What is Best PR To Reach Adult Children of Aging Parents ?

November 12, 2019

 

Position Your Business Over Your Competition

Reaching adult children who will pile in over the holidays can position you over your competition. A Speaker’s Bureau mixed with great social media and a newsletter can be the tantalizing hook to get your phone to ring off the hook when adult kids discover the parent who is falling, forgetting and foundering over the holidays.

Speaker’s Bureau Topics For Adult Children After Holidays

My excellent expert marketing colleague Natasha Beauchamp https://elderpagesonline.com/about-us/ has superb ideas on speaker’s bureau topics to draw the interest of adult children.images_20141216-184443_1.jpg

Provide enough information to demonstrate your expertise, but, not enough detail that you are giving away the store.  One way to get an insight into what adult kids are interested in is to look at the top eldercare-related searches on Google. These were compiled by the Pew Internet Project:

  • Dementia and memory loss  stock-photo-16832488-tense-couple-in-therapy-session.jpg
  • Long-term care options
  • Paying for care
  • Handling the stress of caregiving

Think about the pain points of family caregivers to get your phone ringing. 

Over the holidays so many adult children find themselves in pain seeing their declining parents. They fear caring for them, the burden they can, cannot or reject taking on and how they navigate through this.

Answer that pain with a Speaker’s bureau

Presentations  could be according to Natasha:

  • 10 warning signs your parent may need helpimages_20130906-154817_1.jpg
  • Is it Alzheimer’s?
  • Should Dad still be driving
  • What To Do When Parent’s Reject Care
