What Data Does Provides Focus Allows for Targeted Messages Allows You to Address Issues – Specifics Shortens the Conversion Time Reduces the Number of “Suspects” Allows for Product Refinement/Development Creates, if Used Appropriately, Differentiation Assists with Pricing Defines Markets Reduces Expenditures on Marketing

Marketing Behavior – Data Focused Consumption is both logical and emotional. We
gather data through sources to create a rationale for what ultimately, is an emotional decision.
Wants vs. Needs – Data is Used to Create a Consumptive Choice, Bridging the Two
In our Consumption Decision, we Seek Satisfaction. The Greatest Satisfaction Occurs when the Decision Addresses both Elements – Wants and Needs.
Data Helps to Discern Price and Value in the Decision.
The Greater the Degree of Price Elasticity, the Greater the Reliance of Data to Consume – Justification.

Behavior, DepictedI’m Hungry
What do I Want? Where am I? How Much Time do I Have? Money?
Snack? Calories?
Meal?On-the-Go?
Choices

Marketing Behavior - Demand Price Elasticity – products/services exist along
a continuum of choices, ranked from low cost to high cost. Demand for products is influenced by the range of substitution options at each price point.

Marketing Behavior - Differentiation Creating a unique understanding of the
benefits and features of a product or service. Brand Awareness/Brand Identity Positioning with Price Retailing Warranty and Utility Reputation Communication and Advertising Authentication Co-Branding and Affiliations

10
Misconceptions About Brand You can only build a portion of a brand – the
rest is built by your consumer. It is less a strategy by itself – it is more an
outcome of a series of smaller strategies. Data is required to build a brand. BRANDS are
tangible/must be tangible. Caution – Brands can be negative and
positive. Brands are NOT: Slogans, Images, Logos, Tag
Lines, etc. Brands are not One and Done – they require
maintenance.Data Driven Marketing by Reginald M. Hislop

