Bill A Johnston July 2024 Webinar

How to be Known, Trusted and Celebrated on Facebook

Register now for Tuesday, July 30, 2024 at 2pm ET webinar.

This workshop reveals how to be known using faces on Facebook, trusted with “word of mouth” advertising from user engagements and posting obituaries, and celebrated by Facebook users who have been served at their funeral home.

Over the years working with funeral homes and after publishing tens of thousands of posts on Facebook and Instagram, the leading insight we can share is simply this: Facebook Users Love Their Funeral Homes. We see the outpouring of love and gratitude towards them all the time, yet most funeral professionals are unaware of this inspirational truth. It’s almost a secret!

What this tells us is “Faces on Facebook” works. By posting images of funeral directors, assistants, office administrators, owners, managers, even comfort dogs, funeral homes and their staff will be known, trusted, and celebrated on Facebook.

How To Be Known, Trusted and Celebrated on Facebook: Tuesday, July 30, 2024 at 2pm ET

Participants can receive 1 CE credit upon completion by submitting required information to their local state board.

Continuing Education credits approved by the following states: Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, North Carolina, New Jersey, Ohio, Tennessee and Texas; and all states that accept certified CE providers of the American Academy of Funeral Service Practice, which includes attendees from Oklahoma. Additional state approvals coming soon.

Bill A Johnston August 2024 Webinar

Busting the Myths of Local Advertising for Funeral Homes

Register for the webinar on August 27, 2024 at 2pm ET.

How to Invest Your Dollars Wisely for Increased Sales

Napoleon Hill, author of “Think and Grow Rich” is quoted as saying, “Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve.” But the truth is, many funeral homes can’t conceive advertising because they don’t believe it works for “their business.” That is a myth!

Advertising can work. It’s worked for Coca-Cola and GEICO. It can work for funeral homes too. This workshop will tell them how.

The program begins by explaining how consumers “think in pictures” and asks the question, “When a consumer thinks about your funeral home, what pictures do they see on the screen in their mind?”

It continues with how advertising works, reach and frequency metrics for mass media and Facebook, as well as recommendations on how to spend advertising dollars wisely.

It also focuses on the Funeral Sales Funnel, and “The Consumer’s Journey to Purchasing Funeral Services.” Here, we discuss the power of the subconscious mind, and through the use of a powerful metaphor everyone understands, reveals how and when funeral home ads are actively read/heard/seen by consumers.

Over the years working with funeral homes and after publishing tens of thousands of posts on Facebook and Instagram, the leading insight we can share is simply this: Facebook Users Love Their Funeral Homes. We see the outpouring of love and gratitude towards them all the time, yet most funeral professionals are unaware of this inspirational truth. It’s almost a secret! 

What this tells us is “Faces on Facebook” works. By posting images of funeral directors, assistants, office administrators, owners, managers, even comfort dogs, funeral homes and their staff will be known, trusted, and celebrated on Facebook.

Participants can receive 1 CE credit upon completion by submitting required information to their local state board. Continuing Education credits approved by the following states: Alabama, North Carolina, Ohio and Texas; and also all states that accept certified CE providers of the American Academy of Funeral Service Practice. Additional state approvals coming soon.

Busting the Myths of Local Advertising for Funeral Homes

How to Invest Your Dollars Wisely for Increased Sales

Napoleon Hill, author of “Think and Grow Rich” is quoted as saying, “Whatever the mind can conceive and believe, the mind can achieve.” But the truth is, many funeral homes can’t conceive advertising because they don’t believe it works for “their business.” That is a myth!

Advertising can work. It’s worked for Coca-Cola and GEICO. It can work for funeral homes too. This workshop will tell them how.

The first roadblock funeral homes face is “what to say.” It’s easy for furniture stores and restaurants to advertise, but writing ads based on “Death and the Funeral Process” is not easy.

If funeral homes intend to remain profitable and expand in this world of growing cremation percentages and shrinking margins, they need an advertising strategy faster than word-of-mouth.

This workshop reveals how advertising works best for funeral homes, what you can say, and tips on Radio, TV/Cable, Internet, Outdoor, and Facebook.

Registration is closed for the December 2023 webinar.

Attendees may earn 1 CE credit by attending this webinar.

  • Ohio
  • North Carolina

As well as all states that accept certified CE providers of the American Academy of Funeral Service Practice. Additional state approvals coming soon.

4. Reach: How many do you need to reach to grow?

5. Frequency: Change the way people think

6. Consistency: The Sales Funnel

7. Copy: What do you say and how do you say it?

8. Google is the Yellow Pages; Facebook is the Newspaper

9. Media quick hitters: TV/Cable, Radio, Outdoor, the Newspaper

Business Benefits

1. By knowing how advertising works, it will be easier to “believe” it can work for their funeral home.

2. The sales funnel will help operators visually understand the need to always be advertising

3. With the four pillars of effective local advertising, wasted ad dollars can identified and redirected
