Many healthcare in the world have adopted the healthcare marketing
strategy to meet the consumers of their services and explains their
services to them as way to lure them to buy their products. The health
care marketing strategy is very important to heath providers especially
use of websites and social media to find consumers of their product.
Mayo clinic is one the best healthcare providers in the world that has
utilized marketing strategies to become famous and expand its
services. They have established themselves as leader in healthcare in
the world due to utilization of digital marketing such social media
where they have managed to meet patients in the whole world and
utilizes that opportunities to explain to patients about healthcare
services they offer (Aiello, 2015) . Mayo clinic jumped into healthcare
marketing as early as 1997 and they have been expanding over time.
The most effective marketing strategy is use of technology such
digital marketing which within a very short period it can reach to
millions of people in the world. Mayo clinic has recognized the
benefit of using technology to market its product to its consumers. The
health care marketing strategy that Mayo clinic uses enable them to
meet consumers where they are and target them when they really in
need of healthcare services.1
Unlike most health facilities in the globe, Mayo got into digital
marketing early enough and registered their brand to customers way
back in 1997, and have tremendously been developing their online
existence ever since (Sheryl Coughlin, 2015) . The organization has
realized the strength of social and online marketing and has invested a
lot in the development process of their digital marketing strategy.
Through this strategy, the health care body utilizes its wealth of online
content to develop early and strong bond between their customers and
themselves (Dahlen, 2010). Mayo has hit a high number of followers
in twitter which is approximately 1.5 million and the likes in their
Facebook page is around 1 million. This demonstrates their incredible
abilities in the globe of health care. Instead of developing a broadcast
in their online platforms like many other healthcare facilities, they
have modified theirs to be a conversation platform where they answer
health questions, give stories about patients and raise awareness for
better health. This enhances the trust and the loyalty the customers
hold for this health providers. In the summer of the year 2015, the
Mayo clinic launched a program known as #StrongArmSelfie. A great
number of people posted online of their pictures through
#StrongArmSelfie program, flexing and showing their biceps and
spread the awareness about screening for colorectal cancer. This did
help them much to build on their brand and develop a great
relationship between their customers and themselves.
The digital marketing strategy has gone to a great extent of developing
mobile applications. Smartphones have developed to becoming bigger
parts of our lives and the management of Mayo has decided to
embrace the new channel of communication. The Patient App as they
have named it, allow patients to gain access to health care information
and do appointment scheduling. Another smartphone app they have
developed is the Pregnancy App which assist new mother of the king
of events to expect during their pregnancies and the lifestyle they
should embrace to ensure the baby is health and safe (Wright-
Peterson, 2016). To ease fears of patients especially in the area of
surgery, the facility had uploaded videos of various procedures. A
patient or customer may read about a surgery procedure and not
understand the phases involved and this helps the person to understand
better through practical experience. The marketing strategies they
have employed has enabled the health care facility meet its consumers
from wherever they are, providing services to customers at their exact
time of need. Through this strategy, the Mayo has been able to enjoy a
good share of the market and developed to become one of the most
developing and growing facilities in the world of health. This strategy
ensures that the marketing body is always in contact with their
customers, answering their questions and responding to their
comments.1
Hospital and health provides are very slow in the development and
implementation of the latest marketing trends, but in the year 2015,
research shows that many hospitals had engaged in online marketing
and social marketing strategies. We know that consumers in the
current world will start online to gather information about a certain
infection, symptoms and the mode of treatment availed or rather
provided by various health providers. Considering that Mayo has
established its digital strategy in 1997, they have gained a greater base
and have much wealth in their online platform which help customers
chose them over other many hospital and this ensure they enjoy high
profits and possess a good market share. For example, most patients
are no interested in acute kidney failure. But if their loved ones or
themselves are diagnosed for the infection, they needed specific
knowledge about the disorder, instead of other general kidney
infections. They want real- time information about the health concern
they are specifically interested in. All this information is readily
available in the website and other online platforms of Mayo which are
accessed with ease by their customers and patients and this shows that
Mayo management cares about the wellbeing of their distinguished
customers.1
Marketing strategies
For Mayo clinic to remain competitive in the market, it must develop
some strategies to shape the buying decision of the customers. One-
way Mayo can shape buying decision of the customers is through
orienting themselves around greater transparency of cost, quality
processes and the services they offer. The major task the Mayo clinic
will have to is to communicate to consumers the value of product and
service they offer in a way that consumer will be in position to
compare the cost and quality of services to create confidence to
consumers to continue buying the products. Most of the customers are
interested in online information about the price and quality of services
(Sheryl Coughlin, 2015) . Therefore, Mayo clinic should engage
customers more on social media about the quality and price of their
serves.1
Mayo clinic should adopt a retail mindset approach which offer more
convenient services and support to customer. Many healthcare
providers have entered in market and they are utilizing this approach
which has already started working for them. This poses a danger to
Mayo clinic if they don’t adopt this strategy.1
Another way Mayo clinic can shape the buying behavior of consumer
is through understanding consumers’ behavior and attitudes.
