Madson Business Forms Illustrated in From Problems to Profits
Book
Previously readers had to buy
these forms pre-made from us, or they could use them as models
to make their own for personal use. These forms are also included on
the Business Forms CD #2. The instructions for the proper business use of each form
below is only provided in the From Problems to Profits book, and
not the User Guide provided with the Business
Forms CD. The User Guide assists
with you instructions for making and printing the forms, but not
their business use. You must have a copy of From Problems to
Profits to access those instructions. Forms highlighted in
yellow are mostly or entirely new versions of an established Madson Business Form. Please be sure to read descriptions for
details. |

Madson Client & Pet History Filecard (original 5" x 8")
Our most popular
form! Now you can print your own but if you do it on your
computer remember that your printer must handle cardstock weight
paper for best results, and we further caution you. Your
computer printer probably uses letter size paper. To end up with
5" by 8" filecards you have to do some precise paper cuts, and
you should use a paper cutter for cardstock, not scissors, for
best results. We
encourage you to have your local copy center assist you with a
copier suited to cardstock paper, and often they have a good
paper cutter. Some clients simply print the original art (front
and back side of card, 2 per page) as
provided on the disk and use clean white paper. Then, take the 2
pages to your local copy
center and let them make the forms from them. Copy centers have
paper cutters and copiers that can use cardstock paper. Also, you can avoid trimming
requirements using the letter size format below.
Finally, because
you are making these forms yourself, you can print them on blue
for boys and pink for girls if desired. The filecard has room
for 2 pets per owner, and 12 service appointments on Side B.
Each letter size sheet of paper has either 2 front's, or 2
back's, of the filecards.
See Chapter 11 for
original only.
Side A - Before making several paper cuts resulting in 2
filecards per
sheet of cardstock. No customization required. (Actual size 8.5"
by 11")
Side B - Before making several paper cuts resulting in 2
filecards per
sheet of cardstock. No customization required. (Actual size 8.5"
by 11") |

Madson Client & Pet History Filecard (Letter
Size Paper)
No more index card
size limitations. Instead of room for 12 appointments on the
standard 5" by 8" size, you have room for 40 appointments! Wow!
You can store these cards similar to medical office filing
systems. Because it's letter size you don't have to "trim" the
paper down to 5" by 8" size, just print them on heavy paper and
possibly cardstock paper if your printer uses a "pass through"
system rated for cardstock paper. You can also have your local
copy center print these on cardstock paper. Form still has room
for 2 pets per owner. You can buy protector sheets for letter
size forms through office supply stores which makes filing them
easier, similar to open shelf filing used by many medical
offices. Because you are making these yourself, you can print
them on blue for boys and pink for girls if desired.
See Chapter 11 for
original only in 5" by 8" size. Letter size not illustrated in book.
Side B - No paper cuts, use letter size. No customization
required. (Actual size 8.5" by 11")

Madson Client Response Postcard
This form has been
simplified and the text is much the same. However, all artwork
has been removed giving you room to add a small company logo or
other JPG graphic on the front side. Using letter size paper you
print on both sides, and then you must use a paper cutter to
make 2 cuts leaving you with 4 postcards per sheet of letter
size paper. We suggest you use cardstock paper, but ensure that
your computer printer is suitable for using cardstock paper. You
can have your local copy center photocopy on cardstock and they
may have a paper cutter too.
See customization notice below
in red. We suggest you use a colorful cardstock paper.
See Chapter 11 for
original only.
Side A - Before making 2 paper cuts resulting in 4 postcards per
sheet of cardstock.
Add your own graphics, and your return address info. (Actual
size 8.5" by 11")
Side B - Before making 2 paper cuts resulting in 4 postcards per

Madson Client Service
Questionnaire (original)
This
form is easy to print on a computer with printer. It is
one-sided and you don't have to use heavy paper or cardstock,
yet you may. You actually make 2 questionnaires per sheet of
letter size paper, so you will have to make one paper cut per
sheet of paper. A paper cutter makes the task easy.
See Chapter
11 for original only.

