6 Actionable Tips Every Healthcare Marketer Needs to Try Out Right Now

August 23, 2022 By John Pritchard

Marketing is a must for any company that not only wants to keep its head above water but wants to thrive in any economy. 

But like the economy, marketing best practices don’t remain static. There is ebb and flow, depending on: 

  • The age of your target market
  • World events
  • The goals of your customers

To ensure you get the growth you want and avoid wasting time and money on ineffective marketing techniques, we’re sharing six tips in healthcare marketing. These tips will help you stay at the top of your customer’s minds and attract new ideal customers. 

6 Up-to-Date Tips in Healthcare Marketing

The advertising and marketing tactics of the 1950s and 1960s are not as effective in the 21st century. But even the tactics of the past few years can prove to be ineffective and make your company seem outdated, which is why it’s vital to stay up to date on the latest marketing trends.

Here are some of the best tips in healthcare marketing for 2021. 

1. Focus on Quality Rather Than Quantity 

Yes, posting often is helpful. It can move your content up the Google chain and help put your content in front of your audience more often on social media. 

However, if you post sub-par content just to post often, you risk your reputation. Potential customers might think that if healthcare suppliers are not willing to post quality content, why would they make quality physician office supplies, equipment, or PPE products?

Taking care to create quality blog posts, videos, and social media posts that are educational, informative, and appeal to your customer’s wants and needs can make your content stand out. 

2. Address the Changes/Advances in the Healthcare System 

Each year, we hear of incredible innovations like AI assisting (or completely performing) with certain medical procedures, as well as technology that helps doctors and their teams educate patients in-office. Or next-generation applications like Infervision, which utilizes AI to help radiologists/doctors diagnose lung conditions faster, including cancer and COVID-19. Downloads of apps like this are expected to reach nearly 300 billion by 2023.

Your customers are interested in this technology. They know that utilizing it in their practices or hospitals can help them improve patient care and even see more patients each day. 

Blogs, videos, or social media posts about the advancements in healthcare can help you attract attention. Plus, you can impress your customers by providing useful, educational information about the technology they’re interested in, especially if it’s in easily digestible increments.

3. Utilize Videos

According to Hubspot.com, 97% of marketers state that video posts help them explain their products in a way that’s easier for their audience to understand. 

Another benefit of video is that many people are visual learners. Reading blogs is helpful but when they see videos, they’re more likely to retain the information. 

Video is also a fast way to show the benefits or superiority of your products.  

4. Incorporate Multi-Channel Marketing Initiatives

Your customers are omnichannel. They shop from their desktop computer, tablets, and phones. The more initiatives you can provide, the better. Options include: 

  • Contact forms
  • Your phone number prominently displayed
  • Text messaging
  • Chatbots

All these options help create a unique user experience and promote engagement. You appeal to people who love to do things the old-fashioned way (telephone calls), as well as those who love to reach out to their favorite brands on various social media platforms. 

5. Regularly Refer to Your Brand Pyramid

A brand pyramid answers questions about your brand and audience. The visual can be shared with your entire marketing team or organization to make sure everyone is on the same page. 

Referring to your pyramid regularly during your content strategy sessions can help: 

  • You come up with content ideas
  • Make sure your posts are on-brand

If your messaging is consistent, you’re more likely to build a loyal following – individuals and companies who are more likely to invest in your products. 

Your pyramid will include five levels: 

  • Functional benefits: What are your customer’s problems or pain points? Why would a potential customer be interested in your product? How does it help them? What kind of results can they expect?
  • Emotional benefits: How will your customer feel after using the product?
  • Brand/product persona: If your brand was a person, what values would be important to them? How can these core values be expressed in your marketing materials? 
  • Brand idea: This is why your customers care about your brand. It’s the DNA of your brand – what you stand for and what sets you apart from similar companies.

6. Manage Your Online Reputation 

It’s estimated nine out of 10 consumers check online reviews before making a purchase. If you don’t have a good online reputation, you can bet that you’re losing out on some sales. 

Thankfully, you can remedy this situation by managing your online reputation. One way to do this is to respond to comments on social media or review websites. If the feedback was negative, make sure to be gracious. Thank the person for their honest feedback. Show that you’re willing to discuss the matter further in private, either to offer them a refund or otherwise help them. 

