Whole Person Marketing is a framework that demands brands and marketers to be intentional, empathetic, authentic and inclusive in communicating with healthcare consumers who are dealing with trauma, disease, disability, or a chronic medical condition.
As healthcare consumers are increasing their own knowledge and reach for brand choice via social media support groups and other peer connection points, so is their openness to share personal experiences and challenges.
This climate paves the way for brands to evolve into genuine allies, not just service providers, by creating bridges for relationships and support that spring from campaign messaging and connection points.
In her fifth book, Lisa Wells offers a proven strategic pathway with Whole Person Marketing that healthcare marketers can use to better understand and connect with their audiences.
Incorporating innovative thinking with educational resources and community partners, she guides readers in ways to foster a brand relationship that goes far deeper than a medical need.
With real-world examples and guest interviews from a variety of healthcare and disability backgrounds, Lisa provides the insight and training you need to excel as a relationship builder and authentic communicator within a community that is looking for help.
Healthcare marketers can quickly apply the insights in this book to create content, initiatives, services, and more that resonate with the realities of their consumers' lives.
Although Whole Person Marketing might seem like a niche approach, this strategy holds the potential to revolutionize how healthcare organizations engage with patients and consumers, providing a more empathetic and supportive customer experience that begins with compassionate communication and ends in lifelong healing.
