The Top 10 Techniques of Highly Effective
Home Care Marketers

By  Stephen Tweed, CSP, and Jason Tweed

Question: How many home care marketing executives does it take to...
identify 10 proven techniques that grow businesses?

Answer:  177

That's how many marketing executives and chief executives completed our in-depth survey about the specific techniques used to market their businesses.  In 2004 Leading Home Care conducted a survey of the executives in charge of marketing for home health care and Private Duty Home Care companies from across the U.S.  The results of this study even surprised us!

We asked, not only what marketing techniques they use, but we also focused on what marketing techniques were most highly effective.  This research identified the current top 10 techniques based both on frequency of use and effectiveness.

  1. Networking and Community Relations

  2. Direct Sales

  3. Public Relations

  4. Continuing Education for Nurses and Other Professionals

  5. Broadcast Television

  6. Public Speaking

  7. Health Fares and Special Events

  8. Newspaper Advertising

  9. Involvement in Service Clubs

  10. Paper Newsletters

Additionally, we inquired about future trends in home care marketing.  Respondents identified three areas of anticipated growth and need.

  1. Direct Mail Marketing

  2. Web Site Marketing

  3. Electronic Newsletters

The result of this new body of knowledge is The Top 10 Techniques of Highly Effective Home Care Marketers.  This 90-page electronic manual can be downloaded to your computer today and immediately impact the way you market your products and services.  The manual features In depth discussion of all thirteen techniques, as well as an executive summary of the research study.
