Four Categories of Promotion in Private Duty Home Care

What are the most frequently used methods for sales, marketing, and public relations in home care?

Which of these methods are most effective?  

How can you build a simple, effective promotional strategy that is sure to bring in new referrals that turn into admissions?

These are just a few of the questions we've been asking at Leading Home Care for over ten years as we have surveyed the home health, hospice, and private duty home care sectors looking for answers to help you grow your business and get ready for the future.

In our most recent survey, which began in the fall of 2010, we took a new approach. Instead of developing a list of techniques, and asking which ones you have used and which ones are most effective, we divided the techniques into four categories.

The Tea Ladies ... Building a Personal Brand in Private Duty Home Care
One of our favorite home care companies, owned and operated by some of our favorite people, is Partners in Senior Care in Grays Lake, Illinois.  We met Trisha Menoni and Angie Landmesser at one of our Academy for Home Care Leadership programs in Chicago many years ago.  At that workshop, they shared with us a copy of their "Tea Card" and told us the story of their company and how they built it. 

Trisha, the founder of the company, and her daughter Angie, had crafted a unique note card telling the story of tea parties and connection.  The "Tea Card" contains two tea bags glued inside.  This unique card tells the story and clearly identifies the company.  They have sent out thousands of tea cards, and have used the theme so frequently and so consistently that they are now known as the "Tea Ladies."
