Summary: Home For Life Renovation
To: John Wayne President, CP Rochester
From: VP Marketing
Date: January 24, 2013
Re: Plan/Funding readiness
After carefully reviewing the service business expansion plan of Home for Life Renovations (HFLR) and the research survey results presented by Ignition Consulting, I would like to make my recommendation on marketing strategy that can maximize penetration based on the limited marketing budgets.
As the service business expansion plan states, “the ‘Baby Boomer’ generation continues to age.” Under this demographic background, aging people tend to remain in their own homes, and this trend is supported by the statistic that 100% respondents of the survey regard aging in home as important. As the foundation of a successful marketing strategy,

    six full time residents and has a meager online presence consisting of only a website. The owners have recently bought another house with the goal of creating an additional adult family home and will soon be in need of six residents and at least four employees. Their current marketing strategies consist mainly of word of mouth and printed ads in local newspapers. This business could greatly benefit from growing its online presence especially during this vulnerable time of expansion. There are currently over 73,000 residents in Snohomish County over the age of 65 (United States Census Bureau, 2013). Online marketing would make it much easier and more economical to reach a growing customer base whose online focus and technological prowess continues to increase. The real customer is not the elderly person themselves. It is usually their children, often in their fifties and sixties, who are in need of a safe environment for their parents or loved ones to live where they can be assured that a high level of personal care and medical attention will be available. The idea of expanding online would be to market the business to a larger number of target customers than current marketing techniques are able to. An expanding customer base would allow the business to choose it’s residents based on level of care needed, matching personality characteristics with current residents, and those who can afford private pay instead of State pay. State pay…

    Innovative brands of care facilities are being established to meet the needs of a diverse group of consumers in order to stay competitive in the market and appeal to a wider range of consumers. Moreover, in some instances giving family members an outlet through the use of an adult day care programs so that they can maintain employment. Many of the long-term care programs are incorporating innovative ways to keep family members involved in activities with their loved ones to build on and stay connected. Lastly, incorporating integrated health systems is a growing trend within the long-term care system that would provide the consumer with continuity of care. Although there are obvious inherent weaknesses the long-term care system has vastly improved by learning from and improving on their weaknesses. Unfortunately, greed has taken over as it often does in health care when services are not utilized strictly due to lack of reimbursement. Again, another scenario where a consumer may not be offered or receive a service due to the payer unless the consumer can pay out of pocket, which creates the potential for gaps in service. Another growing concern is an individual may qualify for a service; however, the service may not be available to them. This is one of…

    This week’s reading of Chapter 6 exposes you to several areas such as the consumer buying process, target marketing, market segmentation and a brief explanation of the differences between B2B and the consumer buying process As you will find in the readings, market segments are relatively homogenous groups of buyers. However, one thing the book doesn’t mention is what if these groups become smaller in size. Demographic trends greatly influence marketing segments and ultimately demand for goods and services.

    The industry in providing the older generation housing is constantly growing because of the increased lifespan of this population. As the Baby Boomers enter the retirement age, the older generation population is in need of a huge market of companies similar to Urban Innovations, which will provide these service-oriented products. Senior Care Marketer noted (as cited in FAQ, n,d.) “The senior care industry is booming and it’s just getting started as the baby boom generation cares for their aging parents and require care themselves as they transition into their own senior years. People sixty-five years and older represent the fastest-growing age group in the United States, and it is projected that the 75+ population will increase 70% by 2025.…

    As the baby boomer generation begins to reach retirement age, there has been much speculation as to what affect they will have on the health care industry. The baby boomer generation is the group of people born between 1946 and 1964. At one point, there were more than 76 million of them, of which 4 million died before 2000. With all this in mind, I will discuss what specific effects they will have now they are getting to that “elderly” stage.…

    The attitudes younger generations have of the elderly and the relationships they share, as well as perceptions older people have of themselves, are directly affected by stereotypes portrayed in television advertisements (Hillier & Barrow, 2011, p. 35).When the elderly are visible in advertising, it is typically in life insurance and emergency catastrophe product commercials. These ads implied that the elderly are feeble, stubborn, grouchy, lonely, ugly, helpless, mentally declined, and isolated (“Life Call Commercial,” n.d.). As a group, they suffered from immobility, illness, and frailness (“August 2004 Commercials part 9,” n.d.). By portraying the elderly in a negative aspect in advertising, younger audiences and senior citizens began to accept the stereotypical and an unrealistic portrait of aging (Hillier & Barrow, 2011,p 39-41).…

    Ads and Elders

    • 1529 Words
    • 7 Pages

    Advertisers will pay more to reach younger people than to reach older people. The youth bias perpetuates through the advertising industry because the advertising industry itself is a young business. Older adults are rarely seen in any type of mass media, including advertising. The mass media emphasis on youth and beauty is one reason older adults are ignored. Studies done during the 1970s and 1980s show that less than 5% of commercials feature any elder characters at all. Role portrayals of elders are often tied directly into the products that sponsor the advertising in which they appear. The primary categories where older adults appear are financial services, food and health. Each of these bring about a different set of portrayals. Elders are most often portrayed as retired or as persons planning for retirement, which is reflected in the frequency of their portrayals in advertisements for financial services.…
