Community Outreach: How to Get Free, Positive Publicity
• Front page article in the newspaper
• Story on the evening news
• Calls coming into your funeral home months and years after an event
All of this is possible by planning the right event, getting media to cover it and utilizing the power of SEO to keep it going. Best of all, all of this can be done for little to no cost.
Is your funeral home taking advantage of all the benefits community outreach programs can provide? Do you know how to select an event starting with the end point in mind? How do you build relationships with other organizations, create relationships with the media and build a database for future marketing?
