Choose Your Audience Wisely When Managing Healthcare Public Relations

Public Company Articles No Comments »

Choosing your primary audience when designing a public relations campaign is usually a straight-forward decision. However, when developing the public relations campaign for a hospital or similar patient-focused healthcare provider, you face a tricky decision when determining who you want to inform and influence.

Should you focus on the particular portion of the population your healthcare organization serves as patients? Or should you focus on the galaxy of physicians who send people to your institution for medical tests and who rely on your facilities to treat their patients?

Based on my experience in developing and directing healthcare public relations programs for hospitals and other large medical practices and institutions, I will plant my feet firmly on both sides of the argument.

Your course of action depends upon the ultimate goal of your public relations campaign and how you answer these two questions:

* Do you want to increase and strengthen your institution’s bottom line?

* Do you want to increase and strengthen your institution’s stature and reputation in your community as a primary healthcare and social resource?

You may want to answer “yes” to both questions. But unless you have unlimited funds, you must determine how much to spend on reinforcing your institution’s bottom line and how much should go toward strengthening its reputation as an outstanding healthcare resource in the eyes of the general public.

Why should you aim a hospital’s public relations initiatives only at doctors?

Hospitals and other healthcare institutions that want to appeal to and serve more patients must maintain a tight focus on attracting and serving doctors. Doctors are the driving force behind patients’ use of specific hospitals.

When hospitals ask their patients, “Why did you choose this hospital?” Most will answer, “Because this is where my doctor sent me.”

Patents trust their doctors so they follow their advice.

Other than in an emergency or when an institution is renowned for its expertise in a particular illness or specialty, patients don’t show up or make an appointment at a hospital for a test or treatment unless their primary physician or specialist directed them to do so.

Hospitals should conduct very active and focused physician relations programs that keep doctors well informed regarding the hospital’s services, facilities and treatment capabilities.

Increasing the number of doctors associated with your hospital will result in more patients than will publicizing the institution’s facilities, services or capabilities to a broad, general audience.

Why should you aim a hospital’s public relations initiatives at the general public?

Public relations campaigns directed at the general public strengthen a hospital’s overall reputation as a high quality institution; an institution that benefits patients with leading edge services, compassionate care and advanced medical technology.

Such campaigns establish and reinforce the hospital’s reputation as a vital community resource.

They comfort and pre-sell prospective patients when their doctor tells them to go to a particular hospital for tests or treatment. They eliminate the need for a doctor to explain why she/he uses a certain hospital when providing treatment.

And they reinforce your physician-relations campaign by reassuring doctors that they made the right decision when choosing your hospital to treat their patients and connect their name and professional reputation.

Prepare Your Employees to Generate Positive Public Relations For Your Company

Public Company Articles No Comments »

Companies commit huge amounts of time, manpower and money to conduct effective public relations programs and maintain their positive reputations. However, many fail to engage, potentially, their most powerful public relations engines available — their own employees.

Too many companies fail to recognize their employees’ ability to provide support as their organization’s best  ambassadors. Every public relations initiative — and especially every crisis communications plan — should include a sup-plan to inform employees and other internal audiences prior to going public with news and important information.

 

In-person briefings show your concern for employees more pointedly than a memo or newsletter. However, written communications are often the only option. Prepare your employees with key facts so they can step up as knowledgeable public relations advocates. Engage their collective voice in support of your organization’s strengths, objectives and mission.

 

It is beyond your control, but every employee becomes a company spokesperson — good or bad — when they talk to their families, friends and associates. What they say and the impressions they make regarding your organization are determined largely by the amount and quality of information you give them.

 

For example, if your company is planning to introduce a new product, your employees should know everything about the product’s features and benefits at the time of the introduction. Or if your company is advocating certain legislation, employees should know how it would benefit them and your organization.