Understanding customer not only has the ability to allow Mayo clinic
to gain market share but also generate new conversations that can lead
to better outcome and fend of competition. This consumer-centered
approach helps to identify an understand consumer segments and
shape the attitude and behavior of customer. With understanding of
consumers changes in preferences and taste, Mayo clinic will be in
position to innovate its services to satisfy the customers need.
Targeting and personalizing interaction between the health care and
consumer can be a great tool to identifying the root cause of the
factors that dissatisfy the consumers, which will result to winning
them.1
Furthermore, Mayo clinic may also be aware of new entrant of health
care provider who have different view on healthcare care delivery
which may shift the customers buying behavior. Most of them come
with a wave of innovation and new discoveries which may attract
customers to buy their products and abandon the Mayo clinic
products. Therefore, Mayo clinic should be vigilant in order to modify
its services delivery to counter the competition offered by new entrant
in the healthcare sector. Mayo clinic should take their innovation
beyond the healthcare services to partnering with other service
provider to create more awareness of their products. Other industries
such as online retail and telecommunication provide a good platform
for Mayo clinic to partners with them to create more potential
customers from every corner.1
In conclusion, it’s evident that Mayo clinic have become a world
leader in healthcare provision due to effective utilization of digital
healthcare marketing which has enabled them to create a community
of patients from all over the world and they can easily reach them in
any time. Healthcare is not in isolation and many other new healthcare
providers are joining the market every day. Therefore, it is important
to remain vigilant to ensure that you keep on evaluating the services
and products you deliver the customer. This will go far in helping you
to improve your services and identifying the change of taste and
preference in consumers in order to provide the products the
consumers need. Healthcare provider should also keep on evaluating
its marketing strategies to give room for changes and identifying new
channels to meeting the customers that are developing every day.

shape the attitude and behavior of customer. With understanding of
consumers changes in preferences and taste, Mayo clinic will be in
position to innovate its services to satisfy the customers need.
Targeting and personalizing interaction between the health care and
consumer can be a great tool to identifying the root cause of the
factors that dissatisfy the consumers, which will result to winning
them.1
Furthermore, Mayo clinic may also be aware of new entrant of health
care provider who have different view on healthcare care delivery
which may shift the customers buying behavior. Most of them come
with a wave of innovation and new discoveries which may attract
customers to buy their products and abandon the Mayo clinic
products. Therefore, Mayo clinic should be vigilant in order to modify
its services delivery to counter the competition offered by new entrant
in the healthcare sector. Mayo clinic should take their innovation
beyond the healthcare services to partnering with other service
provider to create more awareness of their products. Other industries
such as online retail and telecommunication provide a good platform
for Mayo clinic to partners with them to create more potential
customers from every corner.1
In conclusion, it’s evident that Mayo clinic have become a world
leader in healthcare provision due to effective utilization of digital
healthcare marketing which has enabled them to create a community
of patients from all over the world and they can easily reach them in
any time. Healthcare is not in isolation and many other new healthcare
providers are joining the market every day. Therefore, it is important
to remain vigilant to ensure that you keep on evaluating the services
and products you deliver the customer. This will go far in helping you
to improve your services and identifying the change of taste and
preference in consumers in order to provide the products the
consumers need. Healthcare provider should also keep on evaluating
its marketing strategies to give room for changes and identifying new
channels to meeting the customers that are developing every day.
