MKJ Selects Tributes.com to Host Website Obituaries
Largo, FL - Specialists are
emerging in every area of technology, including hosting funeral home
obituaries. Tributes.com is positioned to become the nation’s resource
for obituaries with easy to use obituary management software and cutting edge
data base architecture providing for increased searchability and
security. For these reasons, MKJ Marketing, the death care industry’s
marketing leader, has announced an alliance with Tributes.com that will elevate
their clients’ online obituary services and allow them to provide their
families with new, powerful tools to better tell and preserve the rich stories
of their loved one’s lives.
Tributes.com is the only website hosting
service to offer funeral homes income generating options from obituary
hosting. According to Glenn Gould, CEO of MKJ Marketing, “Obituaries have
never been recognized for the inherent value they represent to funeral homes.
The generation and management of the obituary for the family is an important
service that the funeral home provides and they should have an opportunity to
benefit from their efforts. Forming a strategic alliance with
Tributes.com provides our website clients the means to enhance their obituary
offerings while also making obituaries a profit center.”
The most often visited area of a funeral
home website is the obituary page and is typically the major driver of local
traffic. Tributes.com contributes to the local exposure of the funeral
home website and also generates traffic at a national level through promotion
of the funeral home on Tributes.com, Tributes’ national web destination.
Obituaries posted on Tributes.com include a link to the funeral home that
posted the obituary allowing family, friends and colleagues easier access to
the funeral home and an opportunity for the funeral home to generate
incremental sales of condolence items such as flowers, gift baskets and
memorial jewelry. The MKJ/Tributes.com alliance will result in
significant promotion of MKJ customer brands and service offerings – both
locally and nationally.
MKJ is known across the funeral industry
for offering the highest quality marketing services with proven results that
truly help their clients build their businesses. “Tributes.com is highly
focused on establishing strong relationships with funeral homes and providing
them products and services that benefit their families, their businesses and
ultimately their bottom line,” said Elaine Haney, President, Tributes,
Inc. “Our goals and those of MKJ are highly aligned as we work with
funeral homes to jointly deliver services and solutions that build their
brands, enhance the services that they can offer their families, generate leads
and ultimately contribute to their growth and overall business success.”
The technology that forms the foundation of
Tributes.com’s obituary platform is far superior to that of any funeral service
website provider. Through their integrated obituary alerts, individuals
can register with Tributes to be notified upon the death of anyone from a
particular school, military unit, or work place. Their database security
protects obituaries, preserving them permanently for generations to come and
the obituary database is highly scalable and sophisticated in its architecture
making it simple to access obituaries from their extensive database of over 84
million records dating back to the early 1900’s. According to
Marilyn Gould, President of MKJ, “When all of the advantages Tributes.com
offers funeral homes are considered, there is really no justification for MKJ
not to offer our clients the Tributes.com option.”
