Measurement Perils
“If you bake a cake for a party and want to figure out if your recipe was good, it’s only vaguely helpful to know that guests took 20 out of 24 slices. You still don’t know how many people ate the cake or how much they enjoyed it.”

ROI is a Better Way
• ROI: The amount of money you spend doing something, compared to the amount of money you get by doing it
• Expressed as a percentage
• For marketers, allows you to quantify your value

What You Need to Know
What’s a resident or home care
client worth to you?
Rent rate
Care rate
Average length of stay
Hourly rate
Hours of care
LIFETIME VALUE
Costs associated with each
resident or client
Or company-wide operating
margin

Formula for Calculating ROI
Customer Lifetime Value (LTV) – Marketing ExpenseMarketing Expense
or:
Customer LTV– Operating Expense – Marketing ExpenseMarketing Expense
**remember, it’s a percentage
What if you don’t know these things?
• Senior Housing Companies: ASHA says– $77,000 = lifetime value of IL resident– Average IL operating margin = 44%– $88,500 = lifetime value of AL resident– Average AL operating margin = 31%
• In-Home Care Providers: Caring.com data show $11,000 lifetime value of private-duty home care client
13
Marketing ROI Calculation (AL Example)
14
Average Monthly Rent $4,000 Average Monthly Care Charge $300 Average Length of Residence (in Months) 18
Lifetime Value of Resident $77,400 FORMULA: ($4,000 + $300) x18 = $77,400 Referral Agency Percentage 85% Cost of Referral ($4,000 + $300) x 0.85 $3,655
Return on investment 2018% FORMULA: $77,400 LTV - $3,655 referral expense
$3,655
= 20.18 or 2018% ROI
ROI Calculation: Profit
16
Average Monthly Rent $4,000 Average Monthly Care Charge $300 Average Length of Residence (in Months) 18
Average Operating Margin 31%
Lifetime Profit from Resident $23,994 FORMULA: $77,400 LTV x 31% profit margin = $23,994 profit Referral Agency Percentage 85% Cost of Referral $3,655
ROI Profit ONLY 556% FORMULA: $23,994 profit - $3,655 referral marketing expense
$3,655 = 5.56 or 556% ROI
What If A Resident Moves Out?
18
Referral Agency Percentage 85% Cost of Referral $3,655 Lifetime Value of Resident $77,400 Average Operating Profits 31% Number of referrals staying 18 months 4 Referrals who stay 3 months 1
LTV of referred residents $322,500 FORMULA ($77,400 LTV x 4) + ($4,300 x 3 months) = $322,500
Referral fees $18,275 FORMULA: $3,655 referral fee x 5 referral fees paid = $18,275
ROI on Profit from all referrals 447% FORMULA ($322,500 LTV of all referrals x 0.31) - $18,275 referral fees
$18,275 = 4.47 or 447% ROI
Calculating ROI From Cost per Lead
19
Cost per Lead $50 Conversion Rate 10% Lifetime Value of Home Care Client $11,000 Profit margin for Home Care Agency 25%
Number of Leads to get a Client 10 FORMULA: 1 client / 0.1 conversion rate = 10
Total Marketing Cost $500 FORMULA: 10 leads x $50 per lead = $500
ROI 450% FORMULA: $11,000 LTV x 0.25 - $500 marketing cost
$500 = 4.5 or 450% ROI
Evaluating Marketing Programs
• “It’s going to cost me $795 per month to advertise my community in the Yellow Pages. Is it worth it?”– 3 calls per month @ 2% conversion => one move-in every 2 years– Marketing expense = $795 x 24 months = $19,080– Expected profit = $23,994– ROI on a Yellow Pages ad = 26%
• Operating Profit – Marketing Cost / Marketing Cost• $23,994 - $19,080 / $19,080
But what else could you do with that $19,000?– 5 community events– 5 residents from move-ins referred by Caring.com
Add: Sensitivity analysis– What if you only get two calls a month?– What if the conversion rate is only 1.5%?
21
Comparing Marketing Programs
“Your leads are too expensive at $50. I can get leads for $5 from another vendor.”- A Caring.com prospect
ROI on leads is the same – but other costs change the picture

The Cost of a Vacancy
“You can hire a senior housing salesperson for the cost of 1.5 vacancies a month”- Greg Joyce, CEO of Legacy Retirement Communities, speaking at
Tony Mullen’s Advanced Sales Summit, June 2016
Annual cost of a salesperson: $40,000 Annual cost of 1.5 vacancies/month: $41,152 (1.5 x $88,000 x 31%)ROI on an extra salesperson = 3% • Operating Profit – Marketing Cost / Marketing Cost • ($41,152 - $40,000) / $40,000
But do you have enough leads for another salesperson?
23
What’s a Review Worth?
• Caring client with 100+ locations got 0.9 move-ins per year from listings with just 1-2 reviews, vs. 7 move-ins per year from listings with 15+ reviews
– Lifetime Value of a Resident = $22,994– 6 additional move-ins = 6 x $22,994 = $137,964 incremental revenue– 13 additional reviews – Cost of each review = $0($137,964 - $0) / 13 reviews = $10,612.61 incremental revenue per review
(your mileage may vary…)

In-Home Care Calculation
Fixed vs. Variable Costs– Caregivers– Schedulers– Office rent
For certain clients, discounts mightmake sense
27
The Other Side of ROI: Lost Revenue
• Lost revenue is the amount of money lost when a unit/bed remains unsold and vacant
• Units/beds can be left vacant for a variety of reasons: poor sales, inefficient marketing, not rent ready, converted to other use
• You cannot re-capture the revenue once it is lost because it is time sensitive (daily charge)
• Sales and Marketing is responsible to meet revenue goals not occupancy goals
29
Why Is It Important To Calculate Lost Revenue?
Why it matters and why we don’t do it:• Focus on budgeted occupancy
numbers
• Focus on underperforming communities, not the entire portfolio
• Month to month occupancy focus vs. annual year-to-date occupancy focus
• Speaking the language of operations
30
Calculating Lost Revenue
Total Potential Occupancy – Average Daily CensusMultiply by Average Daily RateMultiply by Days in the Month
= Lost Revenue
Calculating Lost Revenue
32
Step 1: Calculate Average Daily Census Community Units 100 Days in the Month 31 Total Days that the units are occupied 2,640
Average Daily Census 85.2 FORMULA: 2,640 days occupied
31 days in the month
= 85.2
Calculating Lost Revenue (continued)
33
Step 2: Calculate Average Daily Rate Total Units 100 - Studios 40, at $100 per day - One Bedrooms 50, at $125 per day
- Two Bedrooms 10, at $150 per day
Total Daily Value $11,750 FORMULA: (40 x $100) + (50 x 125) + (10 x 150) = $11,750
Average Daily Rate $117.50 FORMULA $11,750 Total Daily Value
100 Units = $117.50
Calculating Lost Revenue (continued)
Total Potential Occupancy – Average Daily CensusMultiply by Average Daily RateMultiply by Days in the Month
= Lost Revenue
100 units – 85.2 average daily census = 14.8 units vacant on average
14.8 vacancies x $117.50 average daily rate = $1,739 lost revenue/day
$1,739 x 31 days = $53,909 lost revenue per month
Using Lost Revenue Calculation To Drive Marketing Strategy
• Strategy to off-set seasonal patterns and trends
• Using lost revenue calculations to support sales concession strategies
• Justifying cost of third party services to drive marketing strategy and sales
