Portland/Vancouver
Monthly Marketing Update- October 2024

We have had a busy few weeks with several statewide conferences for Case Managers and Adult Family Home Care owners. Both the Retirement Connection Guide and CareAvailability.com continue to grow in our reach and web traffic and we are so very grateful.

Tomorrow we are hosting a Sponsor Only Breakfast at The Watermark at the Pearl at 8:30 am. We are expecting about 70 people, judging from the RSVPs. Our full team is excited to create opportunities for connection and referrals.

Don’t forget to join us tomorrow at 11:30 on Zoom for the Transitions of Care bi-monthly Zoom to discuss smoother transitions to/from the hospitals.

Nugget Of Knowledge
"If you don't ask, you don't get." - Krista Davis Tonn

In the past month, we have asked for donations for non-profits, asked for volunteers at local events,  asked you to “like" our social media pages, and more. Sometimes it feels awkward and uncomfortable to ask others to participate in tasks important to us. If it is important to you, it may also be important to others. When we ask for support, we let others know more about our values. My best friend Krista, who passed away in 2018, taught me that there is no harm in asking others to join in and it greatly increases engagement.
