3 Key Medical Marketing Trends to Leverage in Q4
Irvine, CA (PRWEB) September 29, 2016 -- It's a sign of the times: "What's trending" has replaced "What's new" as the nation's favorite conversation starter. That in mind, we'd like to share what's trending in the world of health care marketing with the final quarter of 2016 upon us.
1. Social Media is Blowing Up
Today, a Pew study reveals that 64 percent of adults use social networking sites. That's up substantially from a year ago.
Doctor groups. Hospitals. Health insurers. Pharmaceutical companies. Medical device makers. A wide range of health care marketers are utilizing tried-and-true digital communication platforms like Facebook and Twitter to get the word out on their products and services. But many are now turning to Instagram, as well. It affords an excellent opportunity to connect with patients, customers, vendors, employees and investors with visual content that demonstrates your company's differentiating benefits.
2. Mobile Marketing is on the Move
Your customers have you well in hand. These days, one in 10 individuals connect to the Internet exclusively through handheld mobile devices. What's more, Google ranks mobile-oriented responsive Web sites higher than those that aren't as mobile friendly. So maximizing your marketing experience around the needs and desires of these mobile users can be crucial to your campaign's success.
3. Video is Winning New Converts
Once the province of direct mail, video has now become the primary source of lead conversion, with a full 70 percent of marketers today finding videos to be the best medium for converting leads into sales. From explainer videos to mission videos to product/procedure instructionals, video is now the number way to reach patients or customers, and motivate them to take action. With the abundance of media platforms available, video is also practical. Shot content can easily be repurposed into a variety of different video uses -- then posted on your Web site, social media sites and more.
