The importance of making a great first impression cannot be overstated, especially when it comes to presenting a product to buyers.
A VP of marketing for retail giant The Limited, Inc. has been quoted saying “In some malls we have seventy foot lease fronts. The customer, within eight-point-five seconds, is going to decide whether to walk into that store or just go past it.”
In my experience as a residential Realtor, I also found it true that clients would comment “this is the one,” within eight seconds of entering a home. The rest was just details.
How does this relate to senior housing? If owners are thinking about selling a facility, they need to know what buyers are expecting to see when they look at price per bed/unit, EBITDA, census, and payor mix. We want to counsel you ahead of time to make sure our offering package catches the attention of buyers within the “8 second” decision window.
