Videos are Great Sales Tool for Care Management

June 27, 2022

Videos Are A Powerful  Marketing Tool

Videos are a powerful marketing tool  .The power of video marketing shows in its growth into a $135 billion industry. Brands everywhere are realizing the value of videos and creating them. According to ALCA’s former marketing guru Courtney Pulitzer,75 million people watch videos every day and stunning viewers retain 95% of the message while watching compared to only 10 %-of reading text.

Use Videos In Your Own Care Management Marketing

Show your community your agency’s excellent safety through videos, done with a phone by a talented staff member. Take the example of Lifespan a 35-year-old geriatric care management home care agency that provides Quality of Life activities and adds videos about  Lifespan‘s Well Being Program. They upload them to their YouTube channel another great way they build trust with their agency. Market safety from Covid-19.

 Videos are not hard to make

You just need a smartphone tripod and a person to do the videoing Learn to shoot great videos yourself. Look at my latest video made with my iPhone.I have a YouTube Channel on Geriatric Care Management for years. I made most of them with an I phone. However, you may need some expert help. I have gotten much more sophisticated and now have two videographers. An excellent one is Tapfilms, also used by Lifespan. A second is East Coast Studios which does all my online classes in geriatric care management. If you join to the Aging Life Care Asso ( ALCA) use their excellent video marketing resources

Want to Make a Profit in an Care Management Business Home Care Business ?

April 20, 2022

Do You Want to Make a Profit As a Private Care Manager?

 

Do you want to make a profit in care management or home care you have to learn how you will make money? It must be serving VIP clients. You may start it to reach seniors in need. But, the reality is making a profit comes from serving the upper 10% or Concierge and VIP clients who can afford private pay. If you have a business and you are an entrepreneur, you need to understand” profit” and how to handle money and “like it”. Many GCMs do not understand this.  They end up going out of bankrupt

Do You Know the Customers You Want to Serve?

 

a VIP or Concierge client

To make money you must choose to go after the right customers. To start a Geriatric Care Management business PLUS to write a major section of your GCM business plan,

you must describe ” that customer” you intend to serve -your market assessment or opportunity. It tells you and investors whether you will have enough customers to make money. 

The VIP or Concierge client in the upper 10% is the customer you want. Why – Medicare does not pay for Geriatric Care management or ALCA services or Home Care . Only the top 10% can afford to pay you privately at 4-6 K a month for home care

Do a GUT CHECK

To make money you must choose to go after the right customers. To start a Geriatric Care Management business PLUS to write a major section of your GCM business plan,

you must describe ” that customer” you intend to serve -your market assessment or opportunity. It tells you and investors whether you will have enough customers to make money. 

Start with a definition of your ideal client. Example: A woman, 85 years old with chronic care needs who has an income or liquid assets of $500,000 or more. In other words, you must serve the top 10% to make money and thrive. Are you comfortable with this as an entitled demographic as a social worker or RN? Do a gut check now

You want to list the customers who will reward you the most financially.

 How many of these ideal clients are in the area you wish to serve to make a profit? You

need to do an analysis of the age and income levels. Generally, geriatric care management customers are over age 85 or are disabled younger people with incomes in the range of the top 10% in your community. Your customers are also the local overstressed adult children of clients, long-distance caregivers with family members who need help and live in your community, and third parties like Trust Officers who may hire you as a GCM such as trust officers, attorneys, conservators, or guardians.

 Know how you can make money by doing market research hot mapping & the census

You need to do market research to define the size of the market in the area where your business will be located (e.g., how many people over age 85 live in, Modesto, California, how many third-party target markets such as trust departments are in the town)?

This type of demographic information may be available from U.S. Census Bureau reports local Area Agencies on Aging, local chambers of commerce, local hospitals, and even members of the local media who have done their own surveys. You can use the Internet to retrieve U.S. Census data in your area, and in addition you can Google your State Department of Aging or Department of Finance and then find all senior services that may have data on older people in your area.

What is hot mapping?

You can also do hot mapping. A zipcode heat map outlines the boundaries of each zip code in your data set and helps you see the insights buried deep inside your numbers like where people with the highest income live in an area
