As Revenue Falls, Doctors And Medical Groups Turn To Digital Marketing

A recent article from Advertising Age discusses the use of online marketing by hospitals and medical providers as a way to increase falling revenue. Many medical providers “are turning to search, mobile and social for cost-effective marketing that reaches the growing number of consumers who look online for health-care information.”

Usually, the Internet is the first place patients turn to gain more medical knowledge. Therefore, it is a logical place for organizations to post things like “banners, patient testimonials, health guides and service-line-specific ads” that patients will encounter when they search for information.

Additionally, social media gives medical providers and patients a place to post testimonials and reviews that can attest to a hospital’s quality of care.

Physicians should consider using online advertising as a way to connect potential patients with their services.
