When it comes to healthcare branding for your business, the same is true here as in life in general. Your first impression is made in two seconds or less. That means that your customer, potential patient or client is absorbing all that they are exposed to about your business, and formulating a decision in that time about whether or not they want to do business with you.
They are evaluating your logo, your name, your tagline, your website, your social media page, your reviews, your online presence, your curb appeal. Anything that they are exposed to will immediately help them to make a decision on if they will be saying yes, or saying no to what you are offering.
Since the trend in healthcare skews toward consumerism, speaking in a language your potential patient will understand is important to the success of your business. Your healthcare branding includes things like your logo, messaging, and online presence, plus reflects intangibles such as the customer experience and values important to your business.
When evaluating your healthcare branding, here are some questions to ask yourself:
- Is it clear what products or services you offer?
- Are your values reflected in your branding?
- Are those also values that your customer shares or finds important?
- Is there anything you can do to improve your customer, patient or client experience?
- Does their in-person experience match up with their expectations of your brand?
When it comes to healthcare branding, putting your best foot forward at all times, in any place that your potential patient is looking, will add to the success of your business.
