A renowned in-home care company for seniors and adults sought to expand its caregiver recruitment efforts and acquire new customers across multiple cities. With a focus on attracting highly skilled and compassionate caregivers, as well as gaining more clients for its services, the company turned to digital advertising to achieve both goals.
The Challenge: Recruiting Dedicated Caregivers and Acquiring Clients
As the demand for in-home care services grew, the company faced the challenge of recruiting qualified caregivers in five cities, targeting women aged 40-64 with healthcare experience. They also wanted to increase customer acquisition, expanding their reach in the local communities they served. The goal was clear: build a stronger brand presence, attract talented caregivers, and improve engagement with potential clients seeking high-quality care.
The Digital Strategy: A Comprehensive Multi-Channel Approach
Vici Media designed and launched a comprehensive online campaign in the fall of 2020, focusing on both caregiver recruitment and customer acquisition. The strategies deployed included a combination of targeted Facebook-Instagram premium display and video ads and SEO efforts to increase organic visibility.
