STEPS TO DEVELOPING

YOUR DIGITAL

STRATEGY:

- Profile audience: where does she spend her time (online)

- Determine intent: where is she in the buying cycle?

- Decide resources: leveraging paid + “sweat equity”digital channels

- Cross-pollinate with traditional advertising- Develop conversion tools: opt-ins, sign-ups,

appointments, screenings- Track and re-apply: refine and do more of what works

THE AVERAGE BRAND SPENDS 25% OF ITS MEDIA BUY ON ONLINE.The average hospital spends less than 9%.Begin shifting traditional dollars to digital by focusing on the low-hanging fruit — newspaper advertising. (And Yellow Pages, if you’re still doing that.)

20

HIRING TALENT: WHAT TO LOOK FOR (AND WHAT TO AVOID)

21

DIGITAL TALENT

SELECTION:- Generalist: manages multiple online channels, including

website, social media. Hire for cultural fit and marketing insights, adequate digital skills (CMS, social channel plug-in apps)

- Specialist: highly specialized, technical background. Watch

out for “silo thinking.” Traditionally, specialists are focused on website properties with opportunity to scale.

- Content Marketing/Inbound Marketing: writing strengths

along with ability to “repurpose” existing content. Focuses on building SEO, cross-pollinating across multiple digital channels.

- Marketing Automation Specialist: skill set in using Act-On, HubSpot or other automation software platforms, along with SalesForce (or other) CRM platforms. Emerging trend.

- ““““The Intern””””: you get what you paid for. :-)

22

DIGITAL HAS A STARRING

ROLE AT EVERY LEVEL OF

THE SALES FUNNEL – FROM

AWARENESS TO PURCHASE

TO ENDORSEMENT.

(Your goal is to identify the digital

strategies that nurture every level of the funnel.)

23

AWARENESSINTERESTPURCHASEENDORSEMENT

One of the unique traits of

digital is that tactics can be

used in different stages of the

buying/advocacy cycle, often

simultaneously.

When selecting digital

strategies, identify how you

will connect with

prospects/patients at what

stage of the cycle via digital

tactics. (And remember to

connect back to the “sun” of the ecosystem, your website.)

Search is the fastest growing and largest component of the media matrix.

THE MODERN HEALTHCARE

WEBSITE’’’’S CORE PURPOSE IS TO CONVERT PROSPECTSINTO PATIENTS.

31

HOSPITAL SITES DRIVE VOLUME

VIA DIRECT CONVERSIONS(INSTANT PATIENT ACQUISITION)

AND DOWNSTREAM CONVERSIONS (LONGER TERM PATIENT LEAD GENERATION)

32

LANDING PAGE

STRATEGIES

- Landing pages are integral to any campaign (traditional or digital) to convert prospects into patients.

- Landing pages also help to increase Google Quality Scores, which helps brands to get better search buys.

- Effective landing pages provide calls-to-action to drive direct and downstream revenue through conversion.

Direct conversion provides an immediate “sale” to the health system. Downstream conversion increases the prospect pipeline for a future conversion.

33

PRODUCT

PROMOTION

Product or service

description is written

to be patient benefit

focused. Provide

overview in concise

format and give

prospects

opportunities for a

“deeper dive” if interested. (But keeps

prospects on the page.)

34

ONLINE

REGISTRATIONS

Online registrations

give prospects

meaningful

opportunities to learn

more, engage with

your brand, make

informed decisions

and allow your

hospital to keep in

touch.

Form registrations

are tracked from the

campaign to show

results (attendance, revenue)

35

DYNAMIC PHONE

NUMBERS

When a user engages

with an ad, the phone

number on the page

instantly changes.

However, the calls

are routed to the

original phone

number.

This allows for unique

identification of

callers.

Calls are recorded to

track quality and conversions.

36

ONLINE CHAT

Online chat

functionality offers

hospitals the chance

to engage in real time

with prospects during

key phase of the buying cycle.

37

ONLINE

REGISTRATIONS

Online registrations

offer hospitals the

opportunity to convert

prospects into

patients in real time.

This technique can be

done via widget tools

that plug directly into

the hospital’s scheduling feature or

via callback service

after patient completes forms.

BENEFITS OF

RESPONSIVE DESIGN IN

CONVERTING

PROSPECTS INTO

PATIENTS

- Campaigns should drive prospects to take action: responsive screens give audiences the simplest means to

take an action.

- Responsive design offers improved SEO: Google

prefers responsive sites and helps improve page ranking

- As much as 50 percent of your audience are accessing your site from small screens: optimizing your site for

phones allows audiences who are ready to take action to

take action.

40

CONTENT/INBOUND

MARKETING BEST

PRACTICES

- Write first for the Web, then for other channels: Publish

content weekly. (No exceptions.)

- Write from the perspective of the perspective patient. What words/phrases would she use to find your service?

- Offer a compelling Call-to-Action (CTA) on every page of your website. The goal of your site is to inform,

engage and convert. Give audiences reasons and

opportunities to use your brand.

- Grow your email database. Conversion is a numbers

game. The more email addresses you collect (and

purchase), the higher your conversion formula.

MARKETING

AUTOMATION

Automation software

accelerates the

conversion potential

of traditional Calls-to-

Action (CTAs) on

websites.

Prospects are given

tracking codes to

monitor their activity

on the website over

time. Once a prospect

opts-in (via CTA) the

prospect is identified

– and the hospital can

build the relationship

increase conversion potential.

43

LEAD SCORES

Prospects are

assigned lead scores

— their relative

likelihood of being a

qualified patient.

These lead scores

are based on the

activity the prospect

demonstrates on the

website. Opting in for

a cardiac newsletter

may be worth 10

points, watching a

pre-recorded webcast

is worth 15 points,

etc. The higher the

lead score, the higher the prospect ranks.

44

AUTOMATION

PROGRAMSEmail campaigns are pre-planned in advance and can be customized based on what the prospect does (or doesn’t do).

45

RESPONSE RATES

Automation software

gives marketers more

analytics to evaluate

email campaigns,

including better A/B testing opportunities.

46

LEAD GENERATION

Automation software

provides marketers

enhanced tracking for

new leaders

generated along with

new opportunities –

previously undefined

prospects that opt-in

based on the CTAs

provided from the website.

47

MEASURING ROI Automation software integrates with database repositories like

SalesForce and can tracked via patient discharge data.

Marketers can evaluate their digital campaigns to identify which automation program produces the most financial return.

48

SHIFTING DOLLARS TO

DIGITAL- Conduct a media audit: your ad spending, your competition,

how your audience uses media.- Determine strategic goals: by service line, market area,

demographic. - Conduct a Discovery Session with internal stakeholders:

educate audiences on trends in marketing (with emphasis on digital). Prime them that smart, strategic changes are coming.

- Learn what your audience wants. Great marketing is about empathy for the customer. Identify what they want and how your system can deliver. (This transcends digital marketing into operations.)

49

- Return to stakeholders with the plan. Position

approach as being good stewards of the system’s resources. Ask your CEO and board members not to give in to pressure from the newspaper publisher or other

“squeaky wheels.”- Determine how to transfer impressions into actions.

Define what actions you want the audience to take and how you will measure this activity.

- Launch a pilot campaign: one service line with controls in place to measure. Return to stakeholders with results.
