Marketing a Rape Treatment Center

The task of promoting a rape treatment center has to receive the highest priority in your organization. But what marketing techniques and strategies are successful in the current economy?

Although innovation is important, consistency is critical when you market a rape treatment center. In this industry, the application of fundamental marketing tactics is more valuable than promotional fads and gimmicks.

Business savvy entrepreneurs usually have a solid foundation in marketing. But to achieve your goals, there are some other things you'll also need to learn about marketing a rape treatment center.

Hiring A Marketing Firm

Eventually nearly all rape treatment center operations turn to marketing firms for guidance. Unless you have a marketing background, you won't be able to touch the ROI you'll receive from a professional firm. Does a marketing firm cost money? Sure, but not as much as you may think. When it's time to look for a marketing firm to represent your rape treatment center, experience should trump other considerations. Avoid young marketing firms staffed exclusively with inexperienced hot shots. Novice marketers bring a lot of passion to the table, but they also tend to embrace high-risk marketing strategies that lack the payoff you'll get from an established firm.

Managing Negative Publicity

Not sure how to handle negative PR? You're not alone. It's a probably faced by many rape treatment centers. The worst way to handle negative buzz is to put off developing a response until reporters are pounding on your door, demanding a comment from a company spokesperson. The creation of a quality, crisis PR plan and the adequate preparation of key stakeholders is a requirement for any rape treatment center interested in controlling negative messages. Since part of your crisis response may involve direct mail, we also recommend working with quality mailing list providers to obtain accurate contact lists.

Newsletters

Despite the unrelenting demands of generating content on a monthly or quarterly basis, a company newsletter has promising potential as a marketing device. Blatant marketing messages aren't appropriate in newsletters because they don't communicate informational value to your customers. Instead, your newsletter should contain industry news, product use tips, and other content that captures your customers' attention. These days, rape treatment centers to distribute periodic (monthly or quarterly) newsletters through a variety of online and offline channels. As an added bonus, newsletter subscription lists can double as mailing lists for direct mail or email campaigns.
