When looking for a suitable agency, comparing medical full service marketing companies is advised.
Medical marketing involves the strategic use of various marketing channels by healthcare organisations to expand their online visibility, and to reach their consumers, patients, and members.
Healthcare marketing differs from general marketing, due to the high base-level of industry knowledge that is needed.
They will know how marketing in and around the NHS works, and how to effectively communicate your message.
As a medical business, why not talk with full service marketing agencies that know the health and medical sector.
Being involved in the sector, working with an agency is not a matter to be taken lightly.
Medical marketing agencies will be handling all of the campaigns you need. From full web design and tweaking/updating the website, your branding, mailing, public relations.
One of the most important factors when considering medical full service marketing companies, is they knowledge and experience of the industry. Their background will have a big effect on the campaigns they are running, and the return on your investment.
The UK medical and healthcare industry is currently valued at £43 billion, and with the growing population this is expected to increase.
Standing out in the crowd is important, however fitting into the healthcare industry is just as important. This is a delicate balance and one that can only be achieved through successful marketing.
The UK has hundreds of marketing agencies, that have all their resources in house and can allocate resources to match any sized campaign.
There are a number that work within the health sector. A few exclusively and some as part of the general mix of clients they work with. They can help with controlling how the campaign is run and generating a return.
Companies that have medical marketing experience should be able to provide more focus. As they know the medical industry and already operate in the sector for other clients they are working with.
Digital marketing is very new but is very powerful since most of the UK’s population of 65 million are connected to the web and most of us are on social media platforms throughout the day.
Traditional marketing such as billboard advertising and radio advertising is popular for many healthcare companies. There is a different between SEO & social media marketing, but they do work together if done well.
A full service marketing company will harness both traditional and digital marketing to ensure the marketing campaign is as effective as possible.
Social media is very new to the marketing world, but is catching up quickly as most of us spend on average 3 hours a day on the various social media platforms.
Each social media platform is different so choosing the right social media platform for your medical business is important in order for your marketing to be as effective as possible.
It is strongly advised to meet and have a medical full service marketing meeting before signing on the dotted line, for three reasons:
We do live in a digital world of Zoom calls and emails, but a face to face meeting is always better since non verbal communication is just as important as verbal. If you are investing heavily in a marketing company, you need to ensure they are the right agency that will produce results.
The medical industry is quite specialist and they need to have a specialist approach and way of working in order to produce you good results.
Each medical and healthcare business is different, each with a different brand and different marketing message to tell.
Effective communication is most effective in a face to face scenario.
There are hundreds of full service marketing companies in the UK so choosing one that is local makes meetings more practical.
All medical full service marketing companies are different, in that they are all private companies and set their own fees.
Comparing full service marketing quotes is not about finding the cheapest agency, since that is not how marketing works. It is about finding you the ‘right” full service marketing agency for your medical business. One that has a track record of doing marketing in the healthcare and medical sector.
It is good to compare quotes to ensure that the marketing agency you choose is cost effective as you have compared the costs against other agencies.
