Here’s Why Healthcare Marketers Have No Room for Error

When it comes to caring for our bodies and dealing with medical practitioners, people tend to have very high standards. Customers scrutinize every touchpoint in the healthcare journey, from a doctor’s waiting room to their bedside manner to their communications after an appointment. It is perhaps not surprising that healthcare marketing is a different animal than, say, marketing a household product or lifestyle service. 

In a recent podcast conversation, marketing experts discussed the need for clarity, evidence-based decisions, and empirical judgment in medical marketing. This becomes even more vital when doctors are your customer or end user, as in healthcare technology or gear. The doctor as the customer wants to see factual information published in reputable sources such as medical journals. And whether your customer is a doctor or a patient, terminology that reads as flashy or salesy is likely to put them off.
