Southern Oregon Monthly Marketing Update - July 2020
Just when I thought I may be able to be out and about more freely, it seems that we may be living with the “new normal” of COVID for longer than expected. We have passed the 100 days now, and I am definitely feeling it. Quarantine has given me some time to evaluate my priorities, my schedule, and some relationships much more than I anticipated. I am choosing to see this as a positive side effect to really focus on what matters most in those areas. We are all very very busy people, but these past
three months have given me insight into what is “necessary” and what may be “lacking”- both in my personal life, as well as professional. My biggest take away... if it is important, it is possible to find time; but I need to make time for things that are important to me.
My initial enthusiasm for ZOOM meetings has greatly diminished over time, it seems to be a necessary evil; however, I try to remain as engaged as possible- even when muted! It has been a great opportunity to work on my receptive body language!
CareAvailability.com went live two weeks ago, and the positive support has been overwhelming. We are still working through some bugs every day; but I appreciate all the screen captures, questions, and feedback we continue to receive. All of this is making the site better. It will probably take us another 2 weeks to complete all the “fixes” and then we are moving forward with additional features, such as videos for families, the
ability to text/email search results to families, and other tools. Please encourage all the housing, home care, home health, and hospice providers that you work with- to update their availability DAILY. Those that have availability and report most recently will show at the top of the search results.
The early bird 10% discount ended last week. If you you have plans to include Retirement Connection in your 2021- we want to make sure you were able to secure the extra savings!. Our sponsors not only get the print exposure, but now you also get all the added benefits of CareAvailability.com included. This is the best value for your money to reach seniors, families, and other providers/referral sources. If you know someone that would benefit from the very targeted marketing we provide with web, print and networking- please help us with an introduction.

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:
On our team, If you say it.. you are
doing it. This doesn’t mean that I don’t occasionally overcommit, or run late- but I will always follow through. Our word represents our integrity and that is the most important value for our team, everything else is secondary. We committed to having the new CareAvailability.com site live by mid June. It is live. It has some flaws we are working through- but it is live! I am proud that the website that we released has more features and customization than we initially planned, but even more features coming in August.
