We Need Better Marketing

Marketing an Alzheimer's Service

The value and earning capacity of an Alzheimer's service largely depends on the quality of its marketing efforts. But great marketing takes a lot more than hanging a shingle and hoping for the best.

Multiple marketing factors affect bottom line profitability. But there is one trait that stands out above all the rest in terms of its ability to deliver marketing success.

Purpose in marketing is the key to success in this space. High-performing Alzheimer's services achieve market dominance through the careful execution of deliberate strategies. Although you'll need to consider your company's unique marketing objectives, there are several tips we advise our partners to integrate into their promotional plans and strategies.

Mailings

It makes sense for Alzheimer's services 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. By investing in premium mailing lists for direct mail, email, and telemarketing campaigns, you gain the assurance that your lists are always accurate and up-to-date.

When It's Time to Rebrand

Rebranding can be the cornerstone of a successful marketing strategy. But unfortunately, many business owners choose to rebrand simply because they aren't sure what else to do. The most successful rebranding initiatives are the culmination of a deliberate process. In an Alzheimer's service, the time to rebrand is when your current brand is outdated or no longer in sync with the needs of the marketplace. All businesses change over time and rebranding can bring your business profile in line with your current core competencies. Unless you are confident that you possess the skills necessary to rebrand your business, we advise consulting with a professional marketing firm before you introduce a new brand to your customers.

Price Matching

Don't underestimate the importance of competitive pricing in this industry. Even though you've worked hard to create a unique value proposition, cost concerns are serious issues for buyers. The principle is simple: Since pricing is a primary factor in product selection, your business agrees to match advertised competitor pricing. Without price matching, if they can locate lower pricing from a competing Alzheimer's service, potential clients will abandon your brand in droves. Today's consumers are educated and informed. They use social media and other tools to identify the best pricing, making it imperative for small business to consider the value of a well-publicized price matching strategy.
