Is Your Business Marketing Plan 4 Updated With Omicron Scourge ?

January 14, 2022

 Do You Have a Care Management or Home Care  Marketing Plan For the Omicron Explosion?

 

Omicron explosion  Covid-19

How do you successfully market the safety of your care management or home care business during the 2022 Omicron worldwide surge?  How can you overcome customers’ hesitation to use your agency when Omicron still wildly spikes, variants may be around the corner, most Americans are predicted to get Omicron  as Omicron/ COVID surge all over the world

DURING OMICRON SURGE DID YOU EDIT YOUR MARKETING  PLAN?

 

Omicron Marketing Plan

During the Omicron explosion, your audience is everyone who wants to know that it is safe to use your services. So, how are you going to add that to your marketing plan? Will you have clearly defined COVID -safe policies on the front page of your website like Lifespan, a geriatric care management agency in Santa Cruz, Ca?

Will you use videos of your staff to show your agency’s commitment to COVID safety? How will you adjust your marketing plan during the omicron explosion to make clients choose you over the competition in your area?

During this worldwide omicron infestation, will you add a new COVID -19 Coaching service to help local and long-distance families understand how to keep their elders safe from COVID while sheltering in place, recovering from COVID at home, or going into the hospital and recovering after hospitalization?

 

According to the CDC, more data are needed to know if Omicron infections, and especially reinfections and breakthrough infections in people who are fully vaccinated, cause more severe illness or death than infection with other variants. So spreading your agency safety policy through social media, your newsletter, your website, and talking to clients is critical and it needs to go into the revision of your marketing plan ASAP.

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.

Other Ideas to Add to your e-newsletter about COVID

Warning about Omincron surge 

Include Videos in your e-newsletter like this terrific e-newsletter that Lifespan, a care management agency in Santa Cruz, Ca. uses introducing their staff products and services during COVID. 

  • Tell a story with the COVID safety you want to show future clients and their adult children
  • Use your i phone to record your video

  • marketing Covid -19 safety of your agency

  • If you are a care manager, include a list of great reasons that a client or customer should work with an ALCA or Geriatric Care Manager during the Coronavirus pandemic. ALCA members get this in a flyer “Why Work With An ALCA Member During A Crisis “.The Aging Life Care Association has huge resources for dealing with coronavirus impact on geriatric care management. This makes joining ALCA now a great idea in this lethal pandemic and its deadly effect.

Do You Use Videos in Marketing Your Staff Safety With New Delta Variant?

September 2, 2021

Will you use videos to show your agency’s commitment to COVID safety with the new highly transmissible Delta variant ? Online video content continues explode in growth and according to a 2020 study. 84% of people say that they’ve been convinced to buy a product or service by watching a brand’s video.  

Video can be a tool to add to your home care or geriatric care management  marketing plan to show the extreme safety protocols your GCM or homecare agency during the Delta variant Explosion of COVID19 to overcome adult children’s hesitation to use homecare and GCM services.

Why hesitation?

 

Older people still account for most Covid-19 deaths, and in many counties in the US, especially in the South and Mountain West, seniors without full vaccination make up more than 10 percent of the total population.

Even though the majority of seniors have been vaccinated, they now need a booster shot to prevent breakthrough infection from the Delta variant. This will only surge as the coming fall & winter makes everyone stay in the more risky indoors

So aging families remain very nervous about your agency coming into a senior home.

What families look for in your agency is  assurance of your staff’s safety- 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.

 

 

 As US clients are using  services like care managers and home care again, it is critical that you build that trust by showing customers you are totally CDC  safe. It is also important that you position your agency ahead of your local competition and that can be achieved through video. That can be achieved through using video video when your competition does not.

Videos are the new  powerful  Marketing Tool

The importance of video marketing shows in its growth to a $135 billion industry. Brands everywhere are realizing the value of video and creating them. According to ALCA’s 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. I have a YouTube Channel on Geriatric Care Management for years. I made most of them with an I phone.

However , I have gotten much more sophisticated and now two a videographers . An excellent one is Tapfilms , also used by Lifespan. A second is

 East Coast Studios  that does all my on-line classes in geriatric care management.

If you belong to the Aging Life Care Asso ( ALCA) use their excellent video marketing resources
