Use empathy and compassion in your branding.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmm-online.com\/slideshow\/channel\/6-campaigns-that-use-empathy-to-drive-brand-storytelling\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Amy Fortunato<\/a>, VP, creative director of the Bloc, said this in a Medical Marketing and Media (MM&amp;M) article about campaigns of healthcare brands:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>&#8220;Empathy is playing an increasingly large role in how healthcare brands communicate.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Patients have unlimited resources on the Internet to shop around for various healthcare providers. What gives your brand a competitive edge is connecting to patients on an emotional level. One way to foster empathy is through incorporating elements that evoke positive emotions. For instance, as part of the patient experience, consider integrating vibrant colors, playful patterns, and whimsical prints into staff attire, such as those found in colorful scrub caps for women\u00a0or\u00a0scrub caps for men, to create a welcoming and uplifting environment. These small details can enhance their overall experience and strengthen the emotional connection with your brand.<\/p>\n<p>For example, you can use a company fact sheet like the one below to demonstrate that your company&#8217;s mission and values align with your patients&#8217; emotional needs.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/templates\/plans\/nonprofit-healthcare-company-fact-sheet-e94252ca-e20f-487f-8964-de4a1b022162\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-49400\" style=\"box-shadow: 0 1px 4px 0 rgb(0 0 0 \/ 10%), 0 0 6px 0 rgb(0 0 0 \/ 10%), 0 2px 2px -2px rgb(0 0 0 \/ 15%);\" src=\"https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Nonprofit-Healthcare-Company-Fact-Sheet.png\" alt=\"healthcare marketing\" width=\"600\" height=\"464\" data-darkreader-inline-boxshadow=\"\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<center><a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/templates\/plans\/nonprofit-healthcare-company-fact-sheet-e94252ca-e20f-487f-8964-de4a1b022162\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><br \/><button class=\"btn-cta\" data-darkreader-inline-color=\"\" data-darkreader-inline-boxshadow=\"\" data-darkreader-inline-bgimage=\"\" data-darkreader-inline-bgcolor=\"\"><b>CREATE THIS PLAN TEMPLATE<\/b><\/button><\/a><\/center>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<h3><b>2.

But today, companies are learning that they can use their failures to make their brands better and bigger. This is best done through reputation management.<\/p>\n<p>Reputation management, also known as <a href=\"https:\/\/www.netreputation.com\/what-is-personal-online-reputation-management\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">online reputation management<\/a> (ORM), is the process of influencing and controlling the reputation of your brand or business by engaging customers. Today, people will post their thoughts about your business publicly, either on your website or on one of the social networks.<\/p>\n<p>Businesses are more transparent than ever before, and that&#8217;s what customers prefer these days. This is even more important in the case of health organizations.<\/p>\n<p>Trust is only earned when you&#8217;re transparent, not only about your successes but how you turn your failures around. So you have to master both asking for feedback and addressing this feedback publicly.<\/p>\n<p>One example of great crisis management is the case of Johnson &amp; Johnson and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.ou.edu\/deptcomm\/dodjcc\/groups\/02C2\/Johnson%20&amp;%20Johnson.htm\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Tylenol crisis<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-50879\" style=\"box-shadow: 0 1px 4px 0 rgb(0 0 0 \/ 10%), 0 0 6px 0 rgb(0 0 0 \/ 10%), 0 2px 2px -2px rgb(0 0 0 \/ 15%);\" src=\"https:\/\/venngage-wordpress.s3.amazonaws.com\/uploads\/2021\/08\/Healthcare-Marketing-Johnson-Johnson-Tylenol.png\" alt=\"healthcare marketing\" width=\"600\" height=\"1426\" data-darkreader-inline-boxshadow=\"\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Not all businesses manage to handle crises so well.

Organic marketing strategies for healthcare<\/b><\/h3>\n<p>Organic marketing is the process of getting customers for your business without using paid advertising or sponsored posts. Organic marketing usually picks up momentum gradually, unlike paid marketing.<\/p>\n<p>Some organic strategies that are great for marketing in the healthcare industry include the following:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Word of mouth marketing<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>The power is in the stats! According to Nielson, about 92% of consumers are happy to follow recommendations from friends and family over other forms of marketing. Word of mouth marketing (WOMM) influences 20% to 50% of all purchases, according to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mckinsey.com\/business-functions\/marketing-and-sales\/our-insights\/a-new-way-to-measure-word-of-mouth-marketing\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">McKinsey &amp; Company<\/a>. That&#8217;s the power of organic marketing.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Doctor referrals<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Patients with strong relationships with their primary care physicians often follow through with <a href=\"https:\/\/abcnews.go.com\/Health\/Healthday\/story?id=4508168&amp;page=1\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">specialty referrals<\/a>. Patients typically trust doctors if they&#8217;ve been using their services for a long period.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Physician liaisons<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Physician liaisons are people who represent a doctor or practice. They typically acquire new patients by connecting and coordinating with other physicians.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b>Great visuals in emails<\/b><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Your healthcare staff can use simple tools like email to reach patients. But to make your materials stand out, your staff must use differentiating tools like infographics with great visuals.<\/p>\n<p>Check out this <a href=\"https:\/\/venngage.com\/blog\/case-study-venngage-baptistcare\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">case study<\/a> of how Arun at BaptistCare drastically improved technology adoption for care staff. By teaching his staff to use Venngage visuals, Arun was able to increase email open rates by 60%.
