Our Marketing & Sales Assessment provides you with an objective, unbiased opinion about where you stand in the eyes of your customers, their families and your key referral sources.
FOCUS GROUP RESEARCH
Focus group research entails a qualitative approach to gaining an in-depth understanding of the values, motives, desires, and wants of a given sample of consumers.
MARKET SHARE PROFILE AND TREND ANALYSIS
Market share can make or break your facility. Undetected shifts in your market share usually spell trouble. To be successful on a continuing basis in the senior living retirement community business, it is not enough just to watch the bottom line. You need to be vigilant about how your market share is changing and from where and how your inquiries are originating. A market share profile and trend analysis study compiles and analyzes relevant characteristics of your existing senior living community or nursing care residents and sales leads.
SENIOR LIVING PRODUCT & PROGRAM TEST-MARKETING
Test-marketing, when properly done, constitutes one of the most cost-effective methods to evaluate the market for your project or programs while giving you a direct opportunity to participate in consumer research.
A well-executed test-marketing program offers benefits not normally associated with other forms of “pure” research activities. The benefits are: prospect mailing list development; marketing of the host organization; and direct client exposure with the target market. Of these benefits, the direct client exposure with prospective residents is very significant.
In most other forms of research, the client only receives information from a third party, the market research firm itself. In the case of an effective test-marketing program, the client gets to see, hear, feel and sense first hand the reaction of potential customers and residents of the proposed senior living community project or program.
