Week 1: Marketing with Twitter, LinkedIn, Social Influencers

 I did some research to see where I may be able to reach potential plastic surgeons directly.   I found that my current Plastic Surgeon accounts are in fact on LinkedIn.  I can try to connect with them, but I feel that most likely they would connect with their peers as they are typically Chief of Plastic Surgery at their institution.  Perhaps the best idea with LinkedIn is to gather names of other Chiefs of Plastic Surgery of my target hospitals to then directly reach out to them.  

 

Also, regarding Twitter, I feel that I need to follow key hospitals and their Chiefs of Plastic Surgery to both be updated on their news and to hope that they will follow me back.  I just need to make sure to post interesting, useable content.  The strategy is both to reach out to the plastic surgery staffs who likely recommend products to patients as well as directly to the PS to remain top of mind awareness.  Since this is a short read (especially for PS with little time), perhaps I can use it to introduce topics, like what a patient experience is (this is quite valuable information) and how to offer an improved recovery for patients.  Experimentation should yield valuable data to analyze to see what the best avenues are.

 

I have been pondering reaching out to Social Influencers as there are several (unfortunate as it is) famous women who have had breast cancer.  The issue is to reach them early enough before they have surgery.  It may not be a hindrance as sometimes plastic surgery is later in their journey and many women have multiple surgeries.  Perhaps I can reach out to a list even now as maybe through their journeys and networks, they can be of help.  One issue also is lack of budget.  But, as this is truly a community service, perhaps something can be worked out.

 

Currently I do have an account for LinkedIn and Twitter.  For personal reasons, I just like to keep them focused on people I want to do business with.  I would need to change my Twitter account name as it pertained to my previous job.  I think my priorities at this time as it is the most interesting to me is to simultaneously reach out to famous women that have had breast cancer and research key contacts at my hospital target list.  The later I would hope to get emails for as plastic surgeons have read my emails in the past.

 

Any recommendations are always welcome.  This was a great focus, inspirational and eye-opening assignment.


Moving forward,

Marla Hope

Week 1A:  Let's get blogging This is my first go at creating a blog and posting to it so that you will be interested in reading it and coming back for more information.  Therefore, let’s start at the beginning; choosing a theme to entice you.   Here are the reasons I chose the Notable theme:   1.      This theme is  notable  as an extension of my personality, primarily striving for organized minimalism.  I want to present you with information to quickly  grasp without clutter on your screen.  As a fellow achiever, I’d like to help you comfortably reach your goal of grasping all the information in one full swoop.     2.     This theme is  notable   for a purposeful format with one section of text with one photo.  You can chose to digest each morsel by reading the text or by looking a picture (quietly speaking a thousand words).   Once I learn how to format the phot...

Week 14 Facebook Insight Analysis

Facebook Insights for Aztec Brewing Company:     In the last 28 days, 7 % less people were reached by Facebook.  Yet, the audience you are trying to reach is more engaged—up 33%!  The page likes are down 33%, perhaps as new guests were nearly impossible to achieve with the varying laws of restaurant openings.   Mobile has always been dominant for Facebook, yet about 30% are now on computers as many people are home.   Regarding the top reaching posts, it looks like a trend of types of beer offerings and hours.  Perhaps the highest reach was also when the Brewery was open.     How interesting that there is little disparity between days of the week when fans are online.  No doubt that people have more time all week to go online.  Wow, they are on all day from about 8:30 AM to about 9:30.  The reactions and comments look like they have been higher around the Election, Veterans Day and Thanksgiving...

Week 15: My Marketing Strategy Post One

  I feel that for the consumer, Facebook and Instagram are best to start with.     At least on FB I can control a paid audience.     Also, FB is the correct age demographic for my products.     I am most excited about Facebook as I understand it and there can be great interaction.     I can also make it a resource and inspirational platform for patients at all stages through their journey.     I am also diving more into graphic design and look forward to incorporating it in my communications!     My calling for sure!   I would like to try a contest combined with a survey to see what products my customer base is interested in.  I think there is a way to upload a customer email list and reach them (paid, I believe).  It sure would also be a way to gain likes.  I feel it would be best to have a library of meaningful posts first in this oversaturated world.  I also very much like th...
