My salon has only been open a few months - this week I’ve gotten two service requests through Bark, which I think I’d only vaguely heard of before and had to google and double check what it was. I’m not on the site or involved with it in any way. It’s not a request from a customer directly, it’s some sort of Bark employee ‘reaching out on their behalf’. Which seems weird to me. The scant info (that isn’t particularly useful for grooming, really) that is filled out in the Bark form, combined with using this kind of service to find a dog groomer, gives me a weird vibe like they’re going to be a problem client and aren’t worth contacting. They could’ve super easily googled ‘dog grooming near x’ or just ‘dog grooming’ and my salon would’ve come up if they’re anywhere nearby. Does anyone else get this? Do you bother contacting them?
