Demand generation: how to obtain new leads in the healthcare field?
>Thechanges left by the pandemic in health and wellness lead generation
The healthcare field, like any other industry, requires marketing, sales and commercialization methods in order to have a digital presence and find new patients. However, healthcare marketing has its particularities and more in the new context in which we find ourselves, in which health has taken a more important relevance in our lives.
For this reason, it is important for us to review the fundamental strategies we implement to generate demand and ensure that institutes and health centers maintain an upward flow of new patients and associates.
Identify the health service differential
It seems obvious, but one lesson that the new normal has taught us is that potential patients and associates do not conceive of their health in the same way as they did before. Priorities have changed and what once seemed postponable is now indispensable. Likewise, the economy in general has also changed and the distribution of income and consumption habits has undergone a transformation.
It is essential to take into account all these variables to review the differential service that makes the institution or health center stand out in order to know where to focus on communications and have greater success in the impact we want to generate.
Know the audience you want to reach
As mentioned above, health has taken a new place in the minds of many potential patients and partners. It is necessary to review the target audience of our products and services: do they still have the same needs? Have they changed in this context? How have their lifestyles changed? Do they have the same expectations of our services?
Taking a few minutes to answer these questions and those that may arise from the answers we obtain is essential to outline the new profile of our current patients and associates, but also of the people we want to reach. Getting to know them again makes it easier for us to recognize them and know how to reach them.
Leveraging the potential of digital channels
Once we have obtained the information from the previous steps, we can have a clearer projection of where we are going to put our messages and communications for our target audience to see them. At this stage, the digitalization that the world went through after the pandemic plays in favor: more users are in different digital channels or use these channels much more.
Depending on the objectives of our campaign or the message we want to convey, we can design a digital communication strategy to better identify the channels we will use and the content we will develop to enhance the message.
These are some essential steps that must be taken into account before setting up a lead generation strategy. By following these instances, we will have a much clearer path to follow to guarantee the success of our campaigns.
