Marketing Advice By Business Type

Marketing a Surgeons Practice

Small and medium size surgeons practices can compete and even outperform larger competitors. All it takes is the right marketing plan.

A high-quality marketing plan connects your company to your customers. Without it, you'll quickly find your surgeons practice cut off from the marketplace.

Strategic marketing tactics can help small surgeons practices remain competitive with much larger businesses. Though small organizations may not have the marketing budgets of large corporations, the consistent delivery of targeted messaging has a cumulative effect on the market's consciousness.

Social Media Monitoring

The use of social media as a marketing tool is the latest wave to overtake the small business community. Combined with a functional company website, social media attracts new customers and converts them to brand advocates. However, social media also has a dark side -- negative mentions. These days, surgeons practices are especially vulnerable to negative exposure through social media. To counter negative social media, you'll need to monitor your brand's online presence and enter the conversation, redirecting negative discussions toward more positive topics.

Market Segmentation

In today's environment, it's impossible to market a surgeons practice to the entire marketplace. Although segmentation can be based on a variety of criteria, it's most commonly used to identify geographic or demographic groups within the marketplace.

Filtered mailing lists facilitate market segmentation by focusing your resources on customers within your segment. The best list providers are equipped to accommodate various segments for contained within your surgeons practice market agenda.

Do We Really Need A Logo?

Having a strong logo for a surgeons practice is a critical consideration. We live in a visual world and logos are tangible expressions of your organization's key messages. Logos aren't something that can be changed overnight so it's important to put some thought into logo design. With a lot riding on a logo, it's worth the investment to hire a professional marketing and design firm for your logo needs.
