Provider's Area
Welcome PROVIDERS to Open Doors 2008
If you're a provider, that is you own, operate or work in a seniors' housing residence of some kind in Ontario, British Columbia or Alberta, then you have come to the right place...Open Doors is all about you and those who you aim to serve, seniors and their families!
What's New For Open Doors 2008?
Based on feedback from previous years' Open Doors events, this year's Open Doors is, once again, being made available as a value-added program to advertisers of The Care Guide only, in appreciation of your continued business.
By advertising in and supporting a valuable resource like The Care Guide, you convey confidence in your offering and position your home as an important community resource itself. Your participation in Open Doors is an extension of that concept as it's about educating the public about the options available, cultivating a relationship with your community and connecting one-on-one with seniors and their families.
As an advertiser of The Care Guide, Open Doors affords you an exclusive, prime opportunity to shine, to stand out from the competition and make a difference.
ADVERTISERS: If you are currently an advertiser with The Care Guide but have chosen NOT to participate in Open Doors 2008, please contact us and we will remove your residence from the Event Locations list for you.
NON-ADVERTISERS: If you are currently NOT an advertiser with The Care Guide but would like to participate in Open Doors 2008 (and have your residence added to the Open Doors 2008 Event Locations list), please contact us and we will be more than happy to show you how your residence can also be a part of this year's event. We look forward to hearing from you.
While The Care Guide promotes Open Doors via its website, press releases to various media outlets and through media affiliations like that with Metroland, the success of your individual event is predominantly in your hands! It is crucial that you use the Marketing Kit Materials included in this section to get the word out locally about Open Doors in general, and about your specific event. We can't simply rely solely on the media to make it happen.
Last year, we posted the 'How To Build a Better Event' presentation about putting on more than just a "Tea & Tour" open house, in order to attract the community-at-large to your event and create some local buzz. Virtually all of it still applies so we encourage you to download it here. Adobe PDF document (2 MB)