Unlike most health facilities in the globe, Mayo got into digital
marketing early enough and registered their brand to customers way
back in 1997, and have tremendously been developing their online
existence ever since (Sheryl Coughlin, 2015) . The organization has
realized the strength of social and online marketing and has invested a
lot in the development process of their digital marketing strategy.
Through this strategy, the health care body utilizes its wealth of online
content to develop early and strong bond between their customers and
themselves (Dahlen, 2010). Mayo has hit a high number of followers
in twitter which is approximately 1.5 million and the likes in their
Facebook page is around 1 million. This demonstrates their incredible
abilities in the globe of health care. Instead of developing a broadcast
in their online platforms like many other healthcare facilities, they
have modified theirs to be a conversation platform where they answer
health questions, give stories about patients and raise awareness for
better health. This enhances the trust and the loyalty the customers
hold for this health providers. In the summer of the year 2015, the
Mayo clinic launched a program known as #StrongArmSelfie. A great
number of people posted online of their pictures through
#StrongArmSelfie program, flexing and showing their biceps and
spread the awareness about screening for colorectal cancer. This did
help them much to build on their brand and develop a great
relationship between their customers and themselves.
The digital marketing strategy has gone to a great extent of developing
mobile applications. Smartphones have developed to becoming bigger
parts of our lives and the management of Mayo has decided to
embrace the new channel of communication. The Patient App as they
have named it, allow patients to gain access to health care information
and do appointment scheduling. Another smartphone app they have
developed is the Pregnancy App which assist new mother of the king
of events to expect during their pregnancies and the lifestyle they
should embrace to ensure the baby is health and safe (Wright-
Peterson, 2016). To ease fears of patients especially in the area of
surgery, the facility had uploaded videos of various procedures. A
patient or customer may read about a surgery procedure and not
understand the phases involved and this helps the person to understand
better through practical experience. The marketing strategies they
have employed has enabled the health care facility meet its consumers
from wherever they are, providing services to customers at their exact
time of need. Through this strategy, the Mayo has been able to enjoy a
good share of the market and developed to become one of the most
developing and growing facilities in the world of health. This strategy
ensures that the marketing body is always in contact with their
customers, answering their questions and responding to their
comments.1
Hospital and health provides are very slow in the development and
implementation of the latest marketing trends, but in the year 2015,
research shows that many hospitals had engaged in online marketing
and social marketing strategies. We know that consumers in the
current world will start online to gather information about a certain
infection, symptoms and the mode of treatment availed or rather
provided by various health providers. Considering that Mayo has
established its digital strategy in 1997, they have gained a greater base
and have much wealth in their online platform which help customers
chose them over other many hospital and this ensure they enjoy high
profits and possess a good market share. For example, most patients
are no interested in acute kidney failure. But if their loved ones or
themselves are diagnosed for the infection, they needed specific
knowledge about the disorder, instead of other general kidney
infections. They want real- time information about the health concern
they are specifically interested in. All this information is readily
available in the website and other online platforms of Mayo which are
accessed with ease by their customers and patients and this shows that
Mayo management cares about the wellbeing of their distinguished
customers.1
Marketing strategies
For Mayo clinic to remain competitive in the market, it must develop
some strategies to shape the buying decision of the customers. One-
way Mayo can shape buying decision of the customers is through
orienting themselves around greater transparency of cost, quality
processes and the services they offer. The major task the Mayo clinic
will have to is to communicate to consumers the value of product and
service they offer in a way that consumer will be in position to
compare the cost and quality of services to create confidence to
consumers to continue buying the products. Most of the customers are
interested in online information about the price and quality of services
(Sheryl Coughlin, 2015) . Therefore, Mayo clinic should engage
customers more on social media about the quality and price of their
serves.1
Mayo clinic should adopt a retail mindset approach which offer more
convenient services and support to customer. Many healthcare
providers have entered in market and they are utilizing this approach
which has already started working for them. This poses a danger to
Mayo clinic if they don’t adopt this strategy.1
Another way Mayo clinic can shape the buying behavior of consumer
is through understanding consumers’ behavior and attitudes.
Understanding customer not only has the ability to allow Mayo clinic
to gain market share but also generate new conversations that can lead
to better outcome and fend of competition. This consumer-centered
approach helps to identify an understand consumer segments and
shape the attitude and behavior of customer. With understanding of
consumers changes in preferences and taste, Mayo clinic will be in
position to innovate its services to satisfy the customers need.
