Demographic Data: From Commodity to Strategic Planning Asset

Posted by Tony Camarata on Aug 18, 2020 12:39:00 PM

Introducing Demographics for Launch Pathway

Demographic data is one of the oldest forms of strategic planning data available. The inaugural US Census was in 1790, which is relatively recent considering the history of census data. Today, demographic data is a basic commodity with detailed information being available on the Census Bureau's website. You can also get this kind of information from numerous established businesses or from a trade association.

While easy access to demographic data is convenient, simply having the information is often not enough. Businesses and organizations looking to use demographic data to find opportunities for growth will need the data to be filtered and organized in a way that makes it useful. This is especially the case for hospitals and healthcare systems.

By Jennifer Keller

As with any area in business, marketers and strategic planners must be able to prove the value of their work to leadership. Yet with their reputation as a cost center, these teams feel more pressure to demonstrate positive financial impact. Essentially, marketers and planners must be adept at marketing their own achievements if they want to gain approval for new initiatives and see their budgets grow year over year. This is particularly true in healthcare, where budgets are tightening and facing closer scrutiny.

In this post, we’ll discuss tools and strategies that healthcare marketers and planners can employ to show they are valuable contributors to growth. We’ll also cover some real-world examples of teams facing common challenges finding success, proving their worth, and driving growth. Let’s dig into two key ways to make your team indispensable.

3 Steps to Healthcare Digital Marketing

Online Marketing Strategies that Connect with Today’s Patient Needs

By Carly Farlow and Jennifer Keller

Today’s healthcare patients are searching the internet to understand medical symptoms, research diagnoses, and find trustworthy health information. They are also looking for providers and hospitals who can meet and address their unique needs and concerns. Rather than simply using the doctor down the street, today’s patient wants customized care over convenience, even if that means a longer commute to their provider of choice.

Healthcare marketing must continually evolve alongside patient needs, attracting patients by providing an online experience that is fresh, relevant, and reliable. A digital marketing strategy can be the key to reaching new prospects in a way that will convert them to satisfied patients. The strategy we use here at Stratasan, and one we highly recommend, is the methodology known as inbound marketing.

7 Marketing Tactics Healthcare Providers Need to Consider in 2018

Posted by Taylor Burke on Oct 9, 2017 10:32:42 PM

Why Healthcare Marketing is Worth the Investment

By Taylor Burke

Healthcare marketing is often overlooked. Since healthcare is a service we all need, it’s often placed into a lackluster stereotype in which it’s assumed either no or very dry marketing tactics will work to win-over new patients.

But that stereotype is inaccurate for a couple of reasons. First, because healthcare is interesting. It’s about science, personal relationships, and self-care—all incredibly powerful topics. Second, despite the need for healthcare, not every provider is guaranteed patients.

The industry is expected to see massive growth in the coming decade, healthcare startups are booming and taking up market, and our most powerful consumer group, millennials, are less likely than any other generation to visit the doctor. With these factors at play, it’s critical that healthcare providers make intelligent marketing decisions that will help them stand out. The content is there, it’s what you do with it that counts. Here are seven marketing tactics healthcare providers should test out in the coming year to ensure continued patient growth and retention.
