Ideas for attracting new customers
Here are some strategies successful HME Dealers have used to fi nd and attract new customers who are in the
market for incontinence products.
• Fitness centers – Ask the facility manager if you can set up an information table near the entrance.
• Casinos – Consider placing fl yers on cars in the parking lot or work with casino owners to explore ways to
promote your business.
• Restaurants – Some restaurants are known for early bird specials that attract seniors. Consider promoting
your business on placemats or table tents (with the owner’s permission).
• Church bulletins – An inexpensive and often overlooked promotional tool.
• Senior expos – A great way to reach a large number of seniors all at once. Give away samples of products.
Differentiate yourself from other vendors.
• Street fairs – Renting a booth is often inexpensive and you can attract multiple generations at one time.
• Educational seminars – Ask a healthcare expert (nurse, physician, physical therapist) to speak at your
store. Invite current customers and ask them to bring a friend. The guest speaker shares his expertise while
you promote your store.
• Senior living centers and communities – Ask if you can set up an information table in the lobby as a way
to connect with seniors and their families.
• Online – Send email blasts to current customers (with their permission) or explore senior networking sites as
a way to promote in-store sales.
