A Speakers Bureau -Great PR to Reach Adult Children

A speakers bureau is among the best PR to reach adult children. Reaching adult children through a Speakers Bureau 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.

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.

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
Long-term care options
Paying for care
Handling the stress of caregiving

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

So many adult children find themselves in pain seeing their declining parents. Their aging parents fear caring for them, fear being a burden, and reject talking about how they navigate through this.

Answer that pain with a Speaker’s bureau

Presentations could be according to Natasha:

What is Best Care Management Marketing Copy for Upper 10%

February 17, 2020

What is Secret Sauce To Marketing to rich and famous’?

As you market to the top 10% of elders and really to their adult children, here is some marketing copy from a story in the New York Times. When you do an intake you have to find ” where is the pain” for the adult child. So use these care manager pain relievers as marketing copy showing how as a geriatric care manager offers soothing relief from aging parent pain.

Breaking Barriers

Aging life care managers negotiate barriers for adult children. Geriatric care managers are like personal chefs, personal shoppers, and concierge physicians. You serve the top 10% of adult children who buy privacy, exclusivity, time, human contact and a navigator to negotiate barriers for them.

Purchasing your services, offer adult children caregivers, privacy and exclusivity simultaneously just like the New Yorkers in this NYT article.

Buying Privacy

As this Times article states,” in the age of social media that privacy has become a rare commodity”. By purchasing at-home services for their parents, “they are buying private, exclusive services that offer a much-needed product- parent – care.

The upper 10% of your market demands a one to one personal physician, chef, shopper or care manager because they recognize their status by delivering gold standard care. As a one to one service, you find personal chefs, drivers concierge physicians. They can pay for these services to buy that recognition

Buying Navigation to Parent Care

As aging life or geriatric care managers, you are a private concierge to navigate the adult child to the best services for aging parents. Just like the New Yorkers in this article, adult children have to negotiate everything, their kids’ schools and college, problems, their jobs, their budget, their clothes for the high powered job, their work, their commute, on top of their aging parent’s crises.

Use Upscale Continuum of Care Local Resources

The upper 10% of affluent New Yorkers, like most Concierge clients, want everything done for them, including the most painful part (besides teenagers-) help with their aging Mom or/Dad. This is where you come to the rescue. You offer a human service they buy in their busy, hectic life. You negotiate everything to help their aging loved ones.

Care Managers break the barriers through confusing aging services in the city, state and nationally-to get their parents the best care. You, the concierge, take over the top major, the painful obligation in their life– negotiate for Mom or Dad’s aging P

Buying Human Contact

Adult kids buy human contact. The professional relationship a care manager has with an adult child is emotionally caring just like a concierge physician. It bridges personal chefs and shoppers because you assess their problems (like a Dr. does tests) and find out intimate relationships, facts, and secrets. In a world where bedside manner is gone, a concierge physician gives that human contact. In a world where the family no longer lives next door and supports each other, geriatric care managers give that human contact and support that is gone in most working families living long- distance from their clan.

Marketing Copy for You

These are all sales points to use when you do an inquiry with an adult child or sales presentation with a third party: privacy, exclusivity, time, human contact and a navigator to negotiate barriers for adult children.