You can also answer customer questions on social media platforms. Again, if you receive a negative comment, thank them for their feedback, apologize for any inconvenience, and try to work out a solution. Not only will this improve their opinion of you and build trust, but it will also impress others who are watching the conversation unfold. Customer service is incredibly important to your reputation and ultimately, to your bottom line.

How to Cut Through the Noise with the Latest Marketing Best Practices

Have you done a Google search lately? If so, you might’ve found it a bit disconcerting. For just about every search, it seems there are thousands (if not millions of options). You might feel even more discouraged knowing that a lot of people won’t take the time to scroll past the first page of results.

Keeping yourself and your marketing team up to date on the latest marketing practices can help improve your visibility. Implementing modern tips in healthcare marketing – like incorporating voice search or click-to-call options – can make you more attractive to your target audience, too.

It will take some time and effort to learn the latest best practices – but ultimately, it will be worth it!

Create B2B Medical Content Your Audience Actually Wants to Read

August 22, 2022 By Scott Adams

A well-researched, 1,400-word blog post can take four hours to write, in addition to the hours you invest in content planning and analysis. Most marketers are willing to make this investment in their B2B medical content because it offers a valuable opportunity for generating and converting leads. These benefits start with quality content your audience wants to read.

Learn steps you can take to ensure the content you create is what your audience is interested in.

Key Takeaways:

  • Content creation starts with a strong topic that doesn’t have too much competition
  • Use an attractive and easy-to-navigate format
  • Keep your topic focused on your audience and the specific challenges they face

What Makes B2B Medical Content Creation Challenging?

Every day, content creators publish over six million new blog posts. If your audience isn’t interested in your content, they have dozens of other options. Marketers struggle to make their content stand out from competing articles and media.

Marketers often treat search engine optimization (SEO) as the golden ticket to success. However, over 90% of online pages don’t see any traffic. SEO is still a profitable healthcare marketing technique, but you need more research and effort to use it successfully by creating relevant content your audience responds to.

Healthcare professionals lead hectic lives, especially due to staffing shortages and supply chain delays. As a result, they don’t have the time they used to for reading online content unless that content offers advice and information that can improve their job.

Despite these challenges, healthcare content marketing is rising because you can cut through the noise and encourage your target audience to read your media if you use the right strategies.

5 Tips for Creating Engaging B2B Medical Content

Use these five tips to create quality and relevant B2B content your audience wants to read.

1. Pick a Relevant Topic

Your content starts with a strong topic choice that’s relevant yet not overused.

Relevant topics aren’t just content that addresses your niche. They are topics your audience is actively researching. You can find several content ideas by performing a search on your industry and looking at related searches.

You can also find popular searches in your niche using keyword research tools like SEMrush or Moz. These tools list over 1,000 topics and details on each topic’s competition. You can see who else is using that keyword, what sites are ranking high, and what similar opportunities are available.

Example of keyword research results

When choosing topics, look at the top-ranking content to see what is currently ranking well for keywords in that topic. Then, find a way to create an improved version of that content that offers more information, updated statistics, or higher quality content. This way, you can improve your chances of ranking well while providing content you know readers want to read since similar content is already receiving traffic.

2. Create a Supporting Layout

The longest proper sentence in the world is 1,287 words from William Faulkner’s novel Absalom, Absalom. While most marketers won’t be writing sentences as long as this blog post, they commit several other avoidable formatting mistakes that can make content just as challenging to read as one long sentence.

Your readers will be on phones, laptops, and tablets. To support all scrolling formats and make your content easy to skim and break it up with plenty of headlines, lists, and subheaders. These allow your readers to jump to the most relevant information or quickly read the content if they’re in a hurry.

You can also make your content more visually appealing by inserting images, charts, and videos. Consider using alternative formats for your content, like medical ebooks or whitepapers. These can convey longer pieces of content like case studies in an easier-to-read format than blog posts.

3. Keep Your Content Consistent

A consistent voice in B2B content marketing ensures brand consistency. It ties your content together and offers your audience a more positive reading experience. Companies with a consistent voice also saw a 33% increase in revenue.

