4 Steps to Create a Webinar to Market your Aging Business During COVID

January 24, 2021

H

What Do you do to create a webinar that gets lots of sign-ups and sales?

Webinars are excellent Public Relations using virtual presentations that reach a really large audience to promote your agency during the pandemic. Creating a webinar during COVID is a critical marketing tool to show your excellent safety precautions, what local health department rules and supports you are following, what services you offer during the pandemic. ll of this is to show new or present users of your service why they can use your GCM services

What is the First Step to overwhelming Sign -Ups

The first step is to subscribe to a HIPPA compliant webinar platform. Besides ZOOM there are 9 others that are less expensive or have way more customers support. Go to Webinar has terrific customer support to help you. There are 12 other platforms all less expensive than ZOOM that are Hippa Compliant including Doxy and Thera-link

Nothing ELSE Matters Unless You Have The Right List of Recipients !

The second step is to create an email marketing database to invite your target audience to the webinars. Nothing else matters unless you have the right list of recipients.  You can use this for your e-newsletter. This is cheaper than mailing costs and also the most direct way to reach people both clients and target markets during the pandemic. You want to invite your present clients all your marketing third parties you want to refer clients to you, senior services in your community. the health department, local physicians, etc.

Create a Brilliant Title for Your Webinar

The third step is to pick a title for a webinar. Effective titles that bring sign-ups like this one 4 steps to market your aging business. Everyone likes a good list.  “10 Ways to Leverage Social Media to Boost Sales “is another great title because it is a list of specific and intuitive to teaching someone something. A “how-to” form indicates that there are some pieces of advice, guides, or tutorials awaiting viewers of the webinar. ” How to Set Up a Great Webinar ” is an example. There’s a pinky swear of added value behind “sign up”, which is why such webinar titles may turn out to be extremely successful. Use ” spicy adjectives that are  words that evoke strong emotions. So, use words like “amazing”, “fantastic”, “brilliant”

 

How to Create a Fantastic Description that Gets Tons of  webinar sign-ups

The fourth step is to schedule your webinar on the webinar platform you chose. Add your great title, DESCRIPTION, PANELIST, BRANDING INFO, COPY INVITATION URL, SET UP EMAILS (confirmation, reminder (3), and follow up). A great description of what gets sign-ups as well as your title. It is short summary of what you are going to cover in the webinar. Some email platforms like Zoom have this built-in. Others like Constant Contact require that you subscribe to a separate landing page like Lead Pages . 

Your webinar platform will be explaining what to add to your webinar but how a great Logo to upload for your brand and branded colors.

What Do Long Distance Care Families Need for Parent’s Sheltering in Place 4 COVID ?

August 15, 2020

 

 Long-Distance Care Providers need a safety net for themselves.

Adult Children who live at a distance from older family members need someone to cover the tasks to help their loved ones when needed.  During COVID -19 when all elders should shelter in place because they are the most vulnerable to the novel, deadly virus long-distance care providers really need help.

COVID -19 means it is best for people over 65 to have little contact with others. But not all the supplies can be ordered online. In fact with the Post office delivery slowing down, everyone who lives long distance, may wait a long time for delivery of needed items for COVID safety, especially if they live in a rural area,. These family caregivers may need someone to actually shop and pick meds at the last minute when needed food or meds do not arrive by mail. Having another person to accompany the elder on walks with a mask and safe distancing or a drive breaks up the tedium that can arise from the loneliness and isolation of sheltering in place.

 

Safety Net for Double Disasters

If there is an emergency on top of the pandemic- Long-distance care providers need someone to respond as they live far away. During this summer with double disasters like wildfires now in Colorado, hurricanes blowing up the east coast they need an emergency plan on top of the COVID threat. A surrogate must be ready to help the older loved one right away and get them out of harm’s way fast and check if it is even safe to go to a shelter.  What they need is an emergency safety net.

Call a Care Manager

If family at a distance does not have a friend or neighbor who can do this, they should consider the perfect emergency and daily safety net in a geriatric care manager. The Aging Life Care Association has an online search tool to find a professional by ZIP code. It also includes a list of questions to ask when you look to hire someone.

GCM can Provide & Supervise Caregivers’s For Covid Related Tasks

If the family caregivers chooses, the care manager will arrange for well screened aide, practicing covid saftey,  to do all the shopping, take the elder out in the neighborhood for a walk or a car ride, prepare

meals, engage in social connections, and do all the cleaning and disinfecting need daily with  the coronavirus threat . The GCM will visit aging parents on a regular basis to check on the health status of the elder in general and in relationship to Covid-19 exposure plus confer with their care providers along with texts calling and email them for supervision. Most of all they will regularly confer with with the family caregiver to get keep them up to date.

Find Help Now

The Long Distance care provider can have care providers from the care management agency care do all of these tasks, depending upon other back-up and care level of your older loved one. A care manager themselves, will directly monitor your loved one’s health, respond in emergencies like hospital admission, accompany them to a doctor and manage the care management care providers when you are not there and directly report to you. To find care managers go to the Aging Life Care Association
