The business uses traditional print media via pamphlets and flyers however, it doesn’t engage in
signage or other digital marketing. This presents an outstanding opportunity for an incoming owner
to drive demand leveraging these channels.
The business has not been required to market itself as most of its admissions are word-of-mouth
referrals by the Medicaid or state health department.
