What to look for in a webcasting provider
1. Make sure they’ve been around for at least 3 years. You don’t want worry about disappointing a family by finding out your provider is out of business.
2. With technology being the way it is, make sure it’s affordable. Closely compare all the companies out there.
3. Make sure your provider is focused only on the funeral profession. It’s no different than choosing a doctor who is a specialist.
4. Try to avoid signing a contract. What if you have a problem? You don’t want to be locked in. Things change; that’s life. You need to be flexible!
5. Make sure it’s easy-to-use! Ease-of-use is everything.
6. Find a provider that puts the webcast on your website. You don’t want your families going to another company to find your webcast. You deserve all the credit!
7. Make sure they have 24/7 Support! It’s technology. Problems do happen. Good companies just fix them .
8. I HIGHLY recommend working with a company that will offer you a FREE trial first.

Regardless of who you decide to partner with for your webcasting needs, I wish you the best of success. I hope that the information I have shared with you has helped make your decision easier.

As I always say “Great work is newsworthy”, and once again I want to share with you an update on Schoedinger Funeral Home’s success.

Not only was Schoedinger’s firm featured in virtually every local paper, TV station, and radio show… but they also made National Worldwide press from Ohio to Italy!

They say “Seeing is believing” so I wanted to share the biggest secret in creating tremendous value and amazing profits with tribute memorial videos.

PS – make sure you leave a comment on my blog and let me know how the tools work for you!

I read EVERY comment and reply to as many as I have time for.

Many of the directors I’ve talked to recently have shared that they’re doing more cremations and making less money. In other words, they’re working harder, and earning less.

It doesn’t have to be that way. If you give me a bit of your time, I’ll show you how your firm can bring in $750 more per arrangement, easily, and creatively. Not only that, your client families will rave about your innovative products and services.

In fact, you may already have all you need to get started. If you’re a subscriber to The Director, American Funeral Director, or the ICCFA Magazine, you’re one step ahead of the game. That’s because we’ve included a free copy of Life Tributes, the world’s first and only personalization software suite, in the January issues of each of these journals.
