Are You Marketing to Your Target MARKET the Concierge Clients?

April 12, 2022

Who is Your Target Market in an Aging Life or geriatric care management business?

26patient_600-1.jpg

 

Your Target market is the rich and famous people who are your VIP clients plus three other wealthy groups. The lower 90%, cannot afford you. They only call when there is a crisis and because of the cost and that crisis usually leads to homecare. Homecare costs between 4000-and 6000 a month. This is why you need to serve the Concierge Clients in that top 10%. The upper 10% can afford that according to Pew research, in this nation of broad income disparity, and 90% below cannot.

Demand and not need determine the success of an eldercare business like aging life or geriatric care manager business. This fundamental fact of life must be taken into consideration when developing a business plan for a for-profit, fee-based, geriatric care management business.

Who Can Really Afford Geriatric Care Management

Your target market for a private geriatric care management business is not the 65 million families who need those concierge care management services, but the much smaller subset of those families who are the Concierge Clients -rich and famous people-VIP can afford to hire a GCM or aging life care manager and a private duty home care agency and are willing and able to pay for geriatric care management services and homecare at 4-6K a month.

The Rich Have Gotten Richer

 This subset really represents the top 10% of the economic spectrum and more precisely among the Concierge Clients, rich and famous, VIP elders – the top 1% who actually held onto their share of national wealth in the 2008 economic crisis, gained quite a bit with Trump’s 2019 tax cut

During COVID President Biden remarked in his late April address to Congress. “At the same time, roughly 650 billionaires in America saw their net worth increase by more than $1 trillion . . . and they’re now worth more than $4 trillion.”

Omicron Gone Nuclear-Are you Marketing Your Agencies COVID-19 Safety ?

January 3, 2022

 

How Do You Market the Safety Of Your Agency with Omicron Cases Exploding Nationally?

What is the best way to show the Covid -19 safety protocols of your GCM or homecare agency with new Omicron surge exploding COVID cases once again?  You must overcome adult children’s hesitation to use homecare and GCM services. Why hesitation? Although about 62% of all Americans are now vaccinated -while— more than 87 percent of adults 65 and older — have been fully vaccinated, yet terrifying the public and adult children who care for aging loved one’s needing care at home —as  COVID exploding again with the highly contagious omicron variant accounting for an estimated 58.6% of sequenced U.S. virus cases in the week ending Dec. 25, as the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s Nowcast model showed, was up from an estimated 22.5% a week earlier ., 22% self identify as anti-vaxers,  So aging families remain very nervous about your agency coming into a senior home.

During this new COVID-19 Omicron surge what families look for in your agency is your Covid 19 safety of staff- the care providers, care managers, and office staff’s vaccination rate, your safety protocols, PPE equipment use, and evidence that you work with your local department of health, state and CDC to stay compliant.

DO YOU CREATE A COVID -19 SAFETY MARKETING PLAN?

Hygienic shield offering COVID-19 Saftey from omicron

A key element that goes into that marketing plan would be an e-newsletter, with a marketing campaign on your covid-19 safety  sent out in formats like Constant Contact   Survey Monkey  other choices

This will boost the clients you can serve, as the Omicron surge has made adult children and elderly clients are nervous to have visitors come to their homes, exposing elders

States and individual health systems have historically addressed vaccination requirements for diseases such as influenza and hepatitis B. You must follow your state’s COVID regulations.  Today, more than 2,500 hospitals, or 40 percent of all U.S. hospitals, have announced COVID vaccination requirements for their workforce. They span all 50 states, the District of Columbia, and Puerto Rico.  Potential clients need to know your care staff and care managers you use are incentivized to get vaccinated.
