How We Help
Telehealth Marketing
Care at a distance
What is Telehealth Marketing?
Telehealth marketing lets people know that you now offer telehealth consultations. This is a new way of doing things for most patients (and most healthcare professionals!) but people are definitely ready to try this new way of healthcare delivery – if they know you offer it.
By actively marketing telemedicine, you are reaching a market favourable to the idea of the virtual visit. You’re protecting your staff and your patients from unnecessary proximity and protecting your practice’s long-term viability. How? By retaining existing patients and gaining new ones who’d prefer to use eHealth just now.
All this telehealth marketing stuff might actually work
Clarity of thought enables clarity of communication. So, as with any new service, you need to think about why you’re offering telehealth and how you’ll run it so that you can communicate clearly with your target audience.
Ask yourself questions about:
Duration
Are you offering telehealth as a temporary response to the COVID-19 pandemic or do you plan to continue it as a long-term care option for some or all patients?
Timeliness
Will it be a real-time service like a video consultation or phone call or will you ask patients to send images (e.g. of wounds) for review later?
Market segmentation
Are you targeting our usual local patients or are you going to expand your geographic reach and take patients from beyond your usual patch?
Capacity
How many telehealth points are feasible in one day? What are the hours of operation?
Above all, what sets your telehealth service apart?
Why should people choose you?
You’ll likely have some questions so we’ve compiled a list of FAQs.
Feel free to call or email us with your questions if they are not on the list.
We’ll use as many opportunities as possible to tell people about your telehealth service, making sure they notice it on your website, your social media posts, your emails, your invoices, and any other times they interact with your practice. We’ll target your existing and potential patients in different ways.
Splice Marketing’s telehealth marketing services include telehealth marketing plans, telehealth patient resources and educational material, online marketing promotion and internal marketing promotions to your current patients.

It’s not the size of your marketing budget but what you do with it that matters.
That’s why we’ll step back and take a look at the big picture. How much you spend, and what you spend it on, will likely change over time. But first, we have to find the real problem and outline the right strategy to solve it.
That’s why we start by offering you a strategy session with us. You’ll get a 30-minute meeting and a digital diagnosis of your current online presence.