Including your workforce in the information loop is important because it:

Enables employees to describe knowledgeably your company’s products and services and its point of view on major issues.
Spares employees the belittling experience of first hearing company news from outside sources. You don’t want your employees’ initial exposure to true or alleged facts to occur via the news media, an Internet blog or a relative.
Enables you to explain to employees how your public relations department works with reporters to develop relationships, pitch ideas, contribute background information and facilitate the inclusion of your executives’ quotes in news stories. Employees and others may have no idea of the strategy, effort and professionalism required to deliver high visibility public relations.

The importance of keeping employees abreast of company developments applies to virtually every circumstance. But it is particularly important when you anticipate a major news story — positive or negative. Preparing employees for such a story gives them time to discuss it, ask questions and absorb the facts then knowledgeably present your company’s point of view when the piece goes public.

 

By keeping your employees in the information loop and arming them with accurate and current information, you enable them to reinforce your company’s mission, advocate its strengths and objectives and help to burnish the company’s positive reputation.

Halloween Ghost Hunting – Entertainment Or Simply Terrifying?

Public Company Articles 1 Comment »

To mark Halloween there are many public ghost hunts going on at the most notoriously haunted locations around the UK. This increasingly popular pastime has become fascinating and addictive to many of those that are looking for their own personal experience. Ghostly goings-on and things that go bump in the night are terrifying yet compelling. What is really remarkable is that the public will pay for the privilege of spending the whole night in the darkest of dungeons, or creepiest of castles.

Do ghosts really exist? Can spirits harm us? Will I see something? These are the most common questions asked at a ghost hunt event. Paranormal teams and Mediums suggest that they have the answers to these questions but do they really, and if so why are there so many different answers by so many different experts in the field? Surely there should be one universal agreement, they can hurt us or they can’t. I have been on many ghost hunts where I have had a Medium explaining to us that spirits will not hurt us yet people have been scratched or poked during the night’s vigils, making the whole debate very confusing.

Whatever is going on and whether spirits can hurt us or not, it does not seem to stop people from attempting to find out. Fortunately for ghost hunting companies many more locations are cashing in on the hiring out of their location for these events. It is not uncommon to be paying over one thousand pounds to hire a location for a few hours. This makes me wonder how they are selected in the first place. Yes, it could be agreed that to ghost hunt at an old manor house or castle is aesthetically pleasing and adds credence to the investigation, It may not necessarily mean that it is haunted. There has been so much paranormal activity in a small innocuous pub than what may have been experienced in the oldest and grandest of castles. However, this would be harder to sell as the public do seem to have a pre-conceived idea of what would be haunted and what does not look haunted.

It seems that due to the increasing popularity of ghost hunting and the public’s fascination that there now seems to be a need to clarify whether an activity is actually entertaining if people are being terrified. Perhaps all public ghost hunting companies should have a responsibility to their paying customers and a duty of care to them for what may be experienced on their events. It is confusing, because what may be experienced on a ghost hunt could be very traumatic and life-changing for the customer yet it is done in the name of entertainment. This sounds quite worrying and whilst we may rely on the fact that ghost hunting companies will offer some sort of after-care service for their customers, how do we know that this is happening? You may agree that we all have a choice whether we partake in an activity or not, but as a novice how would you know what your reaction to such an experience may be?

It could be suggested that before anybody books a place on this unique and amazing experience, they think very carefully at how they may react to the abnormal situation they may find themselves in. How many times have you sat in a dark, cold and damp dungeon at 2am on your own and heard strange noises? What will you do if somebody touches you and you can’t see them? Whilst you may crave the experience, it certainly does leave its mark on you for a long time to come.

Background Check Companies – 6 Tips For Conducting the Most Effective Searches

Public Company Articles 2 Comments »

Not so long ago, if you wanted to perform a background check, you would have had two options: pay a substantial amount to a private investigator or spend countless hours trawling through public records.

Thankfully, with the wonders of modern technology, it is possible to use one of the online background check companies to find information about almost any person in the country.

