What is marketing?

Marketing is the steps you take to promote and grow your small business. As a home health aide, marketing is how you plan to get more home care clients.

For any small business, marketing is about getting your business seen and building trust. Brand recognition hopefully means that potential customers think of your business when seeking home health care services. It can also position you as an expert in the field, someone they can trust with their care or that of a loved one.

Home Care Marketing Ideas

There are hundreds of ways to market your business. A home health care marketing plan can help you set goals for your efforts and measure the results. But, many home healthcare professionals (and small business owners in general) are unsure where to start.

Here are some ideas to help with your home care marketing efforts.

Establish Your Business Online

The internet is an essential part of doing business. This may be the first place clients look for home health care services, so if you’re not online, you may have difficulty getting more home care clients.

Online marketing takes different forms, including:

  • Your business website – This is your space to promote your home healthcare business. Remember to include information about your services and how to contact you.
  • Google business listing – Registering your business with Google is often an excellent way to be found by clients.
  • Social media – Sites like Facebook and Instagram are becoming more important for all types of businesses, including those in home health care. Choosing one or two sites to focus on might be a better way to reach customers than signing up for every platform.
  • Online ads – Advertising online through Google or social media can be a cost-effective way for small businesses to promote their services.

Consider Traditional Advertising

While the internet will likely be a vital part of your home care advertising strategy, more traditional methods might also give you great results. Non-digital ads could help you reach people not online, such as elderly patients.

Examples of traditional advertising include:

  • Newspapers – While more prominent newspapers may be expensive to advertise in, you might focus on smaller local papers instead.
  • Radio and Television – Advertising on radio and TV is typically expensive. This may not be a viable option unless your business grows to a point where you can comfortably afford to produce and run an ad.
  • Billboards – This option may be out of reach at first, but a well-designed billboard could be an effective part of your home health care marketing plan.
  • Mailbox flyers – Printed flyers placed in mailboxes can help spread the word about your business. You will need to carefully research where you want your flyers placed and choose a design that will get noticed (not just thrown directly in the recycling bin).

Ask Your Network for Help

If you’ve been in the home healthcare industry for a while, you may have a solid professional network that could help you get more home care clients. Word-of-mouth referrals are persuasive tools for small businesses and could become a pipeline of patient leads.

Word-of-mouth referrals might come from:

  • Current patients – Through word of mouth or online reviews.
  • Nurses and doctors – If you have good working relationships with other medical professionals, they might be willing to refer their other patients to you for home health care services.
  • Community leaders – Clergy, teachers, and other members of your local community may be willing to refer potential patients to you.

Get Out in Your Community

Getting involved in your wider community could also be part of your home care marketing plan. Meeting others in your local area can help you forge relationships that could lead to referrals and new patients.

You might consider joining:

  • Professional, small business, and industry clubs – Clubs can be an excellent place to meet other small business owners and those working in home health care.
  • Community fairs and events – Public events are great ways to build brand awareness and meet potential customers. You could set up a booth at health and wellness fairs, farmer’s markets, and other local events.
  • Volunteering – Volunteer work could help build a positive impression of your business. While joining a health-based event is ideal, any volunteer opportunity could be beneficial.

Growing Your Home Health Care Business

There are many ways to grow your small business and get more home care clients. A strong home health care marketing plan that combines the above ideas and others could help you continue to make a living and a difference in others’ lives.

I have been shopping for business liability insurance for several months. I am happy to share that BizInsure ranked #1! The representatives were polite, patient, and empathetic. They accomplished what most companies struggle with achieving: they did what they said they were going to do, they were on time, and they had empathy. They delivered a policy for 25% less than the closest competetor, and even included $50k of cyber security at no additional cost! I only write reviews when I receive exceptional experiences- highly revommended; keep up the great service BizInsure!P.S. I own a professional referral service in Hawai'i and I am going to see if BizInsure offers an affiliate program.Aloha!

I had numerous conversations with several business insurance agents over a month's time. I also had several conversations confirming the policy inclusion/exclusions and asked many questions. My BizInsure agent was professional, knowledgeable and most important—detail oriented. Even after having an initial conversation a month earlier he knew and *remembered* all my personal/professional insurance needs. When I asked for additional information on the third call he was able to provide me with details very quickly. He was also VERY patient. That is a big plus in my opinion. It illustrated a high level of respect for my needs. I also found when I called back and asked to talk with the initial agent, the person who answered the call was able to get in contact quickly and my agent responded and returned the call within 5-10 minutes. The transaction was smooth, and I think it's a good sign should I ever need to make a claim. I highly recommend BizInsure.

The customer service provided by Jose was outstanding. He explained everything in a very clear/logical way and answered all of my questions. After providing all the information to obtain general liability insurance, Jose sent me the declaration page of the insurance for review. All of the information matched what I provided over the phone and there were no typos. The next day I called back to purchase the insurance which was easy and fast. Overall, my experience with BizInsure including the customer service by Jose exceeded my expectations.

I can't say enough good things about Daniel Santos kind and effective communication skills as an insurance agent. Daniel was so pleasant, friendly and efficient with helping me obtain insurance as a teacher. If I were to give Daniel a grade, he has earned an At . He made the process easy to understand, it was far easier than what I anticipated. Nancy S.

Tricia helped me get insurance for my business. The task of obtaining a quote was really starting to frustrate me until I was referred to BizInsure through a different agency. Tricia got me a quote fast, and even took a down payment over the phone and issued the proof of insurance the same day. a+ service, would do it again in a heartbeat!! Thank you!!
