Research conducted by Leading Home Care and The Academy for Private Duty Home Care® shows that speaking in public to audiences of prospective customers is a highly effective marketing tool for private duty home care.  If your focus is consumer marketing, you can speak to groups of professional women, aged 45 to 65, who have an aging parent.  If your focus is referral marketing, you can speak to groups of potential referral sources.