For example, if you are an informal brand, you should continue using contractions, casual language, and a personable approach in all your articles. If you suddenly sound like an entirely different person, readers might question your reliability or lose interest in your content.

Your branding should also remain the same. This includes the format of your blog articles, colors, and fonts. In addition, the phrases you use to talk about your brand should be consistent. For example, if your primary value proposition is your reliability, continue repeating similar words that emphasize that feature. This provides a unified brand message to your audience and builds trust with them. 

Trust is one of the main reasons your audience will continue reading your content and purchasing from your brand.

4. Focus on the Reader Rather Than the Topic

Keep your content reader-focused rather than topic-focused. In other words, talk more about why the topic applies to your audience rather than just providing information.

For example, you might address a pain point by covering medical supply chain issues. However, you can increase your reader’s interest in your content by connecting it directly to their challenges with the supply chain. For instance, you might list ways they can improve their supply chain issues.

5. Always Keep Your Content Updated

Fresh content ranks higher than outdated topics. With the influx of online content, your readers can always access the latest information. While an article you published a few years ago saw thousands of readers, you won’t generate the same readership today.

Review some of your most popular articles and update them with new statistics and information. This won’t take as long as rewriting the article because you already have a solid framework. It only requires a slight facelift to stay relevant and rank well in searches.

You can also write the same topic each year. For example, several leading businesses publish annual reports and research. These reports don’t replace the previous year’s publications. Instead, they add another piece of content that can rank online with the latest information.

For example, if you published an article on “The Best Medical Supplies for 2021,” consider writing another piece this year titled “The Best Medical Supplies for 2022.”

A Quick Guide to Healthcare Content Marketing

August 16, 2022 By Scott Adams

Healthcare content marketing faces unique challenges. Marketers must communicate about complicated topics while maintaining a level playing field with real-world medical experts. There’s no room for error, and the target audience has little tolerance for fluff and filler. Marketers also must keep in mind regulatory guidelines regarding healthcare advertising and marketing, such as HIPAA.

Creating impactful content marketing in this context can be tricky. However, expertly crafted, well-executed content can still create value for target audiences, engage existing clients, and capture new consumers’ interest. This, in turn, can generate leads, boost business, and drive the bottom line.

Healthcare Content Marketing Today

Understanding the current healthcare landscape is the first step for marketers who want to harness the power of content. According to the 2020 State of Healthcare Content Marketing report, which surveys healthcare leaders nationwide, 89% of healthcare organizations today engage in some form of content marketing. Popular media formats among healthcare content marketers included infographics, videos, newsletters, social media, blogs, and illustrations.

The increased acceptance of modern tactics like social media is great news. Healthcare can be a traditional industry, hesitant to pursue cutting-edge marketing strategies (due in part to the challenges mentioned in the introduction, e.g., regulatory hurdles). Thus, the sector tends to lag behind others in digital marketing adoption and has only started playing catch up in terms of digital transformation.

So, seeing healthcare organizations report using tools like social media is big news. However, the report also raised a major red flag that’s cause for concern. Although the vast majority of organizations are using content marketing, only 28% report having a document content strategy in place. Thus, it should come as little surprise that organizations are failing to see a solid return on investment (ROI) for content marketing. Some 23% of survey respondents report a lack of health content marketing success.

Real-World Examples of Successful Healthcare Content Marketing 

So, what makes for successful healthcare content marketing? One of the best ways to answer this question is to look at real-world examples of companies getting it right. We’ve highlighted some of our favorites below. These examples share a few key traits that make them stand out. They tend to be:

  • Creative and driven by original content.
  • Intentional and results-oriented, with a clear goal (e.g., getting the target audience to use a hashtag to spread a message).
  • Information-based, sharing value-added, exciting content.

See what we mean below.

Johnson & Johnson Medical Devices Vertical

J&J features a dedicated medical devices vertical that provides detailed information about the company’s various supply specialties across orthopedics, surgery, interventional solutions, and vision care. The vertical takes a personalized approach, using direct address (“you”) to engage the reader.

