Positioning Your Center for Long-Term Growth and Success
Description
Let’s face it, too many centers are dependent on single marketing channels like Adwords or Facebook, but this is expensive and unsustainable in the long-term. It’s also why we’ve seen so many organizations close down centers or shut their doors completely in the past year. There needs to be a healthy balance of admissions coming from professional referrals and alumni in addition to standard marketing campaigns.
This webinar will discuss current trends in the field and what is and isn’t working post-Adwords. In addition, it will provide strategic advice on what you can do today to ensure the long-term health and sustainability of your center for tomorrow.
Presenter Nick Jaworski is the owner of Circle Social Inc, a digital marketing agency that helps recovery centers and other healthcare organizations connect with patients and their communities to grow their census. He is also an advocate for a more human-centered, individualized and evidence-based approach to addiction treatment due to having gone through his own addiction issues as a youth.
On September 13, from 10 AM - 2 PM, Metro Drug Coalition and Addiction Campuses will host the Second Annual Knox County Recovery Resource Fair at Central United Methodist Church, located at 201 3rd Avenue, Knoxville, TN 37917.
The purpose of the event is to provide comprehensive resources to those in or seeking recovery and those who work with individuals in or seeking recovery. Over 40 vendors will be present to connect attendees who are in or searching for recovery resources in Knox County. The fair will also be providing FREE Hep A shots from Knox County Health Department and FREE and CONFIDENTIAL Hep C and HIV Testing from Positively Living.
