Puget SoundMonthly Marketing Update- February 2025
We are in a flurry firing on the next edition of the Retirement Connection Guide for Puget Sound. Becky from our team has started calling the senior living and care providers to confirm their grid listings and update any changes. Meghan has sent out all of the ad
approvals and we are busy making edits. We have less than 2 weeks to reserve ad space if you know anyone who would like to be included. Retirement Connection is the only comprehensive resource guide for Snohomish, King, and Pierce counties and is used by hospitals, physicians, the Alzheimer’s Association, DHS offices, and numerous other referral sources. Since we only print once a year- you don’t want to miss out.
At our Portland Release Party last week, I heard great feedback that I wanted to share from one of our attendees… “I use the guide every day for my clients and refer to others in the guide often. Although I had a good ROI from advertising, I would still advertise because our community needs this resource and it helps me do my job and help others.” If you feel the same way, please help
the guide continue to grow by advertising, sharing the guide with others, posting your events, or attending our networking events. We are more than just a print guide, in addition to our community networking, our 2 websites CareAvailability.com and RetirementConnection.com have great online traffic and are great tools to increase your online exposure.
Speaking of networking events: save 2 important dates (details below)...

"It doesn't happen all at once, " said the Skin Horse. "You become.
It takes a long time. That's why it doesn't happen often to people who break easily, or have sharp edges, or who have to be carefully kept. Generally, by the time you are Real, most of your hair has been loved off, and your eyes drop out and you get loose in your joints and very shabby. But these things don't matter at all, because once you are Real you can't be ugly, except to people who don't understand." ~ Velveteen Rabbit
This is one of my favorite quotes of all time and was one of the readings at my wedding. I love the idea that to be "real" it takes much time and you have been worn out. The word "real" can mean so many different things when you take it out of the context of stuffed animals and into our daily lives. Sometimes real can also be messy, but the authenticity is worth it.
