A transparent pricing strategy benefits senior living providers by providing accurate reliable forecasting and allowing for consistent billing and revenue flow planning, so they can make informed business decisions.
Transparent Pricing Strategy 02

To survive, and thrive, every industry must earn their customers trust. The senior living industry is no exception and trust is essential given what’s at stake. Every aspect of senior living is built on resident satisfaction and high touch quality experiences. Providers ensuring exceptional, consistent, and responsive services are just the beginning.

In addition to maintaining occupancy, attracting future residents by modernizing dining experiences and spaces, focusing on wellbeing and nutrition and implementing technology solutions, which are considered by leading providers a given – through our operating companies Unidine, Morrison Living and Coreworks, developing a transparent pricing strategy is critical. For CCL Hospitality Group (CCL), pricing transparency is one of the cornerstones of our approach – we are transparent, proactive, and intentional about driving results for our clients.

How Do You Emphasize Value with Price Transparency?

The value of price transparency allows providers to qualify more leads by reducing uncertainty and inspiring confidence in the providers ability to meet the needs of future residents. Additionally, when providers arm prospects with financial information, they not only create more qualified leads, but also decrease the conversion time. It also allows providers to better set pricing and fees and be more transparent in their overall revenue model, which helps with resident acquisition and resident retention. According to a poll by Label Insight, 94% of customers are more inclined to be loyal to a brand that provides transparency, and 73% are prepared to pay more for a product that provides it.

Price transparency also amplifies providers’ value proposition, making conversations with potential clients and residents more authentic and open. Whether it is a current resident who may be considering a change or attracting a new resident – pricing transparency reflects that you are focused on providing consistency for your residents. Through data and analytics, budget forecasting and technology implementation when partnering with CCL, you are showing rather than just speaking to your commitment – and as important – your ability to meet expectations.

Providers also benefit in several ways through a pricing transparency strategy that impacts their financial health. Pricing transparency allows for consistent billing and revenue flow planning, accurate and reliable forecasting so providers can make informed decisions, while also easing the impact of inflation and other sources beyond their control. Access to expert data and analytics strengthens budget forecasting, ensuring metrics and KPIs are met allowing providers to track trends and performance and if necessary, implement adjustments to ensure the best possible outcomes.