Johnson & Johnson demonstrates how content marketing can make creative use of diverse formats – it’s not just about creating chunks of text. Take this device page devoted to the Trumatch® Graft Cage – Long Bone, for example. The page includes an illustrated timeline of device implementation, from the patient’s arrival in the emergency room to the TruMatch implantation and follow-up. 

The content messaging is clear and stresses innovation, as this device is 3-D printed to accommodate the patient’s body. This messaging is consistently upheld across the platform. For example, scrolling down on the main page, the reader comes across the brief tagline “Medical Devices: 130 Years of Innovation.”

Mayo Clinic “Sharing” Patient Stories Blog

The Mayo Clinic’s Sharing blog shows how adding personalization to healthcare content can enhance influence and impact. This insightful blog features stories from real-world patients and their loved ones – and the healthcare professionals who treat them. The narrative style allows for emotional impact and creates a connection with the audience. However, every story is backed by fact-based evidence.

For example, take the story of Gayle Wilkerson, who has lived for a decade thanks to a left ventricular assist device (LVAD). This is a milestone that very few people have achieved. Medical devices can seem impersonal, and language like “LVAD” can be alienating. However, the interview with Ms. Wilkerson, who lives with congestive heart failure, literally gives this cutting-edge medical device a face.

Cleveland Clinic “Health Essentials” Information Platform

The Cleveland Clinic is another respected source of public health information trusted by healthcare professionals, suppliers, payors, and non-specialists alike. The Health Essentials content platform covers everyday topics “normal” people wonder about, from how to relieve stress to the utility of dry brushing and the possible health benefits of apple cider vinegar.

A comprehensive health library supplements this more informal content. Here, users can search medical questions and answers by keyword. There is also a dedicated vertical for medical devices. For example, if you input “asthma” into the search on the “Drugs, Devices & Supplements” page, you get various suggestions – including results for different types of dry powder inhalers.

The dedicated page for each type of device provides intricate detail. Here’s the page for the Dry Powder Inhaler (DPI): Diskus® as an example. It includes simple explanations, images, step-by-step usage instructions, and maintenance details.

GE Healthcare

GE is a significant provider of medical devices, from radiology to ultrasound machines. Their healthcare platform provides valuable information about their products. However, it also uses effective content marketing by purposefully engaging the website visitor and requiring them to get actively involved. Scrolling down on the main page, you’ll see how people are encouraged to take action.

The promotion for the Vscan Air™ handheld ultrasound device encourages you to “Visit the Experience.” When you click, you’re taken to a dedicated page that incorporates real-world interviews with healthcare professionals, a docuseries, and hashtags you can use to push out the page (#VscanAirFirstLook, #GEfortheFrontlines, #POCUS).

This is a fantastic example of how creative you can get with healthcare content marketing. Creating a streaming docuseries is a genuinely innovative way to capture people’s attention and raise awareness about new medical device products.

Social Media Isn’t Enough: Why You Need Content to Feed Your Media Mix

August 15, 2022 By Scott Adams

Social media is an effective way to connect with and engage your online audience. However, when it comes to an impactful content marketing strategy, social media isn’t enough. 

Today’s consumers spend nearly 3 hours a day on social media. It’s a great way to reach a highly targeted audience with custom messages, and users can share information easily for an even broader reach. But social media posts are just one aspect of a successful content marketing strategy. To reach more people in the healthcare supply chain, medical sales, and hospital purchasing, you should create an omnichannel media mix that will attract attention, drive traffic to your site, and generate revenue.

Keep reading to learn about content marketing and why social media isn’t enough to feed your media mix.

Quick Takeaways

  • Content marketing is the creation and distribution of information that provides tailored solutions and answers to users’ unique needs.
  • Social media should be one element of an omnichannel content marketing strategy.
  • There are five main reasons why social media isn’t enough for a successful content marketing strategy, from limited visibility to hindered conversions.

What Exactly Is Content Marketing?

