How Health Care Marketers Are Playing the Video Game – and Winning!

While the young folks dabble in Super Mario, Pokémon, Fortnite and Call of Duty, health care marketers have been taking on competitors with a different kind of video game – and, according to a recent survey, they’re tallying up big scores:

  • 76 percent of marketing pros say that advertising via video has helped increase their sales
  • 80 percent claim that video has increased customer visits to – and dwell time on – their website
  • And 81 percent of those customers make a purchase after viewing that company’s video

With over 25 years of experience, MedMen a service of Beard Boy Productions, leverages our proprietary Shoot & Repurpose™ strategy, motion graphics, 3D animation, augmented/virtual reality and much more to add value to every video project – just as we’ve done for clients like BD, Medtronic, Hologic, Teva Pharmaceuticals, Goodbelly Probiotic Fruit Drink, Natrol Melatonin, California Department of Health Services, Boston Scientific, Freedom Innovations, Hoag Hospital, Pomona Valley Hospital Medical Center and Blue Cross and Blue Shields nationwide.
Let’s set up a time to discuss how we can add value to your upcoming projects.

Proposed Tax Law Demands Health Care Marketers Gain a Stronger Competitive Edge

The new tax bill wending its way through Washington right now proposes a repeal of itemized deductions for health care expenses that American taxpayers have enjoyed for decades.

If the bill passes in its current form, according to Mike Smith, president of Southern-California based MedMen, a health care video and animation company, consumers are likely to cut back on medical spending in 2018 — and health care providers will be required to sharpen their marketing efforts in what is sure to become an increasingly competitive chase for fewer patient dollars.

MedMen’s 3 New Year’s Resolutions for Health Care Companies Producing Videos

The media beast is hungry. And in 2018 health care companies like yours must feed it. Regularly. Effectively. Affordably. With online, on air and/or in-person video content that builds your brand as it persuades your audience to take action.

That’s why smart health care marketers are resolving to take a fresh look at how they strategize, conceptualize and produce everything from social media clips to full-blown TV spots. Here, we at MedMen offer three key examples:

Resolution 1: Plan ahead
Resolve to come up with a strategy that identifies your audience, joins them with the unique selling points of your product or service and then leverages the most effective and cost-efficient ways to reach them. Avoid knee-jerk, one-off productions in lieu of a plan that repurposes video footage shot throughout the year across a variety media platforms.

Resolution 2: Be regular
And not in the high-fiber-diet kind of way. Since old videos, unlike fine wine, don’t age well, resolve to frequently post — and continually change out — your social media video postings, spots, even in-house productions. “New” gets attention when it comes to video today. “Old” is too easily ignored.

Resolution 2: Look good
Today, it’s easy to default to producing low-end cell-phone videos or intern-generated animations. But know that in health care, perhaps the most personal of services offered today, how you present yourself both visually and audibly makes a lasting impression on the audience. A video that looks and sounds like a skimpy-budget production, may give the impression that your product or service is of low quality.