Focus on CCRCs/Seniors HousingWhat do Prospects want to know?Meaningful?Irrelevant?
Knowing What Data is Meaningful….Key
Data Driven Marketing by Reginald M. Hislop III
12
What do CCRCs and Seniors Housing Provide? (needs and wants) Housing Services – everything from activities to food to
environmental services, etc. Healthcare Security Other? …..
Data Driven Marketing by Reginald M. Hislop III
13
What Data is Relevant? First, Who is the Customer? Second, Who are the Influencers? Third, How will the Data Connect to the
Customer and Influencers? Fourth, What Methodology is Available to
Convey the Data?
Data Driven Marketing by Reginald M. Hislop III
14
Conveyance and Cognitive Dissonance Cognitive Dissonance: The discomfort experienced
when two or more ideas, beliefs, values or emotional reactions are in conflict with each other. For most people, this is the largest barrier to a seniors
housing decision – the “I’m not ready yet” reaction. Data in a Marketing Strategy is Effective When
and Only When, it Reduces Cognitive Dissonance. Too much data, conveyed incorrectly enhances
dissonance. Data misaligned or out of context creates or enhances
dissonance. Not enough data enhances dissonance Data irrelevant enhances dissonance.
Data Driven Marketing by Reginald M. Hislop III
15
Reducing the Dissonance for Consumption Understanding what Factors Cause, for your
Product, Dissonance. Understanding the Needs of Customers
Unique to Your Product, for Equilibrium (reduction of dissonance, clarity of thought).
Aligning Purchase as a Solution Defining Value in Relationship to Cost
(regardless of the price tag). Leveraging Influence and Influencers – Others
Who can Reduce Dissonance.
Data Driven Marketing by Reginald M. Hislop III
16
Developing a Different Strategy Start: Evaporate all Current Conceptions!
BROADEST: Who is my Customer? Think Time Frames! Baby-Boomers are not Yet Here – These are Baby Bust Folks, War Babies! (2013 – 75 = 1938!)
When did they mature? What were the cultural norms? What was relevant to them?
Who are their Influencers and What about their Culture (now Baby Boomers become relevant)?
Existing Residents are Not “Marketing” Customers – they are Already Here! What Brought them In is Relevant.
Who Identifies with Who? What are YOU Known For? Is it Tangible?Data Driven Marketing by Reginald M. Hislop III
17
Think and Relate to THIS…. Customer Profile – Use a Bridge Reference
(company with a consumer product). What Can You Discern for Your Community? What then Can and Should You Learn More About? How Will You Learn it? Can You Make it Tangible?
Data Driven Marketing by Reginald M. Hislop III
18
Building…Part One You Know About Your Customer NOW –
Generally Speaking (Hypothesis) Try to De-Bunk What you Know – Be Contrary Refine in Detail by Testing (Dewey Method) Observe and Gather More Information Relay the Information Back
How? Use Touch Points – Events, Web, Mail – Things that
Require Response Confirm Through Other Sources Focus Groups Surveys
Data Driven Marketing by Reginald M. Hislop III
19
Building…Part Two Not About Selling Anything – A Catch and
Release Campaign Use Your Data to Draw Attraction – Events, Other Size-Up your Catch – Too Many Small Ones,
Keepers, etc.? Focus on What Worked vs. What Didn’t – Reduce
and then Expand Again Numbers, Numbers, Numbers!
Data Driven Marketing by Reginald M. Hislop III
20
Building….Part Three Create Strategies via Data
Three “Minimum” for Any Cycle Quality-Warranty Price/Value Outcomes/Satisfaction
Talk Directly to Your Customers as Much as Possible
Avoid Sales Language – Creates the Dissonance Be Direct and Tie Visual to Words Plan Repetition/Multi-Modalities Use Interchangeable Constructs Reintegration of Things that Work
Data Driven Marketing by Reginald M. Hislop III
21
Augmenting Data Avoid Testimonials Unless they Are External to
You (presumption is the testimonial is bought). Co-Brand/Co-Market where Alignment Exists Focus on Authenticity Draw Comparisons “Actively” Measure for Brevity – Less is More Look for Distinctions in Your Market – Strive for
Difference Use Unconvential Methods to Convey Data Draw Data Maps for Customers (A+B=C)
Data Driven Marketing by Reginald M. Hislop III
22
Relevant vs. Not in Seniors Housing Relevant – Price Structures Not Relevant – Price Building Amenities – Not Relevant Amenities that tie to Programs – Relevant Unit Sizes – Not Relevant Unit Layouts – Relevant Quality Data – Relevant The Word “Quality” – Not Relevant Non-Profit – Not Relevant History, Religious Affiliation, Mission - Relevant
Data Driven Marketing by Reginald M. Hislop III
23
Guerilla Marketing and Data Guerilla Marketing – Unconventional, Covert,
Surprise, Tactical Gorilla Marketing: Definition of the Same
Thing, Over and Over = the Same Results
Data Driven Marketing by Reginald M. Hislop III
24
Why Guerilla Marketing? Its Tactical and It Focuses on Differentiation –
Key in an Environment of Price Elastic Demand It is Data Driven – Strategies Evolve from Data
not Perceptions It is INEXPENSIVE – Cheap Per Touch It is REPLICABLE and ADAPTABLE in MULTIPLE
forms – the same data is used over and over. Self Sustaining – Data is Readily Available Focused on MORE Constantly – key to make
the numbers in today’s economy and industry trends work.
Data Driven Marketing by Reginald M. Hislop III
25
What it Takes to Go Guerilla Data – of Course. Being Edgy and Willing to See How Other
Universes Work – Ignore the Industry and Focus on Your Customer and How You Connect.
Being Willing to Ignore the “Sell” Side – Sales are the By-Product of Good Marketing.
Willingness to Leverage Your Org. Against Others and Through Others – Co-Marketing, Co-Branding, Etc.
Abandonment of the Conventional Perseverance – Sheer Desire to Exploit the Market
via Exposure and ConnectionsData Driven Marketing by Reginald M. Hislop III
26
Guerillas – Why I Know this Works Skeptical? You Should Be. Seniors Housing
Needs to Evolve and Become a Different “Animal”.
Companies that Thrive Today (Who is a Guerilla)?
Data Driven Marketing by Reginald M. Hislop III
27
Why I Know this Works - Gorillas Failure to Adapt and Evolve = Failure to Thrive
Data Driven Marketing by Reginald M. Hislop III
28

Want to Know Focus on Quality Data – Create Separation Recognize and Understand the Factors that Create
and Enhance Cognitive Dissonance for Your Customer
Don’t Over-Think This – The KISS Axiom Applies Become a Guerilla not a Gorilla Use Templates from other NON Seniors Housing

the Means to Get There!Data Driven Marketing by Reginald M. Hislop
