55+ Not-For-Profit Community, Hartford County, CT


GenM was retained to provide full service marketing communications, sales, lead generation, and operational support for a well-established 55+ not-for-profit community in Hartford County, CT. The community was experiencing steadily declining occupancy since the height of the COVID pandemic and due to increasing competition in the PMA.

Results

  • Lead Generation – in 9 months, GENM tracked 438 leads, an average of 44/month and a 450% increase over the previously tracked period of 4 months
  • Occupancy – during the same 9 month period, there were 17 move ins
  • Social Media – Facebook and Instagram reach increased over 5,000% and 300% respectively

Continuing Care Retirement Community, Hartford County, CT


GenM was contracted to provide a visioning, market research, positioning analysis and market intelligence report for a CCRC located in Hartford County, CT recently under new ownership. Our findings highlighted the discrepancy that exists between the median income of the PMA and that of the community’s existing residents. In addition, we provided occupancy data from a 20-mile radius which not only showed over-bedding, but also that this area is comprised mainly of rental only communities.

Results

Post-analysis, we were able to recommend strategies to address the market challenges and position the community for longevity.
