Horse Blanket Repair Business Made Easy

HorseyGal here today to report what  a great day I had with my new blanket repair business.

istock_000002245764xsmallI was able to get my new blankets washed and repaired and delivered to my very happy customers.  I really wanted to impress them and to make myself available for new business.

Well this barn manager was so impressed, that she immediately referred me to a friend of hers.  It’s a really well known barn in the area, and to get that barn as a customer is huge!

So I went by there on the way home, and stopped in and introduced myself and let her know that a friend had referred me.  She was so excited to hear there was a new horse blanket lady.  It’s so fun!

So she went around and gathered all the blankets hanging on the stalls that needed repairing and we tagged them and bagged them and got them into the car.

Wow…I couldn’t believe how easy that was!  So when I got home I counted another 15 blankets!

Okay…I know this is hard to believe, but really it is that simple!  Now tomorrow my intention is to go by a couple of the feedstores in town.

Karen explains how she got the feedstores excited about her work.  So that’s what I’m going to do…take a sample of my work in and show them what I do, and drop off some fliers for them to hand out.  Maybe I can talk them into being a dropoff spot for customers.  Hmmm….

  • I have started this last month opening my business. I live in the Northwest and began my business last month. So many questions. First, I am having a difficult time finding the right material. It will be advertised as pack cloth and what I get is a plastic type stuff. Do you have a replicable outlet I can connect with.
    Thank you for the article I will go tomorrow by several barns and leave fliers.
    Sincerely,

    Karen has a good ebook that lists the suppliers she uses, and she also has a private forum where people share their resources too. I use Outdoor Wilderness fabrics that Karen recommends. Hope this helps.
