A good marketing program is necessary for your home health as the industry becomes more competitive. Its important to understand that marketing is not a singular approach. In order to succeed fully you should cover all your bases. This means, in person and online. Make sure your agency has a good web-presence because a lot the decision makers are going to be your client’s children. Also, make sure you have a good relationship with referring physician’s in your area because that is truly the start of the pipeline. It might be a good idea to show them how easy their life can be if you are using a software that is physician friendly.
