Unless faced with a crisis scenario, people take a long time to decide to move into a senior living community. A long sales cycle that requires consistent marketing to create brand recognition. You want to ease prospects into the idea of this major lifestyle change. Your biggest competitor is not always another senior living community, but the option of staying where they are. That’s why your marketing needs to educate seniors, and their adult children, on the benefits of senior living communities. This way they feel more comfortable with the idea. Comfort happens before you start selling them on the features of your community.
