How We Assisted A Senior Care Living Facility Capture More Patients With Geofencing

Client Challenge

A regional senior care living facility with a good reputation was struggling to find new ways to gain the proper brand exposure through advertising efforts. They were already doing Google Ads, SEO, and even TV Advertising in the local communities. They knew there needed to be a more direct approach to reaching loved ones or senior ready to physically transition into a senior care community. After learning about geofencing marketing, they requested our team at Propellant Media put together a comprehensive digital game plan that would help them drive walk in foot traffic, inquiries and tours of their facilities.

The Solution We Implemented

From the 4 plus senior care living locations we initially focused on driving foot traffic to, we thought a full funnel programmatic advertising plan was prudent to give all tactic added support:

Geofencing Marketing – We created a geofencing campaign targeting ER’s, hospitals, other competitor senior care facilities, and other core locations that became a natural transition point for seniors needing assisted living care. We targeted over 25 – 30 locations per each individual senior care facility.
Keyword Contextual/Search Retargeting – We utilized popular keywords such as senior living, senior care, and senior care near me to reach people across the internet that showed intent. We even utilized many of the top performing keywords the client furnished from their existing Google Ads campaigns and SEO work to ensure we gave it full coverage.
Site Retargeting – The site retargeting included a strategy that was centered on display ads, OTT Advertising and pre roll video. This full funnel strategy also allowed us to engage senior care audiences knowing they would be more engaged with video in comparison to display ads.
Conversion Zone Tracking – In order to measure conversion, we placed a view through conversion pixel on the client’s website in order to measure people who saw the ads and then came to the client’s website or converted on a particular page. But more importantly, we measured people who saw the ads and came to the client’s physical location. This is how we’re able to show attribution across Geofencing Marketing campaigns.

ur team was also able to implement our conversion zone tracking, enabling us to measure those who have either clicked or seen the display ads from those who walked inside of our geofencing targets, and measure those who came back to the assisted living facilities.

The Campaign Results

Over the first few months of the campaign, the results have been both powerful and encouraging to our team. Our team found a minimum of 60 tours/walk-ins attributed to the geofencing marketing campaign we ran in driving brand awareness and walk-in’s to their facilities. And that was over a 30 day period. As we continue the campaign for this client, we will naturally see a reduction in cost per visit.

Large Hospital System Fills Up Nursing Positions With Geofencing Marketing & OTT Advertising

The Challenge For Medical Marketing Recruitment

A large hospital system on the west coast was looking to recruit more nurses including CNA’s, Traveling Nurses, and RN’s. They haven’t ran Over The Top Connected TV Advertising or Geofencing Marketing in the past. Given the stiff competition for nursing candidates, they realized they needed to both build their own brand recognition amongst nurses while also focusing on those who are in-market looking for nursing positions.

They have utilized other platforms including Zip Recruiter, Indeed, and other channels they thought would give them exposure to existing nurses who may be interested in switching to their company.

After hearing about geofencing marketing, they didn’t know if it could in fact be successful, but wanted it to remain part of their omnichannel marketing efforts. We deployed geofencing marketing, programmatic audio, site retargeting, Google Ads, and a new tactic with Facebook/Instagram advertising in which we took our geofencing audience and pushed that audience into the Facebook Instagram Platform.

Marketing Mix For Nursing Recruitment Campaign

The team at Propellant Media developed a comprehensive 12-month strategy of geofencing, data targeting (nursing audiences), site retargeting, google ads, pre roll video, OTT/CTV Advertising, and facebook/instagram advertising.

Geofencing Marketing – Our team built geo-fences around competitor hospitals. We believed that their core audience was already working at these locations, so serving ads to them would give us more exposure to thinking about switching to another hospital system. We found additional ways to limit waste and prevent less ad serving to the patients.
Site Retargeting – In order to maximize our brand recall and those who visited the website, we developed a site retargeting campaign with a frequency of 6 ads served per day per person to keep them top of mind, not just to our campaigns but to other digital advertising efforts we were deploying including Google Ads and Facebook/Instagram advertising.
Pre Roll Video – Despite utilizing static display ads, we also deployed pre roll video with a nice testimonial video of one of the workers who’s been with the company for over 1 year further solidifying social proof and and adding another layer of creative ads to the mix.
OTT/CTV Advertising – Utilizing the same video ad types, we were able to gain exposure via streaming apps and websites with 15 and 30 second ad spots.
Google Ads – As part of our omnichannel marketing company, we went after in-market terms such as:
- cna jobs near me
- nursing jobs near me
- RN jobs near me
Facebook/Instagram (New Tactic) – Our team developed a proprietary method that allows us to use our existing geofencing marketing platforms, build our geofencing audiences on those platforms, and push those audiences into Facebook and Instagram. We’re not talking about building 1-mile radii circles on Facebook. We’re talking about utilizing our current platforms and saving that audience in the Facebook Meta Ad Manager.

How A MedSpa Leveraged Facebook Geofencing Ads To Achieve A $15 Cost Per Conversion

The Challenge

A local medspa in Los Angeles, CA as you can imagine deals with a ton of competition. There are more medspas in LA than any other city in the United States. They were rejected by Google Ads meaning they can’t use Google to advertise their medspa. They have had some moderate success with Facebook & Instagram advertising. But those were the core digital advertising tactics they used to gain exposure and drive traffic to their healthcare medspa.

After engaging with another agency that is partnered with Propellant Media to bring geofencing marketing to their brand, we were up to the challenge to see how our platform could target people most likely to express interest in medspa related services such as lip injections, laser fat removal, and other similar services.

As we continued to consult with the client, we learned they were doing some Facebook Instagram advertising with moderate success. Given our proprietary system of taking our geofencing audiences and pushing them into their Facebook Ads Manager, they also allowed our team to test this new system on their practice.

Solution

After conducting a discovery meeting with the agency partner, the team at Propellant Media developed a comprehensive strategy of geofencing, site retargeting, and Facebook/Instagram geofencing to drive performance for the Medspa

Geofencing Marketing – Our team built geo-fences around 13 competitor medspa’s in the area. We also hit other shopping locations where we felt our core demographic frequented, but we still focused the bulk of the budget to the 13 competitor rejuvenation medspa’s.
Site Retargeting – In order to maximize our brand recall and those who visited the website, we developed a site retargeting campaign with a frequency of 8 ads served per day per person to keep them top of mind, not just to our campaigns but to other digital advertising efforts they were deploying including Google Ads and Facebook/Instagram advertising.
Facebook/Instagram Geofencing – Utilizing the same geofencing audience we were serving ads to via our programmatic ad exchanges, we utilize our proprietary method of pushing that audience to Facebooks & Instagram. Overall, the process encompassed:
- Ensuring the client had a Facebook pixel on their website
- Our team having access to their existing Facebook Ads manager
- Our team having access to their Facebook Page

This enabled us to ensure we could build the impression based audience in our programmatic geofencing platform and utilize that same audience in Facebook and Instagram. To be clear, this is not simply a list of people who clicked on the clients ads. This is an audience of people who were served an impression via our programmatic ad exchanges and serve that same audience on Facebook/Instagram.

Results

This medpa has experienced great results in a short period of time totaling 3 weeks. Our team delivered 116,000 million impressions, 1200 clicks, but most importantly, 8 geo-fence conversions, measuring the number of users came to their location after seeing an ad.

facebook geofencing instagram But just as important as that was the 8 conversions we drove from our geofencing campaign audience we build for the client in their Facebook Ads manager. Our cost per conversion came out to be $15.00 and our CTR was 4.02%…3 – 4X better than the existing campaigns the client was running.
