Did you know that 95% of decision-making is unconscious? Families may feel overwhelmed and inadequate when they aren’t prepared for what’s ahead of them, so what can funeral professionals do to help clients through this difficult time?

We will go through five truths about emotional decisions, how they impact funeral home marketing, and actions that we can take to provide value while becoming a resource through all the confusion and stress.

Monthly Marketing Tip

We are starting a new initiative this year that we’re calling the 12 Months of Marketing. Each month, we will feature a member benefit OGR offers that is free and/or easy for you to implement into your marketing strategy. We know your time is valuable and most of our members are left spending most of their time working in the business and not on the business. These tools will help you make the most of the time you have to promote your funeral home, no matter the size.

We’re kicking things off with a quick and easy option: the OGR Member logo. This is available to all members in good standing. We encourage you to add it to your website, as well as email signatures and any marketing materials you wish. We have multiple versions of the logo, so it can work in any format or situation you need it to. We are sending out copies of the logo this week to all our members who have renewed their membership for 2022.
