A whole-some marketing approach
- Explore the four Ws- Marketing has risen beyond Ps and Cs. Wondering what are these? The four Ws of B2B healthcare marketing are: Who, What, Where, Why.
This makes up a very important question as buying habits differ across Baby Boomers (born between 1946-1964), Generation X (born between 1965-1980), The Millennial Generation (born between 1981-1996), Generation Z (born between 1997-2012).
Sometimes there is a maze of requirements and a clever B2B Marketer has to read between the lines and clearly understand what the target audience actually wants. For example, there is a difference between a 24/7/365 provider of healthcare services and a provider of their names. Only a straightforward answer will not only attract the customers, but retain them in the longer run.
From a B2B healthcare marketer’s point of view, it is important to understand the places/channels/mediums through which the customers interact. It can be an online channel (social media, OTT Platforms etc.), offline mediums like bill-boards, signage. Traditional methods like door-to-door marketing, referrals like word of mouth or a mix and match of all the above.
It is as simple as oxygen to living as a Unique Selling Proposition to a marketer. Without a unique selling proposition, there is no point in promoting a brand/service. The qualities that differentiate from others are your strength.
