Persona

A persona is a semi-fictional representation of your ideal customer based on research and data. Personas capture demographics, motivations, pain points, and behaviors to guide marketing messaging and content strategy. Effective personas help create more targeted, resonant marketing.

How This Applies to Home Care Marketing

Home care typically serves two distinct personas: the care recipient (often a senior) and the decision-maker (often an adult child). Marketing must address both, though the decision-maker usually drives the search and selection process.

Common home care personas include: “Stressed Daughter Susan” managing long-distance caregiving, “Overwhelmed Spouse Ed” caring for a partner with dementia, or “Proactive Paul” planning ahead for aging parents. Each has different needs, concerns, and content preferences.

Key Takeaway

Develop detailed personas for your primary decision-makers and create content addressing their specific concerns, questions, and emotional states. Generic messaging that doesn’t resonate with specific personas will underperform.
