Hi all -
Thanks for your time reviewing the initial marketing plan; I will try and be brief.
New to the industry (3 agents), fairly well capitalized, and have spent about 6 months getting up to speed on industry dynamics. Would like feedback from some of the veterans on our AEP marketing plan, constructive criticism is appreciated.
Plan: 62 educational workshops in 6 weeks. Driving attendance through DM campaign (4000 pieces per drop, 3 events listed on each letter). Potentially considering TM for 65+ crowd.
Location / Venue: 5 counties in TX, booked 6 different restaurants in highest concentration zip codes (5 mile radius). Each has a private room (average cost with apps/beverages per event $178).
Demographics: Average T65 population for highest concentration zip codes (5 mile radius) is 500-700, 65-70 population is 5000-8000 when sorting by married/homeowners. Pulled lists from 3 reputable data companies, scrubbed to create one list.
Sales Copy: 2 letters written by professional copywriters, one for T65, the other for 65-70...CTA is attend workshop, 3 methods of RSVP (Phone, email, web).
Professionally designed website, clearly laid out CTAs and UI/UX experience.
The plan is to send the letters out so the recipients receive them 10 days before the event. Attendance goal per seminar is approx. 10-15. Close rate 80+%.
Thoughts? Happy to provide more detail if needed, I know everyone is busy.
Questions/requests..
What are your thoughts on DM educational workshops vs TM for the 65+ market?
Are there any threads or resources that offer best practices for TM (compliance, data, lead gen, etc.)?
What can we do to maximize our chances for having a successful AEP? (intentionally broad)
Thanks.
