Don’t Miss the Best Seminars in the Industry
MKJ Marketing • Jan 08, 2018

Join us at MKJ’s 2018 Marketing Summit and find out what’s missing in your marketing plan and what might be holding you back.

This year, the MKJ Marketing seminars will address the most pressing issues facing funeral and cemetery business owners today. During this period of industry transition, some owners are experiencing their best business years ever, while others are struggling, competing for minimum cremation business. Why the disparity? Some firms have innovated while others suffer from clinging to a 1950’s business model that is simply no longer effective.

Innovation is not a point-in-time decision, but a continual mindset and business culture. The 2018 seminars will compare and contrast superior performers with the mediocre by presenting case studies from successful businesses.

Below is just a sample of relevant topics that will be presented:

Whether you prefer the thrill of skiing at North America’s #1 ski resort or relaxing with your toes in the sand on one of the country’s best beaches, we have a seminar at a location that you are sure to enjoy:

Held in Vail, CO from February 26-28, attendees will ski and study with us at The Arrabelle , the very best hotel in the heart of Vail, where you can ski in and ski out. Looking for other outdoor activities ? Try snowshoeing or ski-biking at Adventure Ridge, or ice skating at Arrabelle Square.  Warm up with plenty of indoor activities including shopping, dining, and accessing spa services. This is a 5-star ski experience with program content to match!

If you prefer a warmer climate, join us at The Sandpearl on Clearwater Beach, FL, from March 19-21. This is a luxury resort located right on one of America’s top-rated beaches. When you’re not soaking up the sun on the shoreline, there is plenty to see and do: Visit Winter the dolphin at the Clearwater Marine Aquarium , experience thrill rides Busch Gardens , take in some culture at the Salvador Dali Museum , or indulge in world-class cuisine at Bern’s Steakhouse. And you won’t believe the rate we have during Florida’s peak season. Come to enjoy the hot sun – get even hotter seminar content!

Best of all, MKJ seminars have consistently been fully accredited by the Academy of Professional Funeral Service Practice and nearly every state. But since every state has its own requirements, we can’t guarantee accreditation for every hour. If you need more information, simply contact us , and we can help you determine eligibility in your state.

Now is the time to book to gain access to early bird specials and discounts for multiple seminar participants. Simply call us at 888-655-1566 , or you can register right here on our website.

Nashville, TN — MKJ Marketing Seminars address the most pressing issues facing funeral business owners. During this period of economic uncertainty, owners are experiencing their best business years ever regarding at-need volume, but profits may be lagging. As we await the anticipated recession, operators are uncertain how best to manage their costs and pricing. Innovation is not a point-in-time decision but a mindset and business culture. MKJ’s 2023 Ski Seminar will share insights from research and experience working with funeral homes throughout the year and from coast to coast. Learn how digital marketing has evolved and how to make it work best for you Learn how a recession creates opportunities for market share gains Learn how your website can allow you to sell more online by offering products consumers want The potential in email marketing New service offerings to get 5-star reviews How to compete with lower-priced competition during a recession The Ski Seminar dates are Jan. 30 to Feb. 1. The seminar was moved to earlier in the year to assure the best skiing experience as the warmer climate could make later in February slushy. The host hotel is the Ritz-Carlton Bachelor Gulch in Beaver Creek — one of Colorado’s finest ski resorts. The resort is ski-in/ski-out and features amenities unavailable at most resorts. MKJ successfully negotiated a very good room rate (hundreds of dollars below the resort’s published room rate). Note: For the first time in MKJ’s 41-year history, we will not be conducting the annual Florida seminar, as the resort was severely damaged by Hurricane Ian. Don’t miss this up-to-date content that will be only offered at the Ski Seminar.
