The benefits of having pets are numerous according to healthcare and support experts and medical professionals. Pets bring all sorts of healthy advantages to us, some of them surprising. The healing benefit of pets is no surprise to hospitals across the nation, where pets regularly visit patients. In hospitals with pet-patrols, you’ll find dogs of all breeds wearing name tags, strolling along hospital corridors and even laying in patient’s beds. Sometime the dog’s handler will have them sit in chairs next to patients too. Pets leave a trail of smiles behind them. The effects of pets on our health have been tracked for 25 years; reporting confirms that living with pets is a benefit in many ways.
Pets can reduce depression. Studies show that having, loving, and caring for a pet reduced depression by up to 50% over those who don’t have, love, or care for a pet. The same studies showed that stress is reduced when a loving pet is in the household. Reports have indicated that the use of mood-altering drugs can be reduced when a pet is loved and a steady companion to those who are depressed or stressed.
Walking is good for us; increases those good chemicals and give us a boost. We walk more when we have dogs. Pets increase our enjoyment and relax us. When we relax, our body’s natural feel-good chemicals rise; playing around with a pet can boost those natural chemicals. It could be the exercise more than the pet, but too many other benefits are tied to having a pet to doubt research.
A study based on watching post-heart attack males, revealed that males who had pets had lower triglycerides and cholesterol levels than those who did not have a pet. Investigators found this evidence significant in verifying that indeed, pets reduce those negative heart factors.
A pet is the perfect conversation-opener according to lots of folks whose pets led them to meeting their spouse. Pets are also a great assistance for people who are shy. Countless shy pet-owners have hooked up with their future husband or wife because of walking their dog. Occasionally called marriage-magnets, pets are practically like babies when it comes to attracting members of the opposite sex; people just can’t resist them.
Studies show that pets add immense love and benefits to an aging person’s life. Pets, especially those like cats that need little care are ideal for the elderly. Often elderly people are alone and a pet brings companionship and a sense of being needed.

If mobile marketing isn’t part of your arsenal yet, then you should give some serious consideration to incorporating the new technology. Texting reaches people and has proven to work very well for getting your offer to potential customers. Text messages are not seen as being intrusive like phone calls, and most people will read them as soon as they are received, which makes them a marketers dream.
Before you can use texting to reach customers, you will have to obtain their mobile numbers, but that is actually much easier than you might think. Because people tend to be open to receiving texts, and everyone loves a bargain, they will give you their number for a minimal offer of reward. It is not difficult to get text numbers for at least a quarter of your customers, and with a little effort you can build up a list to include as many potential buyers as you wish.
Once you have the numbers on the list, you need to make an attractive offer and send it out during the times your business is normally slow. Weekdays (especially Monday through Wednesday) tend to be slow days in many markets, and are especially so for restaurants and entertainment venues. So what should you offer? A free item such as an appetizer or dessert is common for restaurants. What is a small upsell item in your industry that you could offer to get people in the door?
Research is key in marketing and many marketers have found that sending out up to two offers per week will yield the best results. Because people are so responsive to text messages, you may find that 10 to 20% will take you up your offer, which is a very high return for such little effort. That is why it is key for your marketing campaign to include this technique.
