Laurie Loves Planning

02/10/2022

We are pleased to welcome Marie T. DeLauretis, B. Comm., CFP, RWM, CEA – Principal owner of DeLauretis Wealth Management/Desjardins Financial Security Independent Network, working with individuals, couples and business owners committed to living the life they truly want. By showing her clients the path to achieving their financial, lifestyle & legacy goals, she provides a clear picture of what is possible.

As a Certified Financial Planner and Real Wealth Manager, Marie is specially trained in all areas of financial planning and wealth management. The philosophy at DeLauretis Wealth Management is “No one builds wealth alone. Creating and maintaining sustainable wealth requires the collaboration and contribution of the clients, the lead financial advisor and a team of integrated financial professionals from various specialities to help families and clients truly reach their full financial potential with peace of mind. At DWM we are that team.”

Her personal pursuits include hiking in the Canadian Rockies, pushing her comfort level in learning to River - Stand Up Paddleboard in Alberta’s amazing rivers, and one day will gather the courage to take one of those scenic helicopter rides to get that high level view of her beloved mountains. Heights are not her specialty.

Annual Fall Conference

The less followers you have, the better your engagement – those with at least 10,000 followers have 3.6 per cent engagement rate, while influencers with 5,000 to 10,000 are at 6.3 per cent, and users with just 1,000 to 5,000 have the highest engagement rate of 8.8 per cent.

This suggests that influencers with smaller followings tend to have more loyal fans, which is something brands have already tapped into it, jumping on the ‘micro-influencer’ bandwagon.

But falling engagement rates doesn’t necessarily mean the era of the influencer is over, rather it could be evolving. “I think the whole ‘influencer industry’ has caused a lot of stress and a lot of unrealistic expectations for kids and teens all over the world,” influencer Tora Northman told Dazed last month, “and I would like to see it either disappear or drift into something more empowering.”
