Sharing content (such as media or published

content) for the sake of attracting new customers

Common rules

Content must be valuable for the end-user/ reader

Content should be solving a problem the consumer has or

meeting an unmet need

Content should be consistent and the quality reproducible

wide-range of health topics

online resource for families caring for children with

Type I Diabetes

Investment in Social Media Will Become a Necessity,

Not a Luxury

2014 will be the year social media marketing moves from

‘should have’ to ‘must have’

Measureable benefits such as lead generation, referral

traffic, and revenue will increase in 2014

And for Pharmacy?

Requires a focus on the changing pharmacy

environment

Health reforms, drug pricing, and downward

pressure on margins from external sources

Result (and may force) new paradigms and niches of

pharmacy practice

When new initiatives are undertaken current and

potential customers need to be aware

This requires customer-facing advertisement

Tips/ Tricks of SEO

1. Korhan, Jeff. John Wiley & Sons, Inc., Hoboken, NJ. 2013. Built-In Social: Essential Social Marketing Practice for Every Small Business.

Facebook is important but not enough

For the most part what happens on Facebook stays on

Facebook

“…becoming proficient with search doesn’t need to

be complicated, it just requires you understand a

practice of learning what your customers find most

useful, creating it for them, and helping them locate it

using the social networks.”

BLOG

Self-published website where you can write about…

Very important for current SEO algorithms

When people share your blog with others they do so

by sharing a link

Web has thousands of links from one site to the next

This process is called backlinking or inbound linking

The more links your blog has the better

Blogging Rules of Thumb

1. Create valuable and relevant content

2. Do not advertise in every post

3. Use your own voice to make it personal

4. Allow tools to share your work via social media

5. Write for the audience reading your article

6. Remain cognizant of HIPAA and

professionalism

Blog as Hub

using social media

marketing goals

Do not let social media marketing become an obligation

Considerations
