You don’t have to live in the hurricane belt to be prepared for extreme emergency scenarios and have a plan in place to overcome them. Disasters come in many forms – natural and man-made – and can strike with little or no notice to you and your residents.
Tornadoes, freezing rain, power grid outages, wildfires, flash floods and trucks overturning with toxic chemicals are just a few of the many disaster events that can affect wide geographic areas and their senior living providers.
Digital (online) marketing is evolving and growing in importance every day. It has become a major force in business-to-consumer strategy and is now outpacing more traditional marketing approaches in performance and results.

One of the most important yet underappreciated elements of the senior living sales process is the identification of the original source of a lead.
