There will be 4 CEU’s up for grabs and attendees will learn the benefits of an integrated marketing strategy. It doesn’t stop there.

AAMI Annual Bootcamp (April 30, 2016)

At the annual AAMI Bootcamp, I will be leading four dynamic sessions on Funeral Home marketing including the benefits of social media, an introduction to search engine optimization, cremation strategy planning and a look at today’s consumers. By walking funeral directors through not only the “why” but the “how” of funeral home marketing, they will be better prepared to promote and grow their business in 2016.