Content marketing is the creation and distribution of useful information that answers users’ specific questions and addresses their unique needs. Forms of content marketing include:

  • Email campaigns
  • Blog articles
  • Social media posts
  • Videos
  • Newsletters
  • Print materials (like direct mail and brochures)

Today’s consumers are more discerning than ever before. With the help of the internet, they’re able to conduct their own research and find the brands and products they feel will best meet their needs. For this reason, content marketing is extremely important. Content that resonates with readers delivers numerous benefits. It helps to:

  • Raise brand awareness
  • Set you apart from the competition
  • Deliver valuable resources to your readers
  • Establish your business as a thought leader
  • Provide expert information
  • Drive traffic to your site
  • Solidify brand loyalty and repeat business

Content marketing is an impactful way to establish and foster relationships on a deeper level. People will think of your business for their solutions and will be more likely to recommend you to their network of contacts. This helps build a successful media mix that drives business, increases sales, and continues to grow your company. 

The following video explains the ins and outs of content marketing and the best approach for optimal results:

5 Reasons Why Social Media Isn’t Enough

Although social media is an effective channel to incorporate into your content marketing plan, it cannot singlehandedly sustain your efforts. Here are five reasons why social media isn’t enough.

1. It Doesn’t Reach Your Entire Audience

It’s true that 82% of the U.S. population actively uses social media. However, by using social posts as your sole means of content distribution, you could exclude a significant portion of your prospective customers. Social media use differs between demographic groups. If you’re targeting people between 18 to 29 or 65 and older, you’re not reaching them through this medium. That’s why it’s important to include social media as an omnichannel approach. 

Social media use varies by demographic.

For maximum results, it’s best to reach people where they’re spending their time. This means sending email campaigns, publishing blog articles, and posting on social platforms to ensure a wider reach. The more channels you use, the more people you’ll connect with and deliver content that resonates. 

2. It Limits Visibility

Social media platforms use algorithms that affect who sees your posts in their timelines. Organic posts that don’t boost through paid ads offer no guarantee that your audience will see them. As a result, tracking reach and overall impact of this aspect of your content marketing campaign can be difficult. Email campaigns and display ads not only increase visibility but also provide trackable data that can help improve the effectiveness of your efforts. While social media can limit your visibility, including it as part of a media mix is a good way to engage your audience while increasing brand awareness. 

3. You Don’t Own Your Content

Any time you share content on social media, the platform obtains ownership of the material and can redistribute it for its benefit. If your entire content marketing plan revolves around social media, then you don’t own any of your material. Expert blog posts are an effective way to create original content your company owns. You control who sees it and how it’s used. You also reap the financial benefits. 

Losing ownership of social media content isn’t detrimental as long as you have other material in your content marketing arsenal (like blog articles and whitepapers) that belongs to you and is under your control.

4. Online Experiences Begin with Search Engines

Studies show that 93% of all online experiences begin with a search engine. When healthcare suppliers or group purchasing networks are looking for products and services, they don’t immediately head to social media platforms. They enter their question into a search engine, which directs them to websites that provide answers and solutions. If you’re only focusing on social media posts as your content distribution method, you’re unlikely to appear on search engine result listings. That means you’re losing business to companies who appear on the listings. 

Image Source

To stand apart from the competition, you need to create a well-rounded content marketing campaign that includes multiple sources for content. This enables search engines to identify you as a helpful resource for their users and rank your company among their recommendations.

5. Doesn’t Drive Traffic Straight to Your Website

To get people to make a purchase, you need to drive traffic directly to your website. While social media posts can help build brand awareness and increase audience engagement, they don’t necessarily help conversions. To reach your site, social media users must click on one more link, adding another step to becoming a customer. While social media posts can be a tool to help guide people to your website, they don’t directly boost conversion rates.

4 Things to Tell Trade Magazine Editors About Your Brand to Boost Your Healthcare Marketing

August 9, 2022 By John Pritchard

The internet has changed the face of healthcare management. Now that people can do their own medical research online, they’re empowered to make more informed, proactive decisions about their healthcare. As a result, healthcare suppliers must work harder to set themselves apart from the competition.

From hospital distribution to medical sales, healthcare marketing is a must in gaining brand awareness, building a loyal following, and increasing revenue. Trade magazine marketing in healthcare can be a highly effective tool in a brand’s development strategy. You’re able to use a reputable source to target an audience who could be interested in your products or services. 

