31 in 31 Making friends - a larger view

“Making friends” (Cont) – the larger picture

If you have followed my last four blogs, you know that I have connected with shelters, doggy day cares, vets and dog parks. In one way or another I have supported their goals with dog massage and they are very appreciative and wish to return the favor. From my perspective I now have friends connected to literally thousands of dog owners in my area who would be happy to send their dog owners information I give them. Three of these groups have already offered me space (for free) to teach classes to dog owners. I appreciate the offer and will give them a percentage of what I get. I have already taught five classes (4 sessions each) and I am offering three classes this fall. The information will sent out by all my new friends and I am hoping to fill the classes and possibly set up additional classes in the late fall. In addition, I am starting a new business called ForEverCare for Pets which specifically addresses the issues raised when an owner can no longer take care of their pet due to disability, sickness or impending death. We will be offering a complete service from initial consultation, to finding caretakers to writing pet trusts. I have checked with my new friends and they think it is a terrific service and will be happy to send information to their clients when we ask. So, in order words, I have set up a marketing / distribution center going directly to pet owners who may wish the services we are offering. I will give more information on ForEverCare in future blogs.
