Costco and Hearing Aids
I have a long time client who is an audiologist (hearing aid lady). Her pitch is that she takes the time to fit and tune your hearing device, is local, and is knowledgable. Her competition are "hearing aid salesmen". No service, no smile. They sell you a hearing aid and that's it.
Costco is moving in to the area, and will have a "hearing aid salesman" in-store. My client is willing to service their devices, adjust them, clean them, etc. Sort of a loss leader, in the hopes (certainty) of gaining their business down the road. She has had good luck with this sort of an offering in the past.
My question: if you're in my/her shoes, how do you get ahold of / get in front of the folks walking in to Costco for their cut-rate hearing aid (which they will likely never be happy with)? Before or after they make the purchase doesn't matter. Hearing aids are finicky devices. If yours doesn't work "just" right, your quality of life can be significantly degraded. Folks, even those on fixed incomes without much money, pay well for such a service. The CTA's are plentiful. "Wish you could hear your grandson the first time?", "Trouble hearing the doorbell?", "Can't watch TV in the same room as your wife?", that sort of thing.
She is a Social Media / Youtube / SEO client, but I can work this into the budget and wouldn't mind helping her out. Anybody have some workable, but outside-the-box thoughts?
