shopsmall #handmadeinuk

There’s a new addition to my dog gallery wall and it’s this gorgeous print from @orna.mentart Looks fab next to my original portrait of Jack by @nancollantine and the prints from @fionawilsonprints….. Love it!

SOUND ON 🔉 Our nativity window is here. It’s so cute listening to the kids chattering away outside about it x

Our dog carry bags are really popular for small dogs and puppies available to buy in-store or by DM only at the moment x

It’s that dreaded time of year again for small businesses when the mention of BLACK FRIDAY sends us all into a cold sweat! Sorry but we just can’t compete with the big companies who spend all year planning for Black Friday with their fake offers and Google ads and influencers…. We just have to keep our fingers crossed and hope people will support us during this time. If you’re a sustainable shopper, if you shop local, if you love handmade, if you love quality and if you’re interested in the people who actually make the products then I know you’ll be here for us so please spread the word and encourage your friends and family to do the same x Credit to @scruffy_dogs for the rainbow wrist warmers x #colourfriday #shopsmall #supportsmallbusiness #madeingreatbritain #handmade
