31 in 31 #18 deepening relationships


31 in 31 - #18 Deepening the dog park relationships

Last night I met with the Board of Directors of a dog park just getting going in a nearby town. I had helped them with a fundraiser last spring by giving dog massages in a fair type situation. They are a well organized group with a good following and a nice website. My intent was to get to know them a little better, see what their needs are and also have them publicize my courses to their members. As it turned out, they are having another fundraiser in a few weeks but I am booked. However, I asked if they would like me to offer a “free massage” as a raffle type prize and I was happy to do so. I also told them that I would participate in their big fundraiser in the spring. They happily and unanimously agreed to send out my course information to their group. I also introduced my new business of ForEverCare for Pets as well as Mediation for Pet issues. This was totally new to them so it will take several; times for them to truly get the idea. It helps me in my planning of what type of information they will need and how to simplify it for their members. I am currently working on the ForEverCare website which will be completed soon and we will be off and running. One similarity between mediation and dog massage is that it is important to build a market for each of them. I think that they can support each other since both ventures focus on helping animals and their owners. Also on a deeper level, both ventures focus on wellness, transitions and transformations.
