How a new family in your neighborhood assesses health care options, and how to position your practice as the obvious choice.
Imagine a new family that has just moved into your neighborhood.
Moving can be a busy and stressful time.
They have many things to decide on and not much time.
They need a new everything, and fast.
Here are some of the things they consider when assessing healthcare provider options:
- Who can I find quickly?
- Who do people recommend?
- Is it easy to get to the place?
- What extra services do they offer?
- Do they focus on people like me?
- Is it easy to find information about what they offer?
- Is it easy to get started?
- Can they see us soon?
- Are there flexible options?
- Do they seem like someone I would get along with?
They want to make good choices, but they are also busy and want to make a decision and get started.
Personas: Connecting with Your Ideal Patients
How can you make it easier for people to find you, trust you, and choose you as their healthcare provider?
To begin, you need to have a clear understanding of the type of patients you want to attract. This clarity allows you to focus your search only on this specific group. This is target marketing.
Targeted marketing involves defining: “I am looking for this specific person, in this particular location, and I will create a message that resonates with them.“
You want your ideal patient to say –
“This is exactly what I’m looking for!”
When you target your marketing, everything becomes more effective.
You can save money in the process too. By focusing your marketing efforts, you will attract more new patients per campaign. And, they will fit better into your practice.
Targeted marketing also lets you track the return on investment (ROI). As business owners, we need to know the exact results we can expect from our investments.
Target marketing is very different from “Brand marketing”. Brand marketing is an indulgent activity for large companies with bottomless advertising budgets. ROI isn’t tracked or trackable. Don’t model your activities off global companies. You want direct results for your marketing dollar.
So, how do you define the target market for your healthcare practice?
Start by developing a “persona” of your ideal patient. By doing this, you can tailor your message to resonate specifically with them.
When you communicate directly with your ideal patients, you will attract more of them.
