DQ #6: Healthcare Marketing and Promotion

When developing a marketing plan, it is important to understand that healthcare consumers differ from consumers in other markets. One of the most significant distinctions is that healthcare consumers are often not the ones to select the purchasing products or services. Instead, doctors or other healthcare providers decide what services or products consumers need. This means that when marketing in healthcare, organizations should consider both the consumer and the provider.
