"DONUT" Overthink Social Media

This year, DISRUPT Media is really encouraging all funeral homes to step-up their social media game. Now, part of the social media equation involves creating fantastic content. For many funeral homes this is a daunting task. But it doesn’t have to be…

It can be as easy as eating donuts.

See, a couple of years back one of our members was looking for a way to consistently create fun content that their community would relate to. We ended up encouraging them to review donuts from a beloved local establishment on a weekly basis. They followed through and the videos were great! Not surprisingly, people really liked seeing the funeral home on video, and people loved seeing the donuts. Over the course of a month, this created thousands of views and incredible interaction between the funeral home and the community.

Watch it for yourself!

Both creating awareness and building relationships are vital for a successful business. However, many funeral homes and death care businesses only focus on brand recognition and being top-of-mind. There’s nothing wrong with focusing on this, but if you only focus on this you’re missing a very valuable piece to the puzzle.