Targeting and personalizing interaction between the health care and

Furthermore, Mayo clinic may also be aware of new entrant of health
care provider who have different view on healthcare care delivery
which may shift the customers buying behavior. Most of them come

products. Therefore, Mayo clinic should be vigilant in order to modify

Mayo clinic should adopt a retail mindset approach which offer more
convenient services and support to customer. Many healthcare
providers have entered in market and they are utilizing this approach
which has already started working for them. This poses a danger to
Mayo clinic if they don’t adopt this strategy.1
Another way Mayo clinic can shape the buying behavior of consumer
is through understanding consumers’ behavior and attitudes.
Understanding customer not only has the ability to allow Mayo clinic
to gain market share but also generate new conversations that can lead
to better outcome and fend of competition. This consumer-centered
approach helps to identify an understand consumer segments and
shape the attitude and behavior of customer. With understanding of
consumers changes in preferences and taste, Mayo clinic will be in
position to innovate its services to satisfy the customers need.
Targeting and personalizing interaction between the health care and
consumer can be a great tool to identifying the root cause of the
factors that dissatisfy the consumers, which will result to winning
them.1
Furthermore, Mayo clinic may also be aware of new entrant of health
care provider who have different view on healthcare care delivery
which may shift the customers buying behavior. Most of them come
with a wave of innovation and new discoveries which may attract
customers to buy their products and abandon the Mayo clinic
products. Therefore, Mayo clinic should be vigilant in order to modify
its services delivery to counter the competition offered by new entrant
in the healthcare sector. Mayo clinic should take their innovation
beyond the healthcare services to partnering with other service
provider to create more awareness of their products. Other industries
such as online retail and telecommunication provide a good platform
for Mayo clinic to partners with them to create more potential
customers from every corner.1
In conclusion, it’s evident that Mayo clinic have become a world
leader in healthcare provision due to effective utilization of digital
healthcare marketing which has enabled them to create a community
of patients from all over the world and they can easily reach them in
any time. Healthcare is not in isolation and many other new healthcare
providers are joining the market every day. Therefore, it is important
to remain vigilant to ensure that you keep on evaluating the services
and products you deliver the customer. This will go far in helping you
to improve your services and identifying the change of taste and
preference in consumers in order to provide the products the
consumers need. Healthcare provider should also keep on evaluating
its marketing strategies to give room for changes and identifying new
channels to meeting the customers that are developing every day.
Unlike most health facilities in the globe, Mayo got into digital
marketing early enough and registered their brand to customers way
back in 1997, and have tremendously been developing their online
existence ever since (Sheryl Coughlin, 2015) . The organization has
realized the strength of social and online marketing and has invested a
lot in the development process of their digital marketing strategy.
Through this strategy, the health care body utilizes its wealth of online
content to develop early and strong bond between their customers and
themselves (Dahlen, 2010). Mayo has hit a high number of followers
in twitter which is approximately 1.5 million and the likes in their
Facebook page is around 1 million. This demonstrates their incredible
abilities in the globe of health care. Instead of developing a broadcast
in their online platforms like many other healthcare facilities, they
have modified theirs to be a conversation platform where they answer
health questions, give stories about patients and raise awareness for
better health. This enhances the trust and the loyalty the customers
hold for this health providers. In the summer of the year 2015, the
Mayo clinic launched a program known as #StrongArmSelfie. A great
number of people posted online of their pictures through
#StrongArmSelfie program, flexing and showing their biceps and
spread the awareness about screening for colorectal cancer. This did
help them much to build on their brand and develop a great
relationship between their customers and themselves.
