Over the last few years, the pair’s custom-tailored Attraction Marketing presentations have been highly regarded by numerous LeadingAge chapters around the county, with a program that provides actionable insight that senior living and aging care professionals can use to enhance their organization’s success.

Through Inbound Marketing we are able to take our marketing tactics and optimize them towards a single effort focused on real data and quantitative performance as the measure of success.

Attraction Marketing is the process of making your company and its products, services, and culture more attractive to prospects by driving specific marketing initiatives. Both presentations will cover strategies key to this process. Specifically, Gartlan’s presentation will discuss the power of brand storytelling to attract prospects while Wagner will explain how to create quality content to appeal to the right audience.

“Telling your brand story in a unique, human way is an important component of attracting prospects,” says Gartlan. “Today, marketers must do all they can to get more out of their marketing spend. Virtually any senior living/aging care organization can benefit with positive increases in overall brand awareness, increased interest, and lead generation.”

Wagner adds to this by saying, “Through Inbound Marketing we are able to take our marketing tactics and optimize them towards a single effort focused on real data and quantitative performance as the measure of success.”
