They should look professional and be accurate and clear. You only get one chance to make a first impression. The brochures should match your website and your online presence. In addition to that, one of your biggest and probably the most important way to market your business is referrals. Getting the word out to other people who can bring business to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>How do you get referrals?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>When somebody is thinking about Assisted Living, they\u2019re going to ask someone they trust. who do you know? Where do you think I should go? If they have a friend that\u2019s in a care home right now, they can invite them over for a visit to see for themselves. We need to create and maintain those relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>There are professional referral sources.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are placement agents that refer seniors to homes. They went out and created the relationships. They typically get paid one month\u2019s fee for those referrals. That\u2019s expensive however if the bed was vacant last night you would have earned zero and you\u2019ll never get that revenue back.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>There are attorneys that specialize in working with seniors. Insurance agents that work with long-term care insurance. Financial planners that specialize in working with people\u2019s estates as they get older. They\u2019re the ones who are getting ask for a referral and they can direct those people to you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Hospitals and doctors offices are your two other primary sources for referrals. People don\u2019t go into a hospital for fun. They go there in an emergency or because they\u2019re sick and they need to, not because they want to. The hospital has doctors, nurses, and orderlies that are potential referral sources for you. It could be something as simple as having your brochure in the waiting room or building a relationship with the nurses and staff.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You can build offline marketing relationships yourself!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Imagine if you just showed up once a week for a month where you just bring in a flat of coffee, a small box of chocolates and a handful of brochures. Everything I just described costs about $25 or $30. &nbsp;I suggest that you go there once a week at about 10&nbsp;AM,&nbsp;when they need a little pick me up. Nobody\u2019s ever going to turn down coffee and chocolate. You just say, \u201cHey, just wanted to stop by and say a quick hello.\u201d Get to find out what their favorite coffee is. That\u2019s about $100 per month. You\u2019re going to get one, or two, or maybe many more referrals from that. Every one of them is worth thousands of dollars to you,<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It doesn\u2019t have to be you building those relationships either. &nbsp;It could be your manager or somebody that\u2019s got the personality and is willing to get the word out and build those relationships. Set a budget, give them a business credit card or debit card for these types of expenses to help build those relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Referral marketing is the best way to get new business in Assisted Living and Residential Assisted Living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>You can also subscribe to our iTunes for on the go listening:<br><\/strong><a href=\"https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/assisted-living-networks-podcast\/id1360517721?mt=2\">https:\/\/itunes.apple.com\/us\/podcast\/assisted-living-networks-podcast\/id1360517721?mt=2<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-layout-1 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/new.assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/44B.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-46\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/44B.jpg 800w, https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/44B-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/44B-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/44B-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/new.assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Hospitals-and-doctors-offices.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-47\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Hospitals-and-doctors-offices.jpg 800w, https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Hospitals-and-doctors-offices-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Hospitals-and-doctors-offices-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/Hospitals-and-doctors-offices-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"800\" src=\"https:\/\/new.assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/44C.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-48\" srcset=\"https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/44C.jpg 800w, https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/44C-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/44C-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/assistedlivingnetwork.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/44C-768x768.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is Offline Marketing?
