Healthcare Marketing Ideas

A year ago we had barely heard the rumblings of COVID-19, today it is a topic of conversation on a daily basis. Every sniffle, cough, sneeze and headache sends people into a panic. The Healthcare Industry, from Chiropractors to large hospitals have been affected by people not wanting to make any appointments that are not completely necessary. Finding a way to market is changing for most industries, but for Healthcare in particular, branding yourself has never been easier.

The saying “What was old is new again” could not be more true than when we talk about direct mail. With many people spending more time at home, reaching them through the mail gives you a captive audience. If you make that mail bulky or different, it practically guarantees that your message will be noticed. Postcards with a detachable magnet draw attention with their heavier weight and unique feel. Once received, the magnet is easy to detach and stick on the fridge (or file cabinet in the office) for future reference. A clear envelope (or shrink wrap) containing printed material and a flat object, such as an emery board, coaster or sponge offer an item that will be kept and used, increasing your ROI and brand awareness. There are a multitude of items we can use for direct mail pieces or combine with other items to create a unique piece for your office or facility to make the most of your marketing budget.

Postcard direct mail piece is perfect for announcing a new office opening or a new service.

As more people get vaccinated and our lives return to normal, events such as health fairs, community festivals and live events will resume (I can’t wait!!). Giveaway items that are useful, easy to carry and that pertain to your business give you a better ROI and ensure your message stays around for a long time. Our top suggestions include themed jar openers, good quality lip balm, tissue packs, mint and gum, hand sanitizer & pill boxes. In addition to the items above, for Senior Health Fairs these shoehorn & backscratcher comb and medicine bottle opener are both great ways to target your audience.

This shoehorn / backscratcher is an ideal way to target an older demographic and ensure your message sticks around
