Monthly Marketing Update
- October 2020

It’s October? What? How?
Case Management week is October 11th. Our team is very excited to have been able to coordinate with so many providers in the community this month, to support hospital case mangers. We are working with 135+ providers to deliver gift bags to more than 1400 case managers at 40 different hospitals. During COVID we have had to reschedule so many face to face opportunities and it forced our team to be more creative on how to better serve our sponsors and the referral sources we work with. Case Management Week is one example of how we have “found a way” to bring our community resources together. In additional to the gift bags, our team also facilitated and scheduled 40 different hospital lunches/breakfasts to serve almost 1200 case managers meals at participating hospitals. It is amazing what we are able to accomplish when we all work together to serve our communities.

Retirement Connection is more than a print guide. We email you this newsletter each month to keep you up to date; post community events, coordinate resource fairs; facilitate introductions; post when there are job changes amoung providers; now we also post real time availablity online; and so much more. As you plan your 2021 budgets, I hope you see the value we bring and want to support Retirement Connecton in your community.

Last week's analytics show:

  • 4,421 Site visitors (19.68% increase)
  • 1,964 New visitors (18.57% increase)
  • The average time on the site increased by 49.38% to 5.46 minutes.
  • Bounce rate decreased by 2.17% to industry best standard of 24%
  • 27,857 pages viewed! (34.65% increase)
  • Organic search traffic increased by 32.71%
  • Traffic from social campaigns grew by 312.50

We are pleased to see increased site visits and new users progressing quickly, while spending substantial time searching or updating availability.

Testimonial: My staff and I love the site and use it daily for our patients. The site is easy to update and is free to providers to be listed and to update. I'd like to ask that all providers utilize CareAvailability.com to update your availability. Samaritan Hospitals utilize this tool more than ever during this time. We direct our patients and families to view this site and expect accuracy. This cannot be used properly when it’s not being updated. I must press the issue that your company may be losing referrals if it is not up to date, as we are directing our team to reach out to those showing availability updated within the last 24 hours.

- Candy Sawyer, Regional Manager-IP Case Management

Nuggets of Knowledge

 

"A rising tide lifts all boats.” -John F Kennedy

This quote was shared with me after our last sponsor breakfast call, and I think it really speaks to our efforts surrounding case management week, managing COVID updates online, and postings about Fire resources this past month. When we all work together- every one of us benefits. Not every provider is able to be a sponsor in our Retirement Connection Guide, but everyone of us has an opportunity to be a resource.
