New Haven, CT - November 11, 2009 - CareNetworks.com has partnered with LTCAdmissionsCoach.com to build an online community, called The Daily Grind, specifically for marketing professionals in senior living, home health, private duty homecare, and hospice. The community is designed to help these marketers capture and exchange ideas, resources, and best practices anytime, from anywhere. The site combines the best social networking
applications with the most useful collaboration tools so members can
join forces and participate in a dynamic community of like-minded
professionals. Members can easily create and customize profile pages, network with other members, view and participate in discussion forums, view or post multimedia content, share documents or other files, post events to the calendar, participate in industry specific subgroups, and much more.
Membership in the community is free for marketing professionals. There is no traditional advertising on the site and self-promotion or direct selling to members is prohibited. Currently, the site is fully funded by its main sponsor, LTCAdmissionsCoach, and by CareNetworks.com, who also manages the site.
CareNetworks.com builds branded online communities for the senior living and eldercare industries and helps companies discover and adopt social media as a business and marketing tool. "CareNetworks offers senior living, eldercare, and LTC companies a simple, cost-effective solution to the complex and ever-changing world of social media and online community" says Brian Geyser, founder of CareNetworks.com. "It's the easiest way for organizations in our industry to tap into the social Web. We're excited to be working with LTCAdmissionsCoach on this project because marketers can now get a flavor for how social media and online community can be used within their organizations to engage customers and prospects, increase referrals, assist with recruiting, and increase sales. This community brings industry marketers and organizations together and provides opportunities for meaningful exchange."
LTCAdmissionsCoach president Andrea Zabinski says, "We wanted to build a community where marketers in our industry could not only network, but also learn, share and collaborate with each other. We were using Linkedin but we found it pretty limiting and we just weren't getting the engagement or results we wanted. We chose CareNetworks.com as a partner on this project because they not only have the community building expertise, but the direct experience in our industry. That part was huge for us."
