Don’t Build Your Pet Care Business on Borrowed Land: How to Use Email to Protect and Grow Your Client Base

Tue, Aug 18 • 3:00pm - 4:00pm EDT
Social media is borrowed land. Your account can be restricted, your reach can vanish and your posts can quietly stop being shown, no matter how much time and effort you put in. Your email list is one of the few things you actually own. In this practical session, Morag Willcox, co‑founder of Canadian Pet Care Professionals and long‑time pet care business owner, will show you not just why an email list matters, but how to actually use it to stay connected with clients and grow your business in a calm, sustainable way.
