Chengmei Medical - Positioning Research for Yiyang Gongsheng Sunlight City Project
Company overview
The Yiyang Gongsheng Sunlight City is a large-scale elderly and health care community developed by Hainan No.1 Investment Group, located at Changbin Road in the core area of Hainin's West Coast, with a total built-up area of 260,000 square meters. The project integrates premium elderly care, medical rehabilitation, health management, and leisure tourism functions. Guided by the concept of a 'Healthy Elderly Life Special Zone,' it responds to the growing trend of population aging and the significant market opportunities brought by the 'bird migration economy,' aiming to establish a benchmark elderly care project with demonstrable impact in Hainan. As a key strategic partnership project for Hainan Chengmei Medical Investment Co., Ltd., Sunlight City has been designed and planned according to international standards in terms of infrastructure, health services, and supporting systems.
Research background
With China's entry into an aging society and the increasing popularity of out-of-province elderly care, Hainan has emerged as a preferred destination for the elderly due to its unique climate, ecological environment, and policy advantages. However, successfully attracting potential clients to settle in an elderly care community depends not only on natural conditions but also on a deep understanding of the target group's needs, preferences, lifestyle, and psychological expectations. Particularly when addressing populations from traditional 'bird migration' source regions such as North China and Northeast China, designing a service system and marketing strategy that truly aligns with their needs becomes a key determinant of project success. Therefore, Hainan Chengmei Medical Investment Co., Ltd. has specifically commissioned a third-party research firm to conduct in-depth investigations to ensure scientific project positioning, comprehensive facility planning, and precise communication strategies.
Research scope
From November to December 2015, CEIDEA Research was commissioned by Hainan Chengmei Medical Investment Co., Ltd. to conduct focus group interviews targeting potential elderly and health retreat seekers from North and Northeast China regarding the Yiyang Gongsheng Sunlight City project. The study covered major cities including Beijing, Shenyang, and Harbin, selecting middle-aged and elderly individuals aged 55 and above with a clear intention to engage in out-of-province health and wellness retreats and stable financial conditions as the primary research subjects. The focus groups explored the following key topics: the public's awareness and acceptance of out-of-province elderly care in Hainan, their emphasis on medical rehabilitation and health management, expectations for community facilities and services, price sensitivity, core factors influencing their decision-making, adaptability to the 'bird migration' lifestyle, and their preferences for exposure and trust in promotional channels.
Expected outcomes
The research report will provide data-driven insights and strategic recommendations for the precise market positioning, product configuration, pricing strategy, and communication approach of the Yiyang Gongsheng Sunlight City project. The findings will refine customer profiles, clarify priority needs, identify key decision-making factors, and propose targeted product offerings and marketing strategies. Additionally, the research will offer actionable pathways for the project to penetrate target city markets, build a high-intent client pool, and drive sales conversion, thereby effectively enhancing the project's brand recognition and competitiveness among northern market audiences.
