HOW TO MAXIMIZE YOUR TIME

You’re very busy. You have to be. This profession doesn’t lend itself to copious amounts of free time and a light workload. So, wouldn’t it be nice to have some backup? Wouldn’t it feel freeing to have people you trust working with your company and brand? Well, DISRUPT Media wants to give you those feelings and so much more.

Not only does DISRUPT Media provide you with a digital marketing strategy, 24/7 page monitoring (reading messages, responding to comments, etc.), and the boldest ideas to help you pierce through the noise, but DISRUPT Media gives you a full-blown team. That’s right.

Members of DISRUPT Media have access to writers, graphic designers, creative developers, and an analytics team that all share the same goal: they want to see you succeed.

Sounds good? Too good? Well… good. It only gets better because this whole team only costs a third of what you might pay one full-time employee.

See how DISRUPT Media can help you.

NEW IDEAS FOR FUNERAL HOMES

As always, Connecting Directors put out some fantastic articles this past week. One of those great articles featured ways for funeral homes to be more active in their community. And, there were a lot of great strategies in THAT ARTICLE.

But… I like to push the boundaries. When others go to the moon, I purposely go past the moon, knowing that I might burn up in flames or run out of fuel. Why? Because, the only chance you have of hitting a black hole, going through it to another dimension, and discovering a new color requires you to go past the moon.

So… I created a list of my own ideas. These are some things a funeral home may want to try to get their community excited and to, shall we say, draw some attention.

THE OFFICIAL FFFW (BUT NOT CONNECTING DIRECTORS ENDORSED) LIST OF IDEAS THAT MAY NOT BE ETHICAL, LEGAL, OR BENEFICIAL BUT WILL DEFINITELY GET PEOPLE TALKING ABOUT YOU!

Congrats! Your town just got a new Starbucks!

Sike! It’s just your funeral home with a Starbucks sign where your logo used to be. This is bound to get people in the door. Plus, it’s not a complete lie, almost every funeral home has some drip coffee or a Keurig that could be put to use. Think about it; they came for coffee with creamer and left with coffee and a cremation!
Meet our new grief dog!

Sike! It’s a grief TIGER! The world went crazy over Joe Exotic in 2020, so they’re bound to love you in 2021. Get a whole line of weird pets and you got yourself a funeral petting zoo. SIGN ME UP!
Welcome to our lunch and learn!

Wait, I mean lunch and BURN! Let’s face it; everyone’s a little bit fascinated by pyro. Most never burn down buildings, but we’ve all randomly lit objects on fire. So, why not let them go big. Find something really big that you can catch on fire and let the community be a part of it. You’ll be a part of making wishes come true. Everyone wants to blow up something.

COMIC OF THE WEEK

Dino’s don’t do it all.

YOU OTTER BE PROUD

Let’s be honest, our profession gets a lot of negative press, so we’ve searched the internet to find stories of funeral things getting respect and doing great things!
