People today don’t want to feel "sold" to. Especially when they are grieving or looking for end-of-life options. And especially during a pandemic. That’s why giving people the message they want, when they want it, and where they want it is key to serving your community. And since online is the new (and sometimes only) community since the pandemic, digital connection is vitally important.

From Facebook posts and emails, to free downloadable content and hard-copy guidebooks, the modern funeral home needs to deliver useful, educational content to the community regularly and across multiple channels (social media, websites, Google Ads, traditional mail, and more).

Attendees will walk away with a valuable list of tips, topics and tactics for engaging their community, helping people better understand end-of-life decisions, as well as concrete ways to position their firm to bring people back into their business as the pandemic wanes.
The presentation will include:
• What is content and content marketing
• Why it’s essential to a modern market
• End-of-life questions no one ever asks (but needs to)
• Content ideas for community: veterans, widows/widowers, what to do after a death checklist, specific religious content, what to do with cremated remains, etc.
• Where to publish the content so people engage with it
• Ways to give people follow up information
