Senior care marketing for the adult child arranging care at home

Senior care marketing from MBI serves one decision — the in-home care an adult child arranges for a parent — for a multi-location in-home care, home-health or senior-care organization: targeted postcards carrying an information request, caregiver-relief and care-needs assessment campaigns written for the adult child, Facebook and Instagram campaigns that collect guide leads and remarket through the decision cycle, consent-based texting after a recorded opt-in, local caregiver workshops and virtual Q&A events that convert to assessments, and the printed checklists, guides and brochures behind them — planned, produced and delivered by a single team in DeLand, Florida.

Direct mail

What does home care direct mail put in an adult child's hands?

The short answer

Home care direct mail goes to adult children and active seniors inside the local service radius, carrying an information-request call to action. The campaigns it carries are caregiver-relief and care-needs assessment campaigns written for the adult child. MBI selects the households, designs and prints the card, and mails it.

The four campaigns. The campaigns named for this vertical are caregiver-relief and care-needs assessment campaigns for adult children; respite-care and post-hospital-transition education flows with referral partners; local caregiver workshops and virtual Q&A events that convert to assessments; and retargeting of service-page visitors with trust-building care-process content and availability-aware scheduling.

USPS Domestic Mail Manual 602.5 provides that each address, except for mail bearing an alternative address format, in a mailing at commercial First-Class Mail presorted or automation prices or USPS Marketing Mail prices is subject to the Move Update standard, and that each address and associated addressee used on the mailpieces in a mailing must be updated within 95 days before the mailing date with one of the USPS-approved methods, which include Address Change Service (ACS) and the National Change of Address Linkage System (NCOALink).

SMS

What does home care text message marketing send after a recorded opt-in?

The short answer

After a recorded opt-in, texting can qualify family inquiries and send event and nurture messages. Consent is captured before anything goes out, opt-out stays available at any time through more than one mechanism, and the thread stays inside what the family agreed to receive. MBI sets up the opt-in, writes the sequence and sends it.

The documented texts. Senior-living SMS can qualify family inquiries and send open-house, event, and nurture messages after documented opt-in.

CTIA's Messaging Principles and Best Practices state that message senders should support opt-in mechanisms and that messages should be sent only after the consumer has opted in to receive them, and list entering a telephone number through a website, clicking a button on a mobile webpage, signing up at a point-of-sale or other on-site location, and opting in over the phone using interactive voice response among the mechanisms by which a consumer might demonstrate opt-in consent; senders should also document opt-in consent by retaining, among other data, the timestamp of consent acquisition and the consent acquisition medium.

CTIA Messaging Principles and Best Practices, May 2023, §5.1.2

CTIA's Messaging Principles and Best Practices state that message senders should ensure consumers have the ability to opt out of receiving messages at any time, should support multiple mechanisms of opt-out including phone call, email or text, and should acknowledge and honor all consumer opt-out requests by sending one final opt-out confirmation message per campaign; and that message senders should not use opt-in lists that have been rented, sold or shared, but should create and vet their own.

Caregiver workshops

Who does caregiver workshop marketing reach, the caregiver or the adult child?

The short answer

Local caregiver workshops and virtual Q&A events are offered to convert to assessments, so the room is the caregivers the workshop is named for and the adult children the care-needs assessment campaigns are written for. MBI mails and advertises the invitation, and prints the family workshop kit, the flyer and the event program.

Built for. The buyer named for this vertical is multi-location in-home care, home-health and senior-care organizations with caregiver capacity, referral networks and family conversion teams.

Referral partners

What does home care referral partner marketing send, and to whom?

The short answer

Referral partners get the education flow itself: respite-care and post-hospital-transition education built with them, carried by a printed explainer and a referral-partner brochure. The same team that selects the addresses prints the pieces and mails them, so what a partner passes on matches what a family receives.

A transition, not a season. The decision this vertical's campaigns are positioned against is a transition rather than a season: respite-care and post-hospital-transition education flows are built with referral partners, and paid social introduces options before families start an active search and remarkets through the decision cycle.

One team. MBI is one company that plans, produces, and delivers direct mail, print, digital campaigns, and seminar marketing from a single team in DeLand, Florida; data, print, and delivery have been in-house since 1989.

Data, print and delivery have been in-house at MBI since 1989, so one team answers for the card, the guide and the brochure.

Questions

Questions an in-home care organization asks before it mails

Searched for home care marketing, in-home care marketing agency or home care marketing agency? Same work, same answers.

  1. Which campaigns does MBI run for an in-home care organization?

    Four. Caregiver-relief and care-needs assessment campaigns for adult children; respite-care and post-hospital-transition education flows built with referral partners; local caregiver workshops and virtual Q&A events that convert to assessments; and retargeting of service-page visitors with trust-building care-process content and availability-aware scheduling.

  2. What does the postcard to an adult child ask for?

    An information request. Targeted postcards reach adult children and active seniors inside the local service radius, carrying an information-request call to action, and the campaign behind them is caregiver relief and a care-needs assessment. MBI selects the households, designs and prints the card, and mails it.

  3. Why is there no list price for a senior care mailing?

    Because no two campaigns buy the same thing. Every quote resolves to two costs — producing the piece and mailing it — and seven decisions move those two numbers, among them quantity, format and finished size, paper, data and personalization, and postage. A card to adult children is quoted against all seven at /capabilities/direct-mail/direct-mail-cost.

  4. How does a family opt in before a home care agency texts?

    On the provider's own forms, before anything is sent. CTIA's messaging principles say messages should be sent only after the consumer has opted in, list entering a telephone number through a website and signing up at an on-site location among the mechanisms, and say senders should create and vet their own opt-in lists.

  5. When does a senior care campaign need a signed HIPAA authorization?

    When protected health information is used for marketing. 45 CFR 164.508(a)(3) requires a covered entity to obtain an authorization for any such use or disclosure, except a face-to-face communication or a promotional gift of nominal value. A senior care campaign here keeps health information out of ad targeting and unapproved messaging.

  6. What turns a workshop registration into a care-needs assessment?

    The event is run to convert to one. Local caregiver workshops and virtual Q&A events convert to assessments, so a care-needs assessment is the next step the invitation names. MBI mails and advertises the invitation and prints the flyer and the event program.

  7. What is in a post-hospital-transition education flow?

    Respite care, and what happens after a hospital stay. Respite-care and post-hospital-transition education flows are built with referral partners, and MBI prints and mails the respite-care explainer and the referral-partner brochure behind them.
