We Need Better Marketing

Marketing an Alzheimer's Information and Referral Services

You have to be light on your feet to stay ahead of the curve these days, especially when you're promoting an Alzheimer's information and referral services. We have the information you need to create a nimble, yet effective marketing strategy for your business.

Looking for the right marketing mix for your Alzheimer's information and referral services? You're not alone. More than ever before, the industry is populated with ambitious entrepreneurs eager to make an impression on would-be buyers.

Healthy customer relationships are strengthened and expanded through targeted marketing campaigns. With that in mind, it's important to leverage marketing as a path toward better customer engagement in your Alzheimer's information and referral services's business model.

Sponsorships

Sponsorships are an effective marketing tactic for many types of operations, including Alzheimer's information and referral services. Successful sponsorships create connections with customers; ineffective ones alienate customers and drain your marketing budget. It's critical to accurately match your event and team sponsorships to likely Alzheimer's information and referral services patrons. Community-wide events have value, but to maximize marketing impact, you'll need to pick and choose the events your business supports.

Marketing Expertise

Don't have a background in marketing? That shouldn't stop you from taking a larger promotional role in your company by educating yourself about today's most effective marketing concepts. Resources are limited and most Alzheimer's information and referral services need to make every dollar count, especially when it comes to their marketing budgets. If you don't have a marketing background, it's critical to either educate yourself about basic marketing principles or consult with a professional marketing firm. We advise our business partners to seriously consider outsourcing their promotional requirements because professional marketers tend to have their fingers on the pulse of the marketplace.

Public Relations Strategies

Public relations is more subtle, but no less powerful than a full-blown marketing push. If you want to send unrestricted marketing messages to your audience, buy a mailing list and perform a direct mail campaign. But if your strategy calls for sophistication, media buy-in and thought leadership, hire a PR consultant. The key to effective PR is to use nuanced messaging to attract the attention of reporters and media representatives. If reporters smell promotional content, they will back off from the story or create their own narrative.