The digital marketing strategy has gone to a great extent of developing
mobile applications. Smartphones have developed to becoming bigger
parts of our lives and the management of Mayo has decided to
embrace the new channel of communication. The Patient App as they
have named it, allow patients to gain access to health care information
and do appointment scheduling. Another smartphone app they have
developed is the Pregnancy App which assist new mother of the king
of events to expect during their pregnancies and the lifestyle they
should embrace to ensure the baby is health and safe (Wright-
Peterson, 2016). To ease fears of patients especially in the area of
surgery, the facility had uploaded videos of various procedures. A
patient or customer may read about a surgery procedure and not
understand the phases involved and this helps the person to understand
better through practical experience. The marketing strategies they
have employed has enabled the health care facility meet its consumers
from wherever they are, providing services to customers at their exact
time of need. Through this strategy, the Mayo has been able to enjoy a
good share of the market and developed to become one of the most
developing and growing facilities in the world of health. This strategy
ensures that the marketing body is always in contact with their
customers, answering their questions and responding to their
comments.1
Hospital and health provides are very slow in the development and
implementation of the latest marketing trends, but in the year 2015,
research shows that many hospitals had engaged in online marketing
and social marketing strategies. We know that consumers in the
current world will start online to gather information about a certain
infection, symptoms and the mode of treatment availed or rather
provided by various health providers. Considering that Mayo has
established its digital strategy in 1997, they have gained a greater base
and have much wealth in their online platform which help customers
chose them over other many hospital and this ensure they enjoy high
profits and possess a good market share. For example, most patients
are no interested in acute kidney failure. But if their loved ones or
themselves are diagnosed for the infection, they needed specific
knowledge about the disorder, instead of other general kidney
infections. They want real- time information about the health concern
they are specifically interested in. All this information is readily
available in the website and other online platforms of Mayo which are
accessed with ease by their customers and patients and this shows that
Mayo management cares about the wellbeing of their distinguished
customers.1

For Mayo clinic to remain competitive in the market, it must develop
some strategies to shape the buying decision of the customers. One-
way Mayo can shape buying decision of the customers is through
orienting themselves around greater transparency of cost, quality
processes and the services they offer. The major task the Mayo clinic
will have to is to communicate to consumers the value of product and
service they offer in a way that consumer will be in position to
compare the cost and quality of services to create confidence to
consumers to continue buying the products. Most of the customers are
interested in online information about the price and quality of services
(Sheryl Coughlin, 2015) . Therefore, Mayo clinic should engage
customers more on social media about the quality and price of their
serves.1

processes and the services they offer. The major task the Mayo clinic
will have to is to communicate to consumers the value of product and
service they offer in a way that consumer will be in position to
compare the cost and quality of services to create confidence to
consumers to continue buying the products. Most of the customers are
interested in online information about the price and quality of services
(Sheryl Coughlin, 2015) . Therefore, Mayo clinic should engage
customers more on social media about the quality and price of their
serves.1
Mayo clinic should adopt a retail mindset approach which offer more
convenient services and support to customer. Many healthcare
providers have entered in market and they are utilizing this approach
which has already started working for them. This poses a danger to
Mayo clinic if they don’t adopt this strategy.1
Another way Mayo clinic can shape the buying behavior of consumer
is through understanding consumers’ behavior and attitudes.
Understanding customer not only has the ability to allow Mayo clinic
to gain market share but also generate new conversations that can lead
to better outcome and fend of competition. This consumer-centered
approach helps to identify an understand consumer segments and
shape the attitude and behavior of customer. With understanding of
consumers changes in preferences and taste, Mayo clinic will be in
position to innovate its services to satisfy the customers need.
Targeting and personalizing interaction between the health care and
consumer can be a great tool to identifying the root cause of the
factors that dissatisfy the consumers, which will result to winning
them.1
Furthermore, Mayo clinic may also be aware of new entrant of health
care provider who have different view on healthcare care delivery
which may shift the customers buying behavior. Most of them come
with a wave of innovation and new discoveries which may attract
customers to buy their products and abandon the Mayo clinic
products. Therefore, Mayo clinic should be vigilant in order to modify
its services delivery to counter the competition offered by new entrant
in the healthcare sector. Mayo clinic should take their innovation
beyond the healthcare services to partnering with other service
provider to create more awareness of their products. Other industries
such as online retail and telecommunication provide a good platform
for Mayo clinic to partners with them to create more potential
customers from every corner.1
In conclusion, it’s evident that Mayo clinic have become a world
leader in healthcare provision due to effective utilization of digital
healthcare marketing which has enabled them to create a community
of patients from all over the world and they can easily reach them in
any time. Healthcare is not in isolation and many other new healthcare
providers are joining the market every day. Therefore, it is important
to remain vigilant to ensure that you keep on evaluating the services
and products you deliver the customer. This will go far in helping you
to improve your services and identifying the change of taste and
preference in consumers in order to provide the products the
consumers need. Healthcare provider should also keep on evaluating
its marketing strategies to give room for changes and identifying new
channels to meeting the customers that are developing every day.