But trade magazine editors aren’t all-knowing. While they can do some basic research, they don’t know everything about every brand. You’ll have to supply them with the information they need to promote your services, attract your audience’s attention, and help you stand out from the competition. 

What Makes Trade Magazines an Effective Healthcare Marketing Tool?

People who want to gain industry insights into the latest trends and products rely on trade publications to keep them updated. These magazines are continually evolving to meet readers’ needs, sharing information that resonates based on the feedback members provide through trade forums and workshops.

Trade magazines can be an effective healthcare marketing tool because:

  • They have a long shelf life. Many people collect trade magazines and businesses leave them on lobby tables for future reading. By publishing information about your company in a trade publication, you not only reach people right away when the magazines are first distributed. You can reach even more people in your industry days, weeks, and even months later.
  • They introduce readers to companies and individuals who are leaders in healthcare. Through articles, ads, interviews, and research findings, trade magazines help companies build a relationship with a targeted audience. You can position yourself as an authority in your field, creating opportunities for customer loyalty and increased traffic to your pipeline.
  • They offer more than publications. They provide virtual networking opportunities, online forums, downloadable resources, and libraries of content. They’re an invaluable resource to industry professionals and can help boost brand awareness and drive sales.

What Should Trade Magazine Editors Know About Your Brand?

You’re not the only healthcare supplier trying to reach people through your industry trade publication. Lots of other companies will take out ads, provide interviews, and contribute content to the same magazine in which you want to appear. So why should prospects pay attention to you? 

Customers are always looking for a solution to a problem. Let your editor know what your brand can do that others can’t. Share information that makes your organization unique. Here are four things editors should know about your business to maximize this brand awareness opportunity. 

1. Your Story

Nothing is more uniquely you than your company’s story. How did your business get into this industry? What motivates you to be the best at what you do? When people better understand who you are as an organization, it gives them a chance to make a connection with you. Transparency builds trust, and people tend to do business with companies they trust. 

In addition to sharing information about your background, use this opportunity to highlight things about your business that are unusual in the industry. Tell about any state-of-the-art techniques you use. Discuss your values or mission statement. Promote your lower rates or faster shipping times. Whatever it is that you can do differently or better than others in your industry will give you a competitive advantage. 

2. Your Archetype 

Part of your individuality is your brand’s archetype, a recognizable way people can relate to your organization’s personality. Maybe you’re the visionary, the likable company next door, or the hero. Whatever it is, your archetype can help shape your brand’s story. It can stir emotions within your audience, help you to resonate with potential customers, and leave a lasting impression.

Archetypes make your brand more identifiable and memorable. They help set a level of expectation for what kind of experience prospects can anticipate from your brand. Archetypes help you stand out in a sea of competitors. They’re invaluable to building authentic connections with your audience that lead to loyal customers and increased sales.

3. Your Market Research 

Market research is another way to show how your company stands out from the competition and adds value to your industry. In healthcare, confidence is essential to sales. People want to know the products they’re buying are tested, trusted, safe, and effective. If your company has conducted medical research, share those findings. 

Not only does this position you as a knowledgeable resource in your field. It shows that your brand makes educated, informed decisions. You’re proactive about ensuring that your products meet quality standards, and you’re willing to educate others in your industry. All of this solidifies your position as a healthcare leader and useful resource that benefits your trade as a whole.

4. Reviews from Brand Ambassadors

The involvement of stakeholders can be highly influential when educating people about your brand. From group purchasing networks to physicians, people are undoubtedly satisfied with your products and services and willing to share their reviews of your business. These first-hand accounts and experiences are likely to impact the purchase decisions of others. 

Be sure to include reviews from brand ambassadors especially when they’re from a known individual or company. If someone is already trusted and respected in the industry and recommends your business, it lends authenticity to the review and credibility to your brand.

Tell Share Moving Media About Your Brand

Trade magazine editors want their publications to contain meaningful information that brings value to readers. By giving them important information about your brand, you help them craft useful articles that provide valuable resources to their readers while promoting your business. 

A full-service content company, Share Moving Media creates and distributes quality content like articles and publications for the healthcare industry. We know the right questions to ask to learn what makes your brand different from others and help you reach a wider audience and grow your business.
