Shih Tzu Groom Shop Design

Three factors to consider in planning and opening a Shih Tzu
Groom Shop are:

1. Shop design 2. Working to achieve maximum production 3.
Business management

Shop Interior Design

How you decorate will render your Shih Tzu Groom Shop attractive
or unattractive, inviting or uninviting. Flattering in-shop
décor contributes to creating a favorable impression on your
customers. The Shih Tzu Groom Shop should be as light as
possible. Light colors should dominate the décor. Combining
pastel shades of mist blue, rosebud, candy pink and others
provides a very soft and light décor. If you are conservative
stick to a color such as antique white or sky blue. The ideal
decorative setup also includes using materials that make
frequent painting unnecessary. Wall paper is easier to maintain
and will last longer than paint. Paneled walls will last longer
than anything else. Tiled floors are most desired for easy
clean-up and disinfecting. Avoid rugs of any kind.

Exterior Décor

The exterior decoration of your Shih Tzu Groom Shop is very
important also. Try to attract attention to your Shih Tzu Groom
Shop. Beautiful paintings of Shih Tzu on either side of your
shop name are very attractive. The exterior design of your Shih
Tzu Groom Shop is the face it shows the world. Careful thought
should be given to this very important piece of your décor. Use
merchandise in the windows such as dog supplies to create a
homey-looking shop. The type of window covering you choose
should blend in with the shop’s theme décor.

Reception Room

A wall or petition separating the reception room from work areas
in the shop is a must. A beautiful and comfortable reception
room for your customers to bring their Shih Tzu or wait to pick
up is most desirable. The reception room should be the most
attractive area of the Shih Tzu Groom Shop. Furnish the area
with nice, comfortable chairs, a coffee table or long reception
table with dog magazines for your customers to look at. A
desirable and profitable piece of furniture is the accessory
display cabinet. One or two cabinets tastefully displaying a
variety of accessories is most desirable and profitable. You can
enhance the reception room with paintings or photos of dogs and
puppies you have groomed. If you show Shih Tzu, a display of
ribbons, rosettes, and trophies is most impressive. Prominently
display photographs of Shih Tzu hairstyles and clips for your
customers to get an idea of what they would like for their own
Shih Tzu. A beautiful reception room in your Shih Tzu Groom Shop
can make a most favorable impression on your customers while
enticing them to purchase your particular accessories. A price
chart displayed prominently in the reception room is essential.
This way no one can quarrel about price discrimination.

A “Dutch” door should separate your work area from the reception
room. A Dutch door is a swinging door made in two parts. The
bottom half can be locked while the top half remains open.
