DESCRIPTION

http://www.placidsolutions.com/medical-tourism-visual-storytelling/ - Today, when people are seeking medical services locally, they are able to communicate by personally visiting a center, talking to a doctor, and hence having a physical interaction with the system. While in the medical tourism industry none of these physical interactions is possible when a customer is considering treatment abroad. When used properly, a Visual Story-Telling Composition provides you with a great alternative to break that barrier of communication with your online customers, and making them remember you, your company and your brand.

Visual Story-telling is the transmission of messages using VISUALS accompanied with words.

Page 4: Visual StoryTelling in Medical Tourism

4

These IMAGES SEND a MESSAGE to an specific audience.

VISUALS are the visual elements which have been put together for making up a particular message.

Page 5: Visual StoryTelling in Medical Tourism

People are attracted by Visual Stories because they transport them to other time or place where they desire to be.

Page 6: Visual StoryTelling in Medical Tourism

Visual Story-telling transforms a concept into something more “tangible”, a snapshot of what an audience expects or desires.

Page 7: Visual StoryTelling in Medical Tourism

Thanks to our innate ability to process visual details, Visual elements help us

connect with the world around us.

In the medical tourism industry, over 80% of the people are searching details of medical travel solutions online.

In the medical tourism industry any “real” physical interaction is NOT possible with a customer, most of our communication prior

to customer arrival is via internet.

The non-verbal communications including body language, facial expressions, or voice tone are NOT available.

Besides the communication problem, everyone displays same message, as a result our brains have a lot of difficulty

remembering who is saying what.

10

Page 11: Visual StoryTelling in Medical Tourism

To make things more complex, words are harder to remember than an image, video or composition. The industry research states that over 65% of people retain a visual image much longer than

written words that they have read somewhere.

11

Page 12: Visual StoryTelling in Medical Tourism

As a result, we definitely need Visual Stories, but they have to represent our business and help us communicate with our

audience, sending them the right message.

Visual Story Telling in medical tourism implies EXPERIENCE

Page 15: Visual StoryTelling in Medical Tourism

15

Tell your audience a story implying EXPERIENCE, they will feel related to it.

Page 16: Visual StoryTelling in Medical Tourism

16

The story must portray not only what customers will experience and live, but the perfect idealized environment for the target

audience related to it.

Page 17: Visual StoryTelling in Medical Tourism

17

The story must activate old memories in people, which implies using childhood positive experiences to encourage the purchase, that stimuli will generate an awaken desire for the activity viewed, and the desire to live the experience,

increasing the possibility of action and purchase.

Page 18: Visual StoryTelling in Medical Tourism

18

This also means you have to illustrate the real actions of real life in every single visual stimuli if this

would be appropriate for the content. Real

actions in real life, will endow with

credibility the story and whatever contents

you’re trying to market.

Page 19: Visual StoryTelling in Medical Tourism

19

Page 20: Visual StoryTelling in Medical Tourism

Visual elements must be chosen accordingly to the content, e.g. if you are talking about IVF Treatments, the Visuals must

reflect that.

20

Page 21: Visual StoryTelling in Medical Tourism

A Visual Story can be created with one, two, three or a variety of elements and still have the same impact on the audience.

21

Page 22: Visual StoryTelling in Medical Tourism

22

On Visual Story-Telling, the composition MUST reflect a CLEAR VISUAL MESSAGE,

and it must seem real.

Page 23: Visual StoryTelling in Medical Tourism

This composition must meet certain standards such as:

Show REAL actions, show PEOPLETo be inviting & emotionalMust show LIFEDenote brightness, luminosity and positivity using COLORS & contrasts

Show a context (stories need to be on a certain time and place)Feel UNIQUE and believableReflect the CULTURE (respect all cultures)Teach people somethingGive a personal touchShow white/blank spaces into the composition to give the feeling of relaxation and an “escape” to the sight

When necessary, use text to increase the impact of the experience or provide an explanation.

Imagine that you are your own customer: What would you like to see?

25

Page 26: Visual StoryTelling in Medical Tourism

26

Now Ask Yourself:

Who is your audience?What are their issues?Why is this important to

them?What alternatives exist for

them?How can you help?How can they use it?Why should they care?Will they benefit?Why should they buy from

you?With the answers to these questions you’ll understand what is important to your audience and your visual story will be much more

effective.

Remember you have LESS than 30 seconds to create a connection & interest in the composition you are showing.

Remember than a single image can tell a whole story, whether you decide to use ONE visual element or a variety of them, everything will depend on the context and how strong is the visual impact in our audience.

BEGINNING, “THE CHARACTER STORY” 30

The character is the person or people in the visuals with whom the audience can relate. The engagement occurs when customers look at themselves reflected in the story, something called “mirror effect”, which is usually referred to our own need to see ourselves & our actions in other people.

Page 31: Visual StoryTelling in Medical Tourism

BEGINNING, “THE CHARACTER STORY” 31

Use the "mirror effect" to your benefit, your customer will look at himself reflected in the story.

Using this “effect” in Visual Storytelling produces empathy, a natural human emotion, in the audience, generating identification with the character as well as

provoke the urge to continue reading.

People will ask themselves: “what will happen to the main character?” while feeling identified with the problem.

MIDDLE: “The Idealization”

33

The idealization reflects how things could be for the character, where him or her will live different adventures, face obstacles or even better, where he/she will have the best results during the story.

Page 34: Visual StoryTelling in Medical Tourism

MIDDLE: “The Idealization”

34

The idealization must reflect clearly what the customer wants, e.g. the end result of the treatment for the character.

You can use one single picture or a variety of Visuals, everything will depend of the context and what do you want to show.

The END: “A Real Resolution”

In the resolution, it’s important to include real life results, to show the possibilities to the customer; this will help people identify with the story as you are showing real people. Real testimonials and results build TRUST in your business.

The CTA (Call to Action)

In the story we also have to include a Call to Action Button or Banner, a simple phrase such as “Give us a call”, can change everything and boosts the “take action” of your audience.

Make it easy for people to contact you or find you!

Using elements with poor visual impact or poor contrast.

Use visuals that will misrepresent your business.

Showing the obvious & not market the experience.

Making use of photos that are too difficult to understand, or that are

not related to the content.

Using images with inappropriate lighting.

Forget to include real people and/or real scenarios.

Poor quality in the visual elements.

Don’t experiment with the elements, placing the first photo you get.

Don’t know the message or concept before you create the story.

Don’t combine words (copy) for it to be more understandable. It’s

important to emphasize the experience and the action in the photos.

When used properly, a Visual Story-Telling Composition provides you with a great alternative to break that barrier of communication
