In this week’s episode, “Marketing Your Bereavement Practice“, we discuss:
- Is grief the same as bereavement?
- Is there a difference in sub-niches based of types of loss?
- Being real and normalizing the process of grief.
- Knowing that someone has been there can be validating as long as boundaries are in place.
- Looking to marketing to long-term caregivers, veterinarians, EMTs, hospice workers and other professional individuals at risk for compassion fatigue and loss of patients and clients.
- All losses are valid, how do you market your niche within that idea?
- Clergy, therapists, funeral directors and morgue and mortuary staff as referral sources.
- Perspective and clarity on niche.
