Getting Seniors & Adult Children's Attention with Storytelling in Retirement Communities
My friend, Kevin Williams, works with a lot of senior living providers (as www.lifebio.com/health does too). I asked him to talk about storytelling from a marketing person's point of view as well as from a family member's point of view when they are seeking out GREAT service and care in their local area. We discussed the fact that seniors in a retirement community are the BEST people to share the story of why they love living there---but another amazing thought is celebrating the life stories of the AMAZING people in your midst (tell THAT story). That will certainly get the media's attention more than anything else.

No, of course not. In the United States, we want for nothing. What do you give someone when they really don't need anything?
