Preparing to Pivot: Marketing Beyond COVID-19
Although COVID-19 may be with us for some time to come, the pandemic will come to an end and hospitals must be prepared to hit the ground running with marketing that drives patient volume to profitable services. Our hospitals are facing a financial crisis that could threaten their very survival. With that in mind, we can’t wait to start planning and developing marketing content until the pandemic is over. Our response has to be swift and well planned.
As the pandemic winds down, your plan for moving forward must be in place with a clear strategy in place, marketing channels defined and content ready to launch. The transition from COVID-19 communications to revenue-generating marketing could be abrupt for internal and external audiences. Your plan must help these constituents through the transition.
Our hope is that the resources on this page will help you get started with the development of your post-pandemic marketing strategy.
