Put your video “elevator speech” on your website.
Most healthcare providers have a wide range of services and information to offer, usually with a lot of moving parts. Solo practitioners, group medical practices, hospitals and clinics all have a range of services and a ton of information in their websites. Often it’s a complicated story, and a website video is a great way to quickly tell people what you do and how you can help them.
It amounts to crafting a well-considered “elevator speech,” and posting it right up front on your website. Video provides the site visitor with quick understanding of a complicated message. Video is an awesome tool for just that purpose.
On our own website, for example, HealthcareSuccess.com greets thousands of visitors each month. Because we do so many things, we professionally created a two-minute healthcare video titled Advanced Healthcare Marketing Strategies. The message is how we help you grow your business, whether you represent a hospital, a practice or a corporation. This is something you can do as well, but if this is a distilled overview and showcase for you, be sure it is a high image and consistent with your overall branding effort.
