We Need Better Marketing
Marketing an Alzheimer's Care Facility
It's becoming more and more difficult for Alzheimer's care facilities to rise above the clamor of the marketplace. Innovative marketing strategies may be your best bet for out-promoting -- and outperforming -- the competition.
Multiple marketing factors affect bottom line profitability. However, great marketing strategies share a common characteristic.
A robust marketing plan cements your company's relationships with customers. With that in mind, it's important to leverage marketing as a path toward better customer engagement in your Alzheimer's care facility's business model.
Mailings
It makes sense for Alzheimer's care facilities to participate in direct marketing. Direct mail has the advantage of delivering targeted messaging to qualified contacts within your company's market segment. Third-party providers have a reputation for generating accurate mailing lists that can be sorted to accommodate niches and subsections of the market. Despite the added upfront expense, premium mailing lists are a smart investment if for no other reason than their ability to generate higher conversion rates.
Make Sure You Have a Good Business Sign
Good signage is a Business 101 concept. Even though Alzheimer's care facilities are very different from each other, signage can be used by any Alzheimer's care facility to communicate the company's value to their customers. Visibility, branding elements and other considerations are all factors in the design and size of your operation's business signage.
Given the fact that signage in Alzheimer's care facilities has unique characteristics, avoid glossing it over as an afterthought. Talk with somebody who knows a lot about business signage advice and get their input before you create new business signs.
Bundling
Today's marketplace is all about perceived value. The more you can do to communicate value to consumers, the more likely it is that they will respond positively to your messaging. Businesses that bundle products tap into the market's psyche by creating the perception (real or imagined) of cost-savings. Most Alzheimer's care facilities can use bundling to communicate value to their base. Since the bundling concept is based on discounts, consumers expect to pay less for the bundle than they would if they were to buy the products separately, so you'll need to make sure your bundle offers real value to buyers.
