Any physician marketing effort must begin with a solid brand. Just like building a house, if you don’t have a solid foundation, the house may cave in on you when you’re sleeping! Nobody wants a house that can’t hold it’s own. Likewise nobody wants a business brand that sets him or her up for failure.
Branding serves several purposes. Most importantly, a brand can be used to create a feeling of trust and inspire potential patients to take action. Whether that action is to come in for a check up or a robotic prostatectomy, an effective physician brand creates an emotional response for patients. Now don’t try to create a brand on a concept that doesn’t hold true for the practice. Think of that as a house built on sand. It may not collapse in the middle of the night but over time it will sink into the core of the Earth. If a physician’s office says they provide detailed patient exams, for example, then they must fulfill that pledge. Follow through on a brand promise is how a physician builds trust. And put simply trust earns patients. Studies show that brand name recognition can increase profits by between 10 to 20 percent.
