Bill, I think you hit the nail on the head with your suggestion of the DVD including the actual video taping of the VST session. It does not have to be long but must show the people participating, There could be two parts, one a session that is more…

Just got back from a date night dinner with my wife. Her mom watched the kids. She's not the type to go on camera, but I might cajole her a bit, and my father in law is always telling stories. they live in one of the seizure villages and I will see…

Hi Jay I am not convinced that is difficult to herd old people. They are quite interested in anything new going on in their community. It depends more on whether the person in charge is willing to organize and promote it. I did a promotional video f…

I live in a retirement community and it's billed as such by the local city government. You can't swing a limb here without hitting a retirement home. My super secret and elaborate plan is to drop by with brochures and such and talk to the event coor…

Hola Sarge Hero I like your plan of creating a DVD to hand out. Seing is believing for many people! I have found that my postcards never get past whoever receives the mail at retirement villages. The residents never get to see it. I had one very pos…

Hello VST associates I have tried cold calling retirement homes and I visit one, but the administrators didn't seem to be interested. In Puerto Rico this service is something no one has done before, which makes it kind of difficult for them to unde…

I'm getting some interest and positive responses from communities that are primarily dealing with Alzheimer's situations. There is that factor of "defending" the elderly from cons (I worked a series for years at the Leisure World Seal Beach newspap…

"Seizure Village" , have not heard that one! Seniors are seen by many as a cash cow, the many retirement villages would be a good example of that. I have found seniors to be quite sceptical. I have sent several postcard mailings to retirement commun…

Heidi, I think I may come across the same issue. We are surrounded with retirement communities, when I was younger kids used to call it "Seizure Village" (one of the largest is Leisure Village) Or Wrinkle Village.... My parents had an arts and craf…

Marketing Approach

Hi While there are some common strategies, I believe that communities are different and need a specific marketing approach to suit the community. For example, I live in a small city not far from Vancouver. It is sometimes referred to as the "ret…

Used 3/4" videotape, is there a market for it?

I doubt there's a market for them as I picked up 10 cases for free recently. And a 3/4" VTR for free from another fellow. But if you are trying to clear space, I'll take them. You wouldn't even have to erase them, if you didn't want to. I'm thinking about using them for practice in conversion.
