The other creative considerations

So, in addition to size, here are some of the other creative considerations...

6. Think single-focus offer. Nail this one down tight. Postcards are offer-driven, meaning that it is the precise, strong offer that needs to be communicated instantly. There is no time or space for long or detailed text in this media. Start and end with the main point–a clear and compelling offer. You need to grab attention and communicate a single-focus message in just a few words. 7. Think benefit. Within the confined space, connect the offer/message to a benefit of importance to the reader. The offer is the "why they should act now," but the bigger-picture benefit is "what's in it for them." Maintain focus, but there may be more than one benefit. 8. Think bold graphics. The visual elements of a postcard (color, picture, symbol) need to be strong to help get attention and be directly supportive of the message. Anything weak is not seen, and an unrelated graphic is meaningless, confusing or distracting. 9. Think call to immediate action. A well-composed creative message inspires response, so the means of response–your phone number, for example-needs to be obvious. (You would be surprised at how often we find that the phone number is not obvious and sometimes missing.) And having a clear deadline, expiration date, limited quantity or consequence of inaction that is connected to the offer communicates immediacy and increases response.

These considerations are part of the formula for success and, frankly, it's a tough creative challenge to manage all these tasks with few words and small size. You can call us to discuss how postcards may have a well-considered place in your marketing program.

Some statistics related to web marketing in Asia

 

88% of online search dollars are spent on paid search results, even though 85% of searchers click on organic results.

Many marketers spend money on online advertising, particularly paid search, but none of them started to take advantage of the 85% of clicks that organic search produces.

63% of search related purchases occur offline and for some categories, this number is higher.

In a webvisible / Nielson study, 82% of respondents said that they’ve used the internet to find the local business. 80% say they’ve researched a product / service online before buying it locally.

Only 44% of small business even have a web site and your website need to be visible in search engines whether you sell online or not.

Hitwise reported that paid search engine traffic to websites was down to 26%, yet organic search traffic was up.

iCrossing study found that when a brand appears in both the organic and paid results, the searcher clicked on that brand 92% of the time compared to 60% of clicks when appear in one location only.

Advertising death spiral – consumers filter out advertising because it’s not relevant to their current task. In turn, advertisers get louder, causing consumers to filter more and advertisers to yell even louder.

Study focused on differences in how men and women search found that “on average, men make decisions quicker, spend less time on sites, are more likely to have pre-established “favored” vendor sites that they use in the search process and show less resistance to sponsored listings. Women tended to be more deliberate in reading search results, spend more time with their searches and spend more time on sites before making decisions.

The Future of Mobile Marketing For Medical Practices

A few months ago, I went to see Jay Chow concert in Taiwan.  When I bought our tickets, I could also purchase and download their latest album, which I did. I also signed up for text alerts to get up-to-date information on new albums and upcoming concerts.  I had a moment of surprise when I checked my phone recently after receiving a text to see that I had a message from Jay Chow.  It was a marketing announcement of their next world tour beginning soon.  I started thinking about the application of Mobile Marketing for my business and for the doctors. Cell phones are everywhere today. Only physicians seem to keep beepers anymore and they are trading them in for smart phones.  They are less of a burden and more of a tool; a way to keep in touch and express oneself.  The future of mobile marketing looks to be bright. Very bright.

Now, more than ever before, people are connected with their network wherever they are. We send and receive messages as a regular part of our day.  Savvy marketers have latched onto the wave and are now communicating with consumers via texts and making sure that their websites are mobile browser friendly.  This is a trend that successful physicians are adapting as part of their marketing plan.  Bon Jovi is texting out upcoming events and so can you.  Are you buying new equipment, offering new medical services?  When patients fill out their new patient intake form, add a box to check to sign-up for texts by providing their cell number. 

Medical professionals can follow this example and set-up a Mobile Marketing plan specifically tailored to their specialty, their practice, and meeting their patients’ needs by providing information via their preferred method of communication.