Madson Client
Service Questionnaire (eCommerce Version)
The "eCommerce" version is
almost the same of the original questionnaire (see above) but it
has additional questions:
"Would you like appointment reminders and/or confirmations by
mobile text message Y/N" then followed by,
"If not, how about email?" Y/N
A growing number of pet owners are using Smartphones and email
but if you are unsure how they would feel about your contacting
them using these methods, take a survey with this questionnaire.
See Chapter
11 for original
Not illustrated here because it is almost identical to
alternate version shown above except there are additional
ecommerce questions. No customization required. (Actual size

printed on the outside of a 9 X 12 envelope. Instead you can
easily print the from on 2 sheets of single-sided letter size,

Madson Pet Care Services
Brochure
Generally the information
printed on this form is the same as in From Problems to Profits
book, however, it requires a great deal of customization by you
or someone skilled with word processing. All of the artwork you
see on this form as illustrated in From Problems to Profits has
been removed. You can use your word processor program to change
any text you desire, and to add artwork, such as your company
logo, photos of your business or pets, maps to your location and
more. You can use white or pastel letter size paper to print
this form on your computer printer and then tri-fold it. When
editing add your company name, address, telephone, email and web
site address on the front panel. There is so much you can do but
you must have the experience of customizing Word documents using
Microsoft Word or compatible. See customization notice below in
red.
See Chapter 11 for
original only.
Side A - This forms requires substantial customization,
but that also means you can add many pieces of info or graphics
that you desire. Plenty of room for maps, photos, logos and
other service information. No cuts required. Print 2 sided and
then tri-fold. We suggest you use a pastel paper. (Actual size
8.5" by 11")
Side B - This side doesn't require customization, yet you
can edit the text to best describe your services. For example,
you can change the name of the Preferred Client Program (see

New size! Now 33%
larger giving you more room to write notes.
Next to the Client and Pet
History Filecard this form is immensely popular as it should be
with our clients. We distributed more than 400,000 copies in our
business over 25 years. It's the most professional "report" card
out there, and now you customize it further. Once you customize
your form you can print it double-sided on regular letter size
paper (white or pastel). After printing make one cut with a
paper cutter, and you have 2 forms for every sheet of regular
letter size paper. Economical. Please note that we removed all
artwork from this form as illustrated in From Problems to

a logo or similar graphic file. If you don't know how to do that
please consult your local printer or desktop publisher.
See Chapter 13 for

Madson Time-in Time-Out
Appointment System™
Pages
We strongly support grooming
software for all grooming business.
Click here for
software
suggestions. Some groomers prefer
manual
appointment books. For this reason we are releasing for the first time the
Madson Time-in Time-Out Appointment System pages on CD #2.
You can print the pages of your choice and create your own
manual appointment book. There is a style for a mobile grooming
business, and options for 1 groomer businesses, or larger
operations with more than 1 groomer.
Instructions for their use is in the User Guide. You will need
to print copies on regular letter size paper, and then 3 hole punch
the copies and store them in a 3 ring binder. You can customize all of them with Microsoft
Word or compatible program. All pages include spaces for you to
handwrite date and day of week. No pages are dated
automatically, you must handwrite in dates.
In a nutshell, "Time-in Time-Out"
best organizes any operation. There's never a question in small
or large businesses which pet is most likely the one that should
be groomed next. The prime candidate is the pet with the
earliest "Time Out" that has not yet been groomed. This system
becomes all the more valuable as you grow a business. It's also
a brilliant way in the Expert Level of the system to assign pet
owners their required arrival times based on their assigned time out
shown on the appointment book.

to 3 Groomers Daily View
Expert Level Time-in Time-Out System
An easy form for a shop with 1 to 3 groomers. However the
version is this from is entirely based on the full concept of
time-in and time-out. At a glance you can see (and you can
customize) how many openings you have for pets whose time out
will be 3 pm, and it also tells you at a glance if a pet is
going to be ready at 3 pm it must arrive with its owner by 11
am. Another example, if a pet's time out is noon, and there is a
space available, you can take the appointment, and at a glance
it says any pet going out by noon must arrive by 8 am. SO EASY.
You can customize the pre-written hours for both Time-in and
Time-out to suit your operation. More instructions are provided
for this advanced timing system in the user guide. Room for up
to 28 pet owner names per day per sheet. There is a column for #GR
& #BO too for each appointment. Use that column to note how many
pets each pet owner is scheduling, and whether they are
"complete grooming" or "bath-only."
Receptionists love this system.
It's so easy to train them how to take appointments. You can
customize both the time-in and time-out settings before you
print the appointment books pages. BRILLIANT! This system works
best with business with 15 or more appointments daily. Other
recorded information includes pet owner name, telephone,
complete grooming or bath-only, pet name(s) and notes.
The left column, Time-In, and the right column, Time-Out
can be customized to meet your hours of operation before you
print copies. Use one sheet per workday. (Actual size 8.5" by
