Poor Online Marketing Hurts Medspas

By Ceri Marsdan


There are a lot of poorly designed websites out there, and in the high tech Medical Aesthetics industry, this is no exception. Old and outdated platforms, no lead generation tactics, and bad color schemes, these are seen in many websites despite much better options.

Many companies including MedSpas have Facebook pages that are semi-automated and post meaningless news items. Social networks are full of such accounts, spouting links with no actual value attached to them. These profiles get no attention whatsoever. Interacting with and engaging people is what social networks are for. Having a poll, an interesting photo, a contest to win a great prize, these are some good ways to get people commenting and interacting on a website. When these visitors are engaged like this, they are much more likely to actually support the business and follow on social feeds. Twitter is good to use to begin conversing with consumers, and remember to reply to comments left on your profile, and return messages sent.

Email is actually one of the most powerful tools available to online marketers today. A lot of physicians are not even aware that email still maters. It is fairly common to see MedSpas have no email list to leverage all these years of relationship building. A quality email list of people who care about what you have to say is truly priceless and can be literally turned into on-demand cash flow with the right promotion.

Inbound marketing uses content marketing because it's extremely effective. The algorithms that Google uses to find results is continuously being upgraded and improved, and newer content shows up higher in the list. The trend is toward social media affecting search engine results, and more visitors end up on sites who use them, and keep customers interested. A lot of methods can be used to reach customers and having a simple blog is a good way to begin. An effective and innovative marketing campaign must be an important part of any MedSpa's overall business plan, to make various kinds of content all over the web. Putting yourself in the client's shoes in all aspects of the process of retaining services is important. If people are searching the internet for a service such as yours, if your name keeps showing up, you will appear to be more credible to them. If your web presence is more prominent, people will trust you more than other companies that offer similar services.

Reviews on the web are one of the only real sources of information about a clinic or doctor's services, and patients like to read these. The biggest block that a company has on the internet is to gain the trust of the site's visitors. The increased credibility of having a third party talk about their experience with your company's services will help a potential client to trust your business more. When the message is delivered by a customer who has had experience with your company, the new visitor will take this more seriously. A lot of the advertising that happens for medical services is word-of-mouth, and it is quite effective.

Services are offered online on websites by almost every single MedSpa. A site is not all-encompassing, but it's a great start to get new patients, and keep the ones you have. MedSpas can be researched in every city using the internet, and people are always reading up about the physicians at these facilities, and the experience that the client had overall.
