Diane Maurer, Care Options Network

I have over 15+ years experience working with the elderly and their families in crisis situations. In the senior care industry, I have worked as the Housing Manager at Senior Living facilities and helped seniors make sense of their medical bills, insurance and all paperwork needed for Medicare benefits. I have listened and counseled families regarding the care their parent needed and helped to connect them to those services.

I learned that I could best help my clients by connecting them to necessary resources and by providing quality referrals.

Today, through my work with Care Options Network, I strive to connect the best senior care professionals to one another by providing them with the resources and networking opportunities they need to best help their clients. Our network is over 1,000 members strong and boasts the loyalty of over 20 years participation by those members.

Annually, we publish the SeniorCare GuideBook which is a resource created with the senior care professional in mind. This comprehensive 500+ page resource includes detailed information for all the Twin Cities senior living facilities, Hospice Agencies, Home Health Care, Care Management and more. Also, Care Options Network annually publishes the Senior Housing Directory, a free magazine created for the general public.

We keep our network members connected via email communications sent to our database of over 2,500 senior care professionals. Some of our emailings include a weekly Network Newsletter that highlights educational seminars and professional meetings, an Employment Newsletter, Housing Vacancy Reports and special events. All of the benefits we provide for our members are too numerous to list. For more information, check out our website atwww.careoptionsnetwork.org

If you would like to develop referral partnerships with senior care professionals, please contact me. I am privileged to know all of our network members and I feel passionate about connecting those individuals that help our seniors receive the best choices and services available.

Sincerest Regards,

Diane Maurer

Jim Holt Summary

“Change, nothing stays the same”-David Lee Roth, Poet

Jim Holt, Minnesota Marketers

The game is the same but the rules of marketing are changing. 10 or 15 years ago businesses were seeing fantastic returns with their paper, radio, and television advertising. Today however, businesses relying on using these old school methods of marketing are asking themselves, what happened to all of my customers? The short answer is: most clients have moved online and no longer spend the majority of their time reading the newspaper, watching regular cable television, or searching through the yellow pages. For anyone who markets in a competitive industry, this is hardly breaking news. But, I would argue that 80%-90% of the businesses that know this are still doing it wrong! As a result they are wasting thousands and thousands of marketing dollars and failing to reach their potential online customers.

The online landscape is constantly changing—changing as a result of technological changes and as a result of people’s attitudes. Speaking in terms of online marketing, whatever’s hot today is almost certainly going to be cold tomorrow. With things moving as fast as they do, it is essential for businesses to stay at the leading edge—becoming stagnant or comfortable can kill a business faster today than ever. I have been fortunate enough to have been born into a generation that really understands all of the in’s and out’s of the online landscape. This has given me a huge advantage over a lot of other marketers out there but it is not the biggest factor that sets me apart.

I started Minnesota Marketers 8 months ago to be the internet marketing experts for Minnesota’s small businesses. It’s a company which boasts itself as being different than any other online marketing/website development company. We are a marketing company first and foremost, so although we design gorgeous websites and Facebook Fan pages with the best of them, we also design sites and pages that are functional and help business reach their online customers. Far too many businesses are wasting thousands of dollars on designers and programmers who don’t know the first lick about marketing. We take pride in the satisfaction of our customers and work hard to always be: accessible, communicative, experienced, and knowledgeable. It is our mission to help our customers get more of their customers by: maintaining our leading-edge expertise in the ever-changing world of online marketing; translating the technical jargon and concepts of internet marketing into language our customers understand; educating our customers so they can make intelligent choices that support their business goals; and providing outstanding value for our customers in every service we provide.

Market Perspective for your Money

Tom — Wed, 07 Jul 2010 21:18:32 +0000

I’m pleased to introduce Tom Gartner, Certified Financial Planner with ISC Financial Advisors. Whether you are a business owner, executive, salesperson, author, or just want to make the most of your money, Tom shares ideas for growing your portfolio during turbulent markets. You likely notice the turmoil in the stock market and wonder what you should do. These days, information that used to take weeks to disseminate and digest, now takes seconds. I suggest you take a step back, take a breath, and regain reality. First, don’t rely too much on TV news outlets or CNBC. At the end of the day, they are selling commercials. Making current events more dramatic is a good way to get you to tune in. But acting on this news is often detrimental to your finances.