Unlike most health facilities in the globe, Mayo got into digital
marketing early enough and registered their brand to customers way
back in 1997, and have tremendously been developing their online
existence ever since (Sheryl Coughlin, 2015) . The organization has
realized the strength of social and online marketing and has invested a
lot in the development process of their digital marketing strategy.
Through this strategy, the health care body utilizes its wealth of online
content to develop early and strong bond between their customers and
themselves (Dahlen, 2010). Mayo has hit a high number of followers
in twitter which is approximately 1.5 million and the likes in their
Facebook page is around 1 million. This demonstrates their incredible
abilities in the globe of health care. Instead of developing a broadcast
in their online platforms like many other healthcare facilities, they
have modified theirs to be a conversation platform where they answer
health questions, give stories about patients and raise awareness for
better health. This enhances the trust and the loyalty the customers
hold for this health providers. In the summer of the year 2015, the
Mayo clinic launched a program known as #StrongArmSelfie. A great
number of people posted online of their pictures through
#StrongArmSelfie program, flexing and showing their biceps and
spread the awareness about screening for colorectal cancer. This did
help them much to build on their brand and develop a great
relationship between their customers and themselves.
The digital marketing strategy has gone to a great extent of developing
mobile applications. Smartphones have developed to becoming bigger
parts of our lives and the management of Mayo has decided to
embrace the new channel of communication. The Patient App as they
have named it, allow patients to gain access to health care information
and do appointment scheduling. Another smartphone app they have
developed is the Pregnancy App which assist new mother of the king
of events to expect during their pregnancies and the lifestyle they
should embrace to ensure the baby is health and safe (Wright-
Peterson, 2016). To ease fears of patients especially in the area of
surgery, the facility had uploaded videos of various procedures. A
patient or customer may read about a surgery procedure and not
understand the phases involved and this helps the person to understand
better through practical experience. The marketing strategies they
have employed has enabled the health care facility meet its consumers
from wherever they are, providing services to customers at their exact
time of need. Through this strategy, the Mayo has been able to enjoy a
good share of the market and developed to become one of the most
developing and growing facilities in the world of health. This strategy
ensures that the marketing body is always in contact with their
customers, answering their questions and responding to their
comments.1
Hospital and health provides are very slow in the development and
implementation of the latest marketing trends, but in the year 2015,
research shows that many hospitals had engaged in online marketing
and social marketing strategies. We know that consumers in the
current world will start online to gather information about a certain
infection, symptoms and the mode of treatment availed or rather
provided by various health providers. Considering that Mayo has
established its digital strategy in 1997, they have gained a greater base
and have much wealth in their online platform which help customers
chose them over other many hospital and this ensure they enjoy high
profits and possess a good market share. For example, most patients
are no interested in acute kidney failure. But if their loved ones or
themselves are diagnosed for the infection, they needed specific
knowledge about the disorder, instead of other general kidney
infections. They want real- time information about the health concern
they are specifically interested in. All this information is readily
available in the website and other online platforms of Mayo which are
accessed with ease by their customers and patients and this shows that
Mayo management cares about the wellbeing of their distinguished
customers.1

For Mayo clinic to remain competitive in the market, it must develop
some strategies to shape the buying decision of the customers. One-

infections. They want real- time information about the health concern
they are specifically interested in. All this information is readily
available in the website and other online platforms of Mayo which are
accessed with ease by their customers and patients and this shows that
Mayo management cares about the wellbeing of their distinguished
customers.1
Marketing strategies
For Mayo clinic to remain competitive in the market, it must develop
some strategies to shape the buying decision of the customers. One-
way Mayo can shape buying decision of the customers is through
orienting themselves around greater transparency of cost, quality
processes and the services they offer. The major task the Mayo clinic
will have to is to communicate to consumers the value of product and
service they offer in a way that consumer will be in position to
compare the cost and quality of services to create confidence to
consumers to continue buying the products. Most of the customers are
interested in online information about the price and quality of services
(Sheryl Coughlin, 2015) . Therefore, Mayo clinic should engage
customers more on social media about the quality and price of their
serves.1
Mayo clinic should adopt a retail mindset approach which offer more
convenient services and support to customer. Many healthcare
providers have entered in market and they are utilizing this approach
which has already started working for them. This poses a danger to
Mayo clinic if they don’t adopt this strategy.1
Another way Mayo clinic can shape the buying behavior of consumer
is through understanding consumers’ behavior and attitudes.
