Tips to do Telehealth service on an affordable budget

Whether you’re starting a new Telehealth business or just looking to expand your patient base for existing platform, social media should be part of your practice marketing strategy.

Consider that just having a website or social media profile for your service can improve your search results online.

Let's see how can we promote our Telehealth services on an affordable budget.

1. Choose one or two social networks with the strongest patient presence, and start there. I recommend Facebook as a good starting point.
2. Send out a newsletter or social media campaign to patients announcing that you’re now offering virtual visits, Doctors practice’s availability for appointments, Webinar with doctor health talks about special health conditions and explaining how patients can sign-up to your system.
3. Posting doctor tips or sharing articles from medical websites about seasonal illnesses that commonly impact children, answering questions patients post to your social media.
4. Ask your doctors to respond to patient's questions, Comments and reviews will interest patients to keep coming back to you for more information or will trust and follow you.
5. Print out flyers and post them on community bulletin boards (Coffee Shops, Colleges, other youth engagement centres)
6. Create instructional video of your app which explain how to use app and the benefits.
7. Have receptionists tell patients about virtual visits when a patient calling to confirm appointments
8. Add a short message about the program to your answering or hold message.
9. Hang up promotional hoarding in your office or hospital wall or easily noticeable area also provide some brochures or magazines to read to your walk in customers.
10. Speak personally with patients about the option of virtual care during in-office visits.
11. Link Telehealth app and Web portal on your website. Write plenty of contents about Telehealth services on your website blog.
12. Partnering with another businesses like event promoters and other patient providing communities will also help you to reach patients easily.
