Healthcare social media marketing has become essential to any healthcare organization’s marketing strategy.
Your healthcare organization must build its brand presence on social media networks like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok, so you can connect with your audience and build trust among your potential patients.
More than ever, patients and potential patients are using social media to search for recommendations about their doctors and hospitals or to share their opinions on healthcare services.
STRATEGIES TO ACHIEVE SUCCESS IN HEALTHCARE SOCIAL MEDIA MARKETING.
Defining Your Goals
A successful social media strategy starts with setting goals. Goals can be quantitative (e.g., increase website traffic) or qualitative (e.g., provide more information about your company’s mission).
Before you start, ask yourself what you want to accomplish and how social media will help you get there. Next, list the resources you have available to implement your plan.
Then create a timeline that shows when each step should take place.
Understanding Your Audience
Successful social media marketing begins with understanding your audience. By analyzing the demographics and psychographics of those likely to be interested in your products or services, you can better understand what they might want or need from your company.
You also want to consider your competitors. Who are they, and what social media presence do they have? What type of content do they share, and how often? Are they active on all relevant channels, or only a few?
Where can you learn more about them, and which networks might be most beneficial in your campaign? Even if you’re an established business with an existing following, it never hurts to see what others are doing.
Create Valuable and Engaging Content
Healthcare social media content should be informative, engaging, and compliant with industry regulations. Quality content can establish your authority and foster trust with your audience.
Educational Posts: Share articles, infographics, and videos that provide valuable health information, tips, and advice. Ensure that the content is easy to understand and shareable.
Patient Stories and Testimonials: Highlight patient success stories and testimonials to humanize your brand and provide social proof.
Interactive Content: Use polls, quizzes, live Q&A sessions, and other interactive formats to engage your audience actively.
Posting Consistently
You’ll want to post consistently on your social media channels. There’s no need to post more than once a day, but posting more than once every other day is a good idea.
You’ll want to find out what times of the day are best for you and your audience to post on each channel and schedule accordingly.
Posting regularly will keep your fans engaged and returning to your social media channels.
If you don’t post consistently or wait days between posts, they may forget about you and move on to other businesses. You can lose followers if you aren’t posting frequently enough.
Measuring Your Results
Measurement is the key to success in any marketing campaign, and social media is no exception. If you’re not sure how to measure your results, here are five practices that can help you get started:
1. Monitor your social media activity with analytics tools like Google Analytics
2. Ask your followers what they think of your posts with a simple post-poll
3. Track the reach and engagement of your posts with a tool like BuzzSumo
4. Consider adding conversion tracking on your website, so you know when someone clicks through from one of your posts
5. Evaluate which channels (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Tiktok) provide the best ROI