Understanding customer not only has the ability to allow Mayo clinic
to gain market share but also generate new conversations that can lead
to better outcome and fend of competition. This consumer-centered
approach helps to identify an understand consumer segments and
shape the attitude and behavior of customer. With understanding of
consumers changes in preferences and taste, Mayo clinic will be in
position to innovate its services to satisfy the customers need.
Targeting and personalizing interaction between the health care and
consumer can be a great tool to identifying the root cause of the
factors that dissatisfy the consumers, which will result to winning
them.1
Furthermore, Mayo clinic may also be aware of new entrant of health
care provider who have different view on healthcare care delivery
which may shift the customers buying behavior. Most of them come
with a wave of innovation and new discoveries which may attract
customers to buy their products and abandon the Mayo clinic
products. Therefore, Mayo clinic should be vigilant in order to modify
its services delivery to counter the competition offered by new entrant
in the healthcare sector. Mayo clinic should take their innovation
beyond the healthcare services to partnering with other service
provider to create more awareness of their products. Other industries
such as online retail and telecommunication provide a good platform
for Mayo clinic to partners with them to create more potential
customers from every corner.1
In conclusion, it’s evident that Mayo clinic have become a world
leader in healthcare provision due to effective utilization of digital
healthcare marketing which has enabled them to create a community
of patients from all over the world and they can easily reach them in
any time. Healthcare is not in isolation and many other new healthcare
providers are joining the market every day. Therefore, it is important
to remain vigilant to ensure that you keep on evaluating the services
and products you deliver the customer. This will go far in helping you
to improve your services and identifying the change of taste and
preference in consumers in order to provide the products the
consumers need. Healthcare provider should also keep on evaluating
its marketing strategies to give room for changes and identifying new
channels to meeting the customers that are developing every day.
Unlike most health facilities in the globe, Mayo got into digital
marketing early enough and registered their brand to customers way
back in 1997, and have tremendously been developing their online
existence ever since (Sheryl Coughlin, 2015) . The organization has
realized the strength of social and online marketing and has invested a
lot in the development process of their digital marketing strategy.
Through this strategy, the health care body utilizes its wealth of online
content to develop early and strong bond between their customers and
themselves (Dahlen, 2010). Mayo has hit a high number of followers
in twitter which is approximately 1.5 million and the likes in their
Facebook page is around 1 million. This demonstrates their incredible
abilities in the globe of health care. Instead of developing a broadcast
in their online platforms like many other healthcare facilities, they
have modified theirs to be a conversation platform where they answer
health questions, give stories about patients and raise awareness for
better health. This enhances the trust and the loyalty the customers
hold for this health providers. In the summer of the year 2015, the
Mayo clinic launched a program known as #StrongArmSelfie. A great
number of people posted online of their pictures through
#StrongArmSelfie program, flexing and showing their biceps and
spread the awareness about screening for colorectal cancer. This did
help them much to build on their brand and develop a great
relationship between their customers and themselves.
