The Multiple Touchpoints: Seeing the Patient Journey
Patients nowadays do not use a straight line to make appointments. A patient may find your clinic by searching Google with “anti-aging treatments” and clicking an ad to your site one day, and then not book an appointment, which results in a retargeting advertisement on Facebook days later, following your Instagram account, an email promotion, and eventually book during a holiday special. Every touchpoint makes your brand stronger, develops credibility, and brings them to a conversion point. It is a multi-phase process that involves coordinated messaging where all channels are in sync and not in absence of each other.
Knowing where your best customers are online will allow you to make a strategic choice of the channel.
- Do they Google their research?
- Looking to be inspired on Instagram?
- Reading emails?
- Before-and-after video watching on YouTube?
Diverse demographics tend to use various platforms- younger clients can be inclined to use Instagram and TikTok whereas older demographic can be inclined to use Google search and email. A good strategy will focus on the channels that are in line with your target audience without sacrificing the consistency of all the channels.
Application of Integrated Cross-Channel Strategies
Unified messaging and visual branding is the start of successful implementation. The value proposal, before and after imagery, testimonials and description of treatment of your clinic must be the same on Google Ads, Instagram, Facebook, email marketing and landing pages as well as on local search listing. This consistency also creates recognition and trust when your potential clients see your brand on several platforms, it creates the perception of a professional, credible clinic everywhere they turn.
The cross-channel marketing solutions for beauty industry clinics incorporates advanced integration of paid and organic campaigns. High intent search Google Advert captures searches by people actively seeking treatments. Instagram and Facebook advertisements create awareness to wider audiences and re target visitors of the websites that did not immediately make purchase. The emails marketing fosters the leads by delivering informative materials, special deals, and reminders about the appointments to interested subscribers. Blogging and social media content marketing makes you a specialist and enhances search presence. Optimizing local SEO and Google Business Profile makes certain that it can be seen in case of a near me search. The channels have different purposes but play a role towards the achievement of coherent business goals.
The example of cross-channel synergy is the retargeting campaigns. One goes to your site examining the facelift services, leaves without making a booking, and then takes retargeting ads on Facebook of facelift before-and-afters with testimonials. The following week they get an email with the limited time pricing on the facelift. By the time they later on Google your clinic, your Google Ads are right before them. This is a multi-touchpoint strategy that enhances the possibility of conversion exponentially over single-channel campaigns.
