It has been a very exciting start to year two for, Sam Heggie, our Thame franchisee with client bookings for July, August, and September 2024, seeing a big increase.
Sam Heggie, who launched on July 16th, 2023, visited 14 clients in her first month of trading, compared to 316 client visits this July. August has also performed extremely well with client visits more than doubling compared to last year.
Sam said: “It’s a testament to the sheer amount of hard work my team and I have put in since launching The Cat Butler Thame that we’re seeing such incredible results,” explained Sam. “It was literally non-stop during the summer – August alone saw us visiting over 600 clients, and we’re already close to being fully booked for the festive season.”
Choosing to work with local media in her franchise area, Sam has ensured widespread promotion and advertising of her business across key locations: “Many clients have feedback saying they have seen The Cat Butler in their local newsletter or magazine so for the initial investment, the return on it has gone way above my expectations.”
Speaking about plans for the rest of the year and into 2025, Sam said: “We’ll be looking to strengthen awareness of The Cat Butler Thame in some of the areas that may not know much about us yet through on-the-ground activities like leaflet flyering, networking, and PR. Of course, word-of-mouth works wonders, so we’re hugely thankful to all our clients who so kindly help to spread the word on our behalf – great reviews are always welcome too!”
She added: “I’m hoping to recruit more team members in the very near future, so if you, or anyone you know, would be interested in taking on a Cat Butler role in Oxfordshire and Buckinghamshire, please do get in touch by visiting our website Vacancies page.
