Buyer Persona Kit for Senior Living

Who benefits from the services your senior living company provides? How well do you know your customers? The value of buyer personas goes beyond marketing. Having a better understanding of who your company should be targeting enables you to provide relevant content that addresses the pain points of your personas and generates more qualified leads.

Personas allow you to identify where your customers are on the internet, so you can meet them there. They can guide content development, because when you understand your customers’ goals, you can create content to help them accomplish what they are trying to achieve and overcome obstacles along the way. Persona-driven content can attract the most valuable visitors, leads, and customers to your business.

Whether you’re starting from scratch or evaluating existing customer demographics, this kit has everything you need:

  • Detailed sample templates for common personas in your industry

FAQs

What is a buyer persona?

A buyer persona is a fictional representation of an ideal resident based on market research and real data about your existing residents. Buyer personas help senior living communities make decisions about their future residents, understand their residents' wants and needs, and develop tailored marketing strategies to invite new residents and their families into the community.

Why do I need a buyer persona for senior living?

The senior living market is unique and complex. It is important to have a deep understanding of target residents’ and their families’ needs, wants, and interests to effectively market to them. This understanding will help you create a marketing strategy that establishes brand recognition and positions your team as experts, helping older adults and their loved ones decide yours is the right senior living community for them. 

What should a senior living buyer persona include?

A buyer persona for senior living should include demographic information such as age, income level, location, decision influencers, and lifestyle. It should also include psychographic information such as interests, values, and motivations. Finally, it should include information about the senior's goals and needs, what their journey toward selecting a community may look like, and their preferred communication methods. By understanding all of this information, senior living communities can create marketing strategies tailored to prospective residents and guide them along their journey to selecting the senior living community that meets their needs.

How will a buyer persona help my senior living community market to residents and their families?

A buyer persona will help you understand your future residents’ and their families’ needs and use that information to develop targeted campaigns, create content that speaks directly to the senior living demographic, and help inform and guide their decision-making process. This content might include, for example, a guide to different levels of memory care or a quiz to help you decide if assisted living or independent living is right for you. 

How can I use buyer personas to implement a marketing strategy?

Once you have identified your ideal residents, you can use this information to create campaigns and content that are tailored to their needs. You can use this data to develop targeted messaging, optimize your website and marketing materials for the residents and their families, and create targeted advertisements.
