How the Healthcare Industry is Utilizing Digital Marketing Strategies

/in , , , , , /by

Healthcare is something that is required by every individual. It is a universal need due to the fact that inevitably, everyone gets ill at some point. This need produces an enormous industry and marketplace, which is just beginning to scratch the surface of digital marketing.

While there is money to be made in such a large industry, the primary concern has always been to help people. So how do outsell others in the healthcare business? To answer this question, many organizations are turning to digital marketing.

Best Practices, LLC recently released an article on how pharmaceutical companies are investing more and more into digital marketing. Their goals are to use digital technologies to learn more about their customers and build solid relationships with them.

All of the major digital advertising platforms are equipped with advanced targeting options. The key is to streamline your ads to the perfect audience. Best Practices, LLC took it upon themselves to discover exactly who this audience contains in their report, “Digital Innovation Path: Trends in Healthcare Digital Marketing Innovation, Customer Engagement, Investment and Approvals.”

Key findings in the report conclude that non-branded websites repeatedly drive high ROIs for many businesses, and that implementing standardized templates and open communications with patients is vital.

Digital marketing teams are provided with a substantial amount of creativity when working with non-branded websites. This allows them to be incredibly innovative and successful when it comes to returns for the company.

It is not surprising to also find that simplistic continuity is preferred by consumers. It is essential to keep the process as smooth as possible for those working their way through it. If a problem does arise, it is also important that they can easily reach out for help. Using live chat messaging systems is a common solution to this issue, and is typically received positively by users.

Other general digital marketing strategies to implement in the healthcare field are:

  • Use of Engaging Visual Content: The more original and exceptional content you produce, the better. People want to see you engaging with others and talking about current issues. This helps potential customers see that you care about what is going on in the world, and that you also care about them.
  • Build a Credible Brand Identity: If you want to be taken seriously, then you need a credible brand. This goes hand-in-hand with delivering creative content. Build out your brand by establishing it on other platforms. Social media profiles are the easiest, and cheapest, way to show consumers that your company is legitimate.
  • Have a Quality Website: A good website is another sign of strong brand credibility. This aspect can also increase your visibility and conversion rates. Search engine optimization is what allows websites to rank higher on the first page of Google search results. If Google’s algorithm deems your website as being relevant to users, then it will automatically push it to a higher position. While SEO is a bit complicated and time consuming, it can produce great organic results for your business.

4 Marketing Ideas for the Fourth of July

/in , , , /by

With July 4th being right around the corner, marketers are given an excellent opportunity to take advantage of the holiday. Advertising budgets for July 4th campaigns are continually on the rise as marketers compete for a larger share. Listed below are five marketing ideas that can be implemented for your fourth of July campaign.

1. Discounts and Promotions:
This may seem like an obvious one, yet it’s surprising how some organizations refuse to participate in any sort of July 4th promotion. It’s almost an expectation now for online consumers that businesses will have July 4th promotions. Therefore, because of the high presence of online traffic during this time it’s essential for companies to participate in July 4th promotions and heavily push them on social media channels.

2. Social Media Contests:
If brand awareness is an important KPI to your organization then pursuing a contest on social media will help achieve your goal. Facebook in particular is probably the best platform to use for this situation. “Happy Fourth of July! Like and share this post for a chance to win…” is an original but easy strategy to implement that will generate a ton of impressions and engagements.

3. Utilize Trending Hashtags:
Staying on top of the Twitter world is always a good idea, yet it’s more important during the holidays. Always be sure to use trending hashtags with your posts because more impressions and engagements will follow. Here are some examples of July Fourth hashtags currently trending on Twitter:
– #4thofJuly2017
– #July4th
– #IndependenceDay
– #July4thweekend

4. Show Appreciation for Customers/Clients:
It never hurts to show appreciation for your customers or clients and how much they mean to your business. Even a simple “Happy Fourth of July to all of our customers/clients” social media post can make a bigger difference than you think. Stand out from your competitors and take advantage of the holiday by being appreciative to those that matter to your organization!

5 Reasons to Hire a Digital Marketing Agency

/in , , , , , /by

When it comes to making marketing decisions for an organization, the decision to hire “in house” or outsource marketing efforts can sometimes be a difficult decision. In the ever changing world of digital marketing, it’s in a company’s best interest to hire an agency to take on the work. The question then becomes “what are the major benefits of hiring a digital marketing agency?” Listed below are five crucial reasons as to why an organization should hire an agency for all of their digital marketing efforts.

1. Time:
Running the day to day operations of any business can be tiresome regardless of the industry. Therefore, allocating time to digital marketing efforts on top of daily tasks is in some cases impossible for certain companies. Digital agencies like us at Onimod Global dedicate all of our time to client needs and ensure high quality results.

2. Expertise:
Related to time allocation, most companies do not have the digital expertise that agencies possess. Having extensive knowledge of SEO, SEM, website development, social media marketing, and other digital skills is what agencies specialize in. Therefore, if you desire high quality results from your digital marketing efforts, hiring an agency is the way to go.

3. Cost Effective:
As a business owner it’s no secret that budgeting and spending money effectively can make or break a business. Hiring digital marketing employees in house has proven to be much more costly than outsourcing to an agency. It’s all about ROI. Digital marketing agencies place an extremely high emphasis on their clients’ return on investment.

4. Adaptability:
The world of digital marketing is continually changing as we know it. Having the capability to adapt to new software, applications, updates, etc. is something that agencies prioritize. Being able to constantly adapt also relates to time and expertise, as training and adapting to new technologies can get extensive.

5. Connections:
Some of the top digital marketing agencies in the field today have great connections with Google, Bing, and other organizations to stay ahead of the game. Being able to obtain inside information from Google for example is huge. Being a member of the Google Partners program is one of the major ways digital agencies set themselves apart from others.
