Through her Zoom training sessions, Eimer provided me with invaluable insights into digital marketing, and social media strategies – all tailored specifically to the funeral industry. Her dedication to enhancing my virtual client relationships and optimizing my LinkedIn presence is truly commendable. She was always supportive and helpful, even when I was not diligent about doing my updates and session homework.
I was not surprised to learn of Eimer’s recent recognition as the “Best Innovative Product/Service 2023″. While an enhanced online presence may not be a product you can hold in your hand, it does provide tangible results. If you’re in the funeral industry or just looking to level up your digital presence, I highly recommend connecting with Eimer.

Niamh Sweeney | John Sweeney and Sons
Niamh Sweeney: “A whole new world! I had no idea how valuable & effective an active social media presence could be & Eimer has certainly opened my eyes. We in the funeral services are often reluctant to promote ourselves. Yet the people using our service often have to choose a firm to entrust their loved one to at a most difficult time & based solely on a website or advert. What better way to make people aware of our services &, more importantly, our ethos, our competence, our compassion & our capabilities & expertise as Funeral Directors.
Social media allows us to present the person behind the company logo & Eimer has a wealth of knowledge & original ideas as to how it can be utilized. With our towns & cities growing rapidly & the constant movement of people, we cannot continue to rely solely on family traditions & familiarity to bring customers to our door. Our online presence is becoming increasingly important & will continue to do so.
It has been educational & enjoyable working with FIT Social Media & Eimer has sparked in me the courage & interest I needed to enter this world of endless possibilities.”
Ruth McQuillan | The Funeral Times
Ruth McQuillan: “Eimer helped me realise the true potential and value of a good online business presence. With myself being a bit of a Technophobe, she was extremely patient and informative, showing me exactly how to increase business by utilising several online platforms including Google Business, Facebook and our own company website. I would thoroughly recommend Eimer Duffy at FIT Social Media Training for all your online media training.”
Colm Kieran | Funeral Director Solutions
Colm Kieran: “Eimer has a unique ability to understand the specific needs and challenges of the Funeral sector and apply her social media marketing strategies to help your business thrive. She has helped many funeral businesses to develop a strong social media presence, including creating compelling content and assisting you to engage with your audience.
Eimer has a great mix of technical know-how mixed with the appropriate empathetic tone for managing social media accounts in sensitive sectors. Eimer helps you navigate your way online to make sure that your presence is known and will help you to do so in a compassionate manner.”
