AWFDConnections Podcast: Enlightenment Marketing
Our first podcast “stars” yours truly; without my intended guest. I spend about 12 minutes of time discussing what I like to call enlightenment marketing – the strategy where you step outside your funeral home, and into the wider world. Your goal is education, open-dialog, and heart-felt communication. It’s relationship-building; it’s the woman’s way.

The next AWFDConnections member-only podcast will be uploaded in April. It will feature either Kristan McNames, focusing on start-up funeral homes, or Lacy Robinson Druen, on generational firms, and the issues faced when family members of differing generations come together under the same roof, in the name of caring for others.
If you have any comments on this first podcast, please feel free to send them to me at: kim@wfdconnect.com. Please realize this is a first effort, and I will improve as speaker and host as time goes on!

Free Website Critique: $125.00 Value
I’m delighted to say that many members have asked me to help them with their firm’s Web site. As you know, I’ve written Web copy for over 325 funeral homes around the country and in Canada; I’ve learned in the past few years what makes a good site…through trial, error, and testing. I’ve enjoyed helping those members change their sites for the better – and it doesn’t have to cost a lot! Normally, I charge clients $125 to review their current site, and make recommendations, but as an AWFD member, I’ll do it for you for nothing. That’s right.Gratis. I can even advise you on whom to get to create a new Web presence for your firm. Sounds good?
