        Marketing Clinical Health Care

        Marketing Clinical Health Care
        Back to Basics of Honouring the Self

        Marketing: a common topic, yes. 
        Done from the heart with emotional ethics? Rarely.

                                             “It all starts with you; your brilliance, your strengths and weakness.”
        Instructor, lecturer and registered therapist Robynne Tennant guides students, practising professionals and instructors of registered therapies through some of the prickly areas of marketing for the unique fields health care workers operate in.

        “Marketing is all about knowing your product. In our type of health care, WE in essence, are our product. It’s easy to get hyped up about your profession, but you, the therapist, are a big part of your package and its selling features too! Looking head on in that mirror and crying out: FABULOUS, that can be the hard part.”

        Self discovery sections help identify selling features unique to each therapist, and assist the practitioner in identifying their own personal target market decreasing wasted time, money not to mention effort, barking up fruitless trees.
        No cost through high cost marketing, marketing timelines, logo considerations and competitors are addressed clearly in meaningful, easy to apply ways. Each individual’s situation can utilize the exercises and discussion found within drawing clear meaningful outcomes for their professional use.
