Hello ConnectingDirectors.com Subscriber,

It has been awhile since I sent out our last newsletter. Our Connecting Directors community is growing fast and wide. We now have members from six different countries. I hope that all of you are still finding the site useful. We have received an enormous amount of positive feedback from many industry publications and state Funeral Directors Associations. We are scheduled to have an article in the Arizona Funeral Directors Association Newsletter in June and also in The Florida Funeral Director Magazine in July.

*COMING UP*

ConnectingDirectors.com will be an Exhibitor at the Ohio Funeral Directors Convention April 29 - May 2!!

We are very excited to have this opportunity. This will provide CD.com with some great exposure. We are going to be located right next to one of our Featured Sponsor: Wilbert Burial Vaults.

Our booth is going to feature a digital projector that will be projecting ConnectingDirectors.com on a 10’ white back drop. Patrons of the booth will be able to browse ConnectingDirectors.com on two different laptops that will be present in the booth. While getting a walk through of the site, patrons will also be able to join CD.com. We are also featuring a drawing to win a Nintendo Wii.

Attached to this email you will find one of the flyers we will be handing out to visitors of the booth. We are also going to be featuring some information about our sponsors. We all know without our sponsors this site would not be able to stay a float.

*NEW FEATURES*

Connecting Directors is now offering product reviews FOR FREE!!

One of the most import things you can ask for with a product you offer is FEEDBACK. We see it all the time: Hotels, Airlines, Restaurants, they all want feedback from their customers. Whether positive or negative, feedback on a product can provide much needed information that can be used to increase product quality and sales.

Connecting Directors has agreed to review (for FREE) a number of industry related products provided by members and non-members of ConnectingDirectors.com.

A team of testers will review each product. To be fair, not all reviews are positive. That said, I am not looking to destroy anyone’s self-esteem, but I will never EVER give a positive review to a product that I feel is not worth. Regardless of how much you offer to pay me. Or beg. (Well, maybe if you offer to sponsor this site! Just Kidding)

What I can promise is that I will show it to my testers and report back with their honest opinions.

Upon review I will publish the review on ConnectingDirectors.com. I will not print any review you choose to keep to yourself. So if we provide a negative review it is your choice whether to remove your product before I publish the results.

That being said, look for reviews to start being posted in the coming weeks.

If you’d like Connecting Directors to review your funeral-related product, send it via U.S. Mail to Connecting Directors, PO Box 430, Zanesville, Ohio 43701.

If your product requires the use of other shipping methods please contact me via email at ryan@connectingdirectors.com or by phone at (740) 617-0599
