Video marketing in the healthcare industry is a trend that has been gaining momentum over the years. The massive switch to the virtual world that occurred in 2020 due to the COVID-19 pandemic added fuel to this trend’s fire, and made it a great way to personalize your marketing efforts from afar.
But how can you incorporate video marketing strategies into your overall marketing scheme? There are several ways you can achieve this, and they don’t have to stretch your budget.

When you think of a video, you most likely think about a pre-recorded promo with a set duration. However, video marketing goes far beyond that.

Explainer videos are a great way to showcase your brand and display your product or service. This can be especially helpful for products that buyers prefer to physically see, such as healthcare medical devices.
And these videos don’t need to be Hollywood-quality. So long as they clearly display whatever message you want to send, they can be effective in your healthcare video marketing strategy.
Sales emails are a staple in any digital marketing campaign. They’re essential for maintaining connections with current customers and pushing new ones further down the sales funnel.
And adding video to your marketing and sales emails is a great way to personalize it. Think about it this way: Are you more likely to do business with a company that only sends cookie-cutter, plain-text emails, or one that sends personalized videos?
Personalization is a great way to increase the click-through rates of your emails. This increases the number of visitors to your site, expanding the reach of your content and your performance in Google rankings.
