SMVI Social Media Ventures Inc (CE)

Social Media Ventures, Inc. (PINKSHEETS: SMVI) is pleased to announce the company has experienced growth in the number of pet owners utilizing its pet discount drug card at www.PetsPlacesCard.com, during the past six months.

A number of prescription drugs are specifically designed for pets. Many pet owners in the United States are unaware that many of the drugs that are prescribed by veterinarians are the same "human" drugs used by people, just prescribed with different doses. Most pet owners can use their local pharmacy to have their veterinarian prescriptions filled for their pets. PetsPlaces' free discount pet drug card (www.PetsPlacesCard.com) enables pet owners to receive discounts on prescription drugs on average from 15 to 55 percent. Medications include antibiotics (Amoxcicillin, Azithromycin, and Clindamycin), hyperthyroid drugs (Methimazole), pain relievers, antidepressants (Mirtazapine, Prozac), anti-glaucoma agents (Dorzolamide), and drugs to treat diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and other conditions. PetsPlacesCard.com can be instantly printed from the web and are accepted at more than 75 percent of pharmacies nationwide.

According to the American Pet Products Manufacturers Association, spending on pets in the U.S. increased by 5.3% and reached $45.5 billion in 2009, and the pet medication market that PetsPlacesCard.com participates in is estimated to be approximately $3.7 billion. For this year, Social Media Ventures will focus on conversion optimization through its recently announced marketing strategy that includes advertising for PetsPlacesCard.com as well as its pet themed social networking site; www.PetsPlacesCard.com.
