WHAT'S GROWING ON

While targeting the family and friends of an older adult is a key focus for many senior living marketing strategies, you don't want to overlook marketing directly to the individuals you want to move into your community. You could be missing out on key opportunities to influence senior audiences and expand your brand’s reach by neglecting to do so.

When it comes to your senior living community’s digital marketing efforts, we know a lot of things are at the top of the to-do list. For example, build/maintain your company website, post to your social media accounts, send emails to your current and potential customers, manage your paid advertising efforts, etc. However, one marketing to-do item that often gets overlooked is business listing management or citation building.

Game rooms, libraries, on-site salons, restaurants and dining, arts and crafts studios - the list of amenities for your senior living community can go on and on. But, there’s one amenity that could set your community apart from the rest, and that’s a senior wellness program.

Search engine optimization (SEO) is a well-known phrase and practice for those familiar with the marketing space. It's about getting your website found naturally or organically when a user does a Google (or search engine) search. When it comes to general SEO, you want your website to get found regardless of a user's physical location, especially for news articles, online retailers, or other resources.

Storytelling is something that humans have been doing since the beginning of time; it is the best way to evoke emotion and communicate a deeper truth. Of course, as we have developed and advanced, so have our storytelling techniques. We now have the amazing ability to capture stories as they happen and have them permanently frozen in time. Not only this, but we can make these stories accessible to every person from their home, office, or on the road through the power of video.

As a digital marketing agency, Markentum has designed and developed our share of websites, and our priority is always on performance and the user experience. Therefore, when considering adding a page to your website, you should ask, “what value does it bring to the user?” OR “what value does it add to your website?”
