Grooming Trailer Revolution

April 15, 2008

Just two short years ago, GT began the mobile grooming revolution by introducing a professional-grade grooming trailer. Sure, there were lots of grooming trailer companies out there, but NOBODY had figured out how to build an efficient-scale salon that was built for the groomer who has a keen business sense. Still today, nobody Read the rest of this entry »

Grooming Trailer Financing: BEWARE!

April 10, 2008

Grooming Trailer financing SCAMS are everywhere!

It’s true, finding financing for trailers is more difficult than for vans. Therefore, some grooming trailer conversion companies are quick to refer shoppers to just about anything that resembles a real finance company.

Some companies will refer you to a site where you can actually apply on-line–DON’T DO IT!

NEVER, NEVER enter your Read the rest of this entry »

Mobile Grooming Tubs

April 3, 2008

Bad_caulk.jpgThere are about 16 different grooming trailer conversion companies; only a couple build their tubs correctly.

A VERY COMMON practice that low quality grooming trailer companies do is try to convince the public that they ARE quality by advertising a “stainless steel” tub–BE CAREFUL.

LOOK CAREFULLY at the above closeup of a competitor’s $30,000 grooming trailer’s tub. Yes, it IS stainless steel, but look at how it is Read the rest of this entry »

New GT Grooming Trailer Features

April 2, 2008

New features are included with EVERY GT Grooming Trailer!

Notice the steel faucet in the tub! All GT plumbing is hard-plumbed and of the highest quality. Also, notice the “dotted panel” on the right side of the bathing center. This allows warm air to pass through to the mechanical compartment so there is no Read the rest of this entry »

As our readers know, we really pride ourselves on having the smartest customers in the mobile grooming industry. Here’s more proof!

“Hello,
My name is Ashley L__ and I have recently decided to start my mobile grooming business. I have been researching options and have come to the conclusion that the GT Trailer is for me.

Thanks Ashley! We take no Read the rest of this entry »

GT Keeps Breaking The RULES!

March 12, 2008

GT is different, we provide HONEST information about the mobile grooming industry! Here’s a typical email we receive:

“Hi, my name is Jillian and I am a pet groomer of 5 years. I am interested in starting my own mobile grooming business…. I just wanted to send you an e-mail with my appreciation for the plethora of informative data on your website. You have helped me significantly in my quest to start my own business… I truly appreciate you sharing your personal experiences and knowledge in this field. Thank you so much! …Once I have completed my business course, I will be contacting you to have a trailer built. I love your trailers, I want the champagne exterior with black floors.”

Jillian, THANK YOU! We really do try to help those who are honestly searching for good information. We “say it like it is.”

In other words, GT IS DIFFERENT! Here’s another way GT is breaking the rules: “They” say to never Read the rest of this entry »

Business School: #6. THINK Like a Businessperson

February 4, 2008

Businesspeople READ, hobbyists look for PICTURES. So you decide…

The best way to make sure you go out of business as a mobile pet groomer is to FOLLOW THE CROWD. Instead, here’s an idea, make smart business decisions!

The single most common BAD decision mobile groomers make is the salon they purchase. Let me rephrase that, it’s the salon they finance, stay up-side-down with, go out of business with, and can’t sell. Read the rest of this entry »

FLOOR SPACE : More GT Efficiency

January 30, 2008

The GT Grooming Trailer is STILL in a class by itself. Our standard 5 by 8 foot model has 5 feet of floorspace between the bathing center and the front storage.

A competitor’s 6 by 12 foot model (TWICE the size of a GT) only has 6 feet of space between the bathing center and the front cabinets.

In other words, they had to almost DOUBLE the size of trailer to gain only 1 extra foot of workspace! Read the rest of this entry »

Apples and Oranges

December 28, 2007

GT is in a class by itself. Yes, we encourage entrepreneurs to shop for a mobile grooming trailer that best suits their needs, but the GT is built like no other.

The picture on the left is my own motorcycle (I’m Patrick, not Kim). It’s a lot of fun, purpose built, and reliable. The motorcycle on the right reminds me of how some other mobile grooming trailers are built.

I spent some time today browsing our “competition’s” websites and a theme seemed to have appeared: The use of BARE WOOD in their construction. GT goes further than everyone else in this industry to Read the rest of this entry »

Grooming Van and Trailer GENERATORS

November 11, 2007

Mobile grooming generators can be a confusing topic for some groomers. That’s because a lot is discussed on popular Internet social sites but real information is rarely brought up. For example, a prudent consumer conducting research has recently asked for opinions concerning the generator that GT uses and the following responses had little to do with the question–mostly fragmented thoughts about a different brand.

Therefore, here are some thoughts to consider about generators: Read the rest of this entry »

GT Makes It Look Easy!

September 25, 2007

GT Grooming Trailers makes it look easy! We think it’s now 5 companies that have tried to clone the 5′ x 8′ GT Grooming trailer. It’s really not that difficult if one chooses NOT to cut corners. Some have gone out of business, some are still trying. Read the rest of this entry »
