Working with Elders

Here's the second episode, this one with Becky Herrmann and her busy life helping others.When a professional fund raiser retires to Canada, what does she do? Keep working, of course. Becky Herrmann describes two agencies for seniors located in Vancouver, Canada. The services are quite comprehensive and unique. Do you know other Spectacular Seniors? I'm always looking for inspirational, well-spoken people to interview that are making a difference to themselves and their communities. Let me know if you know of any special elders.  

Great Seniors Online Resource: "Senior Living" Magazine

Cover of "Senior Living" magazine, September 2015 issue

Usually I'm writing articles about static, already-finished events or places that people have been. Sometimes I write about resources for seniors as I am this time - one that changes every month. The magazine, "Senior Living", has been published in hard copy since 2004, first on Vancouver Island and then several expansions have allowed it to be published province-wide. It's certainly a good resource for seniors and is available by subscription or at certain retail stores.

What I'm going to describe today, however, is the online version. It's a treat to see this bright, busy website home page with tabs for resources, housing directory, events and also TV/video and radio. The weekly TV program, "Senior Living on Location" uses interviews with outstanding and inspirational seniors.

Senior Living On Location focuses on the inspiring, informative and entertaining adventure filled stories of seniors from Vancouver Island, Vancouver and the Lower Mainland communities. 

Senior Living On Location is dedicated to changing the definition and stereotypes around aging, retirement and what it means to become a senior. The program is narrated by well known voice-over artist and radio broadcaster Barry Bowman, who brings a warm, familiar sound and creative perspective to each story segment.

This online is a resource well worth exploring. Of course the magazine is also available online. The only disappointing section was the radio. I couldn't get a selection of music to play, and the limit of country western or 50's, 60's and 70's didn't fit my taste anyway. With the great podcasts these days it seems they could "remodel" (I hesitate to say "update") this section. However, this website is worth bookmarking for future days. Great to have an online resource about seniors that is kept very current and fresh.

Spectacular Seniors

Like Podcasts? Here is one about inspiring seniors who are not just sitting around but making a difference in their own lives and helping others as well. Here's the first episode of Spectacular Seniors:  

New StarShine Products - Pet Products

Something new has been added to this website - products for your pets, especially dogs and cats. Most of the products will be sold on Amazon.com and Amazon.ca (Canadian version).

Here's the first product - a nifty indoor pet house to give your pet a safe, cozy place anywhere you go. It unzips and folds up for easy transport. The padded material is very durable and also washable. It comes complete with a matching soft plush pillow. This is the medium size, good for pets under 10 lbs (22 kg) but there is a larger size that will be imported later. Why not give your pet a present? I promise it will be popular. Return to this website to find more pet products when they become available.

How to Market with Pinterest

Pinterest is a collection of photos, recipes, videos and small posts (called "pins") that are arranged on boards, something like bulletin boards. It's a way to connect with people of similar interests and also to showcase your products or services. The marketing is mostly free on Pinterest and it has a traffic reach that is greater than Twitter, Google+, Bing or Yahoo. The video describes how to set up a Pinterest page and then how to market with Pinterest. The platform is fairly easy compared to the other social media methods. Links can be embedded into the pins so that they are clickable and take you to a website or sales page.

I have found Pinterest to be a complimentary benefit to Facebook business pages. What is your opinion of Pinterest? Please leave a comment below.

How to Use Twitter Chats for Marketing

This video will show you how to use something called Twitter Chats or Tweet Chats for your business. When they are in real-time, they are sometimes fast-moving and difficult to follow. It's a lot of information that scrolls by as you will see towards the end of the video. However, you can pause it and engage with individual people. Twitter Chats allow you to showcase your expertise and can give you a huge exposure. They are a way to instantly engage with potential customers by sharing resources, answering questions and building that "know, like and trust" relationship.

There are also Twitter parties and Twitter ads, but they will have to be covered in another video.
