Every time you stop for a cup of your favorite coffee or switch on the TV, you unconsciously develop brand awareness. Branding is a necessary part of doing business and enables customers to have a set expectation of a particular product or service. Hospitals and private medical practices are not immune to the influence of branding. Branding ensures that your customers—your patients—know what to expect from your doctors, your staff and the medical services that your organization provides. Why do you need to properly brand your business or practice?
- A brand identity creates a “face” for your business or practice. Are your patient-centric? Do you stay on top of the latest advances and offer clinical trials? Your brand needs to encompass who you are and what your practice stands for. Your brand stands as the meaning behind all content, communications and your logo. What do you need to convey about your practice to your customer? That message goes into the development of your brand.
- Proper branding is the first step in any marketing outreach. A brand represents the image that you want projected of yourself or your practice. Marketing then takes the reigns and spreads your message through desired marketing channels. A clear brand positions your practice, identifies your target audience and attracts desired patients.
- Branding differentiates your practice. There are plenty of competitors in your area of expertise. Why should customers choose you? What benefits can you offer them? Proper branding enables practices to identify their core message. Attract clients both locally and abroad depending on the development of your brand and positioning of your medical practice.
- Branding places your practice in the mind of potential patients. They may not need your services right now but branding places you uppermost in their minds when they do. Make sure that when prospective patients think about their next check-up, any aches and pains, or potential surgery, their next thought is of contacting your medical practice. Create a strong, positive brand and open communications with the public.