So, if you want to perform a background check on a prospective employee, a new lover or a potential business partner, here are some tips to help you find the best company.

First, it is important to remember that the best company for you might not be the best company for the next person. In other words, finding the right records search site is often dependent on what your needs are. Therefore, before looking at any background check sites, it is recommended that you take a moment to think about what you require from the service.
When it comes to researching your options, you will be able to narrow down the choice by eliminating those that do not suit your needs. For example, there are large numbers of online records search facilities that specialize in one specific area of public records. If you require a comprehensive background check, then a company that is primarily concerned with marriage and divorce records is probably not right for you.
If you are searching for a reputable company, you should bear in mind that these services will come at a cost. Usually, however, the fee is nominal. There are sites that claim to offer a free service, but typically these are best avoided.
Offers of free background checks may simply be misleading. However, in some cases, these sites are fraudulent and may request that you download a dodgy piece of software or could sell your personal information to third parties. If you cannot afford a reputable service, it is a good idea to visit state and local authorities’ websites, as these can provide public records for free. However, you should be aware that this can be a time consuming process, especially if you have to visit several state sites to retrieve the information you need.
Before inserting any of your personal or payment details it is always prudent to read the company’s terms and conditions. Moreover, ensure that you have read the privacy policy to guarantee that the search remains confidential.
If you are likely to make several searches over the course of a month or year, it is well worth thinking about purchasing a subscription to one of the background check companies, as this could save you lots of money. A subscription usually offers unlimited searches for the specified period, so is perfect if you are in the process of hiring a workforce.

Obviously, these are just a few of the things that you may want to consider when trying to find the best background check companies. However, this advice will help you to highlight the reputable sites.

Top Reasons a Company Should Host Show Displays

Public Company Articles No Comments »

There are many reasons that businesses should consider hosting trade show exhibits. In today’s competitive business market, these events allow companies to stay on top of the latest industry trends, expose their own products and services, learn new things so that they may further refine their business model, and much more. Trade show exhibits also are a great way to show off your products and services to a lot of prospects in a relatively short time. These events can be highly beneficial to businesses, and should definitely be considered as a marketing and sales method.

Showcase Your Business With A Personal Presence

Trade show exhibits are a great place for companies to interact with people face-to-face. The predominance of internet communication in the 21st century has, in some cases, virtually eliminated the need for one-on-one, personal communication. However, these events often showcase new products, and it is quite helpful for attendees to be able to see these products tested out in person before making the decision to purchase them.

Visitors like the fact that trade show exhibits allow them to get immediate answers from vendors. Trade show displays also enable your physical presence in the marketplace. You are able to speak with other people in the business, gain new ideas, and share tips you may have learned along the way. Companies can take part in educational seminars and networking events at these events as well.

Increase Sales

Meeting new people is always good for business. Besides meeting other people in the industry, companies at exhibits are able to, above all, meet potential clients. Larger events can often have thousands of visitors in one day. This gives you the opportunity to generate new leads that can translate into more revenue for your business. This is probably one of the most obvious and important reasons to attend these events – exposure and the possibility of meeting new customers!

Increase Knowledge And Spread The Word

At trade show displays, business executives are able to learn about new trends in the industry by viewing the competition. Since the competition’s business information is on display, it is easy to see what they are up to and evaluate how you compare. Educating oneself about the competition and learning about new directions in the industry can help companies address their weaknesses and reassess their business model.

Trade show exhibits are also great places for you to get your name out as well. The press attends these shows to tell the public about companies like yours. Take this opportunity to get the word out about what you do. Make sure you stand out from the competition, and create that ever-important, positive first impression.

Another benefit of attending trade show displays is that companies are able to position or reposition themselves in the marketplace. Reminding the public of what you offer, or showing them that you have made exciting improvements and changes in recent years, will help translate into more sales.

All types of businesses should consider attending events and shows. They are a great opportunity to introduce new products, network with industry professionals, view the competition, and ultimately gain more customers.
