Why does my area agency need to improve our outreach strategy?

Today’s older adults are online more than ever and leveraging technology to connect, learn, and stay engaged. Is your agency reaching them effectively?

Many AAAs aren’t engaging with their audiences as effectively as they could, resulting in lost opportunities to connect with older adults and their communities. If your organization is looking to improve reach and engagement, adding a digital strategy tailored to their specific needs is key.

There are many ways agencies fail to reach older adults. Even with the right goals, some marketing teams aren’t taking full advantage of the most effective digital channels available. Engaging older adults with technology, as well as engaging those who are challenged with learning it (but still want to learn) is important.

We’ve been working with AAAs for 7 years. During this time, we’ve seen agencies struggle to reach their communities. So, we developed a downloadable resource for area agency marketing teams, titled “10 Don’ts for Engaging Older Adults with Technology: A CEO’s Blueprint.” In this guide, you’ll find more information about how to proactively avoid these common pitfalls and achieve your outreach goals.
