Greater Portland/Vancouver Monthly Marketing Update - November 2018
Last week we had a guest speaker for our staff meeting. There were many many great takeaways- but my favorite was "What if the things that happened TO us, actually happened FOR us?" At times we have all wondered why me. What if we saw each stumble as an opportunity to learn, become stronger, find another route, or see support from an unlikely source? I am not the person I have become in spite of
circumstances, I am this person because of them. A great example at work is when I think of competition-this can be a great opportunity to look for innovation. Without competition, we may rest on our laurels and not push ourselves to be greater. Competition can be a gift.
Our team is prepping for the next edition for Portland/Vancouver. The homecare and Housing grid emails have been sent and we are calling those that have not replied. The ads have all been sent to our sponsors for their approvals. Retirement Connection is the ONLY comprehensive local resource in our area. If you are marketing to seniors and their families, please make sure you are
included and your listing is accurate, how else do you consistently stay in front of 75,000 families and providers?
We cannot wait to release the 2019 guide, and we are planning the celebration- mark your calendars for the Release Party on January 24th (we had over 400 guests last year). We are never too busy to be a resource for you. Let me know if we can help you post an event, deliver guides, or just be a sounding board.

Additional Resources
There are so many resources included in Retirement Connection, that often a few may slip past you and may not be noticed. Did you know that the guide also includes:
"Things turn out best for people who make the best of the way things turn out." – John
Wooden
I have never believed that everything happens for a reason, but I very much believe that you can find a reason for everything that happens. I know it is a subtle difference. We may experience hardship and other moments of extreme joy. The tough times can teach us how resilient we can be, and bring support from others we never would have reached out to. It is easier to find the good when you look for it.
