Marketing to The Caregiver

The Caregiver is one that desires to be recognized. With that said, they do not want to be patronized or coerced into certain decisions or purchases. They are emotionally driven individuals that have the desire to help others.

Marketing to The Caregiver requires an intricate balance of marketing and emotions. Advertisements with gimmicks, or assertive language steer consumers far away. Trying to get attention is a major turnoff for the consumers.

They’re defined by their generosity, compassion, and their ability to serve others. While these traits are a large part of who they are, they also provide to their detriment. Often their willingness to serve others harms their ability to care for themselves, and they can be perceived as co-dependent.

The Caregiver will promise to protect and serve