The digital marketing strategy has gone to a great extent of developing
mobile applications. Smartphones have developed to becoming bigger
parts of our lives and the management of Mayo has decided to
embrace the new channel of communication. The Patient App as they
have named it, allow patients to gain access to health care information
and do appointment scheduling. Another smartphone app they have
developed is the Pregnancy App which assist new mother of the king
of events to expect during their pregnancies and the lifestyle they
should embrace to ensure the baby is health and safe (Wright-
Peterson, 2016). To ease fears of patients especially in the area of
surgery, the facility had uploaded videos of various procedures. A
patient or customer may read about a surgery procedure and not
understand the phases involved and this helps the person to understand
better through practical experience. The marketing strategies they
have employed has enabled the health care facility meet its consumers
from wherever they are, providing services to customers at their exact
time of need. Through this strategy, the Mayo has been able to enjoy a
good share of the market and developed to become one of the most
developing and growing facilities in the world of health. This strategy
ensures that the marketing body is always in contact with their
customers, answering their questions and responding to their
comments.1
Hospital and health provides are very slow in the development and
implementation of the latest marketing trends, but in the year 2015,
research shows that many hospitals had engaged in online marketing
and social marketing strategies. We know that consumers in the
current world will start online to gather information about a certain
infection, symptoms and the mode of treatment availed or rather
provided by various health providers. Considering that Mayo has
established its digital strategy in 1997, they have gained a greater base
and have much wealth in their online platform which help customers
chose them over other many hospital and this ensure they enjoy high
profits and possess a good market share. For example, most patients
are no interested in acute kidney failure. But if their loved ones or
themselves are diagnosed for the infection, they needed specific
knowledge about the disorder, instead of other general kidney
infections. They want real- time information about the health concern
they are specifically interested in. All this information is readily
available in the website and other online platforms of Mayo which are

current world will start online to gather information about a certain
infection, symptoms and the mode of treatment availed or rather
provided by various health providers. Considering that Mayo has
established its digital strategy in 1997, they have gained a greater base
and have much wealth in their online platform which help customers
chose them over other many hospital and this ensure they enjoy high
profits and possess a good market share. For example, most patients
are no interested in acute kidney failure. But if their loved ones or
themselves are diagnosed for the infection, they needed specific
knowledge about the disorder, instead of other general kidney
infections. They want real- time information about the health concern
they are specifically interested in. All this information is readily
available in the website and other online platforms of Mayo which are
accessed with ease by their customers and patients and this shows that
Mayo management cares about the wellbeing of their distinguished
customers.1
Marketing strategies
For Mayo clinic to remain competitive in the market, it must develop
some strategies to shape the buying decision of the customers. One-
way Mayo can shape buying decision of the customers is through
orienting themselves around greater transparency of cost, quality
processes and the services they offer. The major task the Mayo clinic
will have to is to communicate to consumers the value of product and
service they offer in a way that consumer will be in position to
compare the cost and quality of services to create confidence to
consumers to continue buying the products. Most of the customers are
interested in online information about the price and quality of services
(Sheryl Coughlin, 2015) . Therefore, Mayo clinic should engage
customers more on social media about the quality and price of their
serves.1
Mayo clinic should adopt a retail mindset approach which offer more
convenient services and support to customer. Many healthcare
providers have entered in market and they are utilizing this approach
which has already started working for them. This poses a danger to
Mayo clinic if they don’t adopt this strategy.1
Another way Mayo clinic can shape the buying behavior of consumer
is through understanding consumers’ behavior and attitudes.
Understanding customer not only has the ability to allow Mayo clinic
to gain market share but also generate new conversations that can lead
to better outcome and fend of competition. This consumer-centered
approach helps to identify an understand consumer segments and
shape the attitude and behavior of customer. With understanding of
consumers changes in preferences and taste, Mayo clinic will be in
position to innovate its services to satisfy the customers need.
Targeting and personalizing interaction between the health care and
consumer can be a great tool to identifying the root cause of the
factors that dissatisfy the consumers, which will result to winning
them.1
Furthermore, Mayo clinic may also be aware of new entrant of health
care provider who have different view on healthcare care delivery
which may shift the customers buying behavior. Most of them come
with a wave of innovation and new discoveries which may attract
customers to buy their products and abandon the Mayo clinic
products. Therefore, Mayo clinic should be vigilant in order to modify
its services delivery to counter the competition offered by new entrant
in the healthcare sector. Mayo clinic should take their innovation
beyond the healthcare services to partnering with other service
provider to create more awareness of their products. Other industries
such as online retail and telecommunication provide a good platform
for Mayo clinic to partners with them to create more potential
customers from every corner.1
In conclusion, it’s evident that Mayo clinic have become a world
leader in healthcare provision due to effective utilization of digital
healthcare marketing which has enabled them to create a community
of patients from all over the world and they can easily reach them in
any time. Healthcare is not in isolation and many other new healthcare
providers are joining the market every day. Therefore, it is important
to remain vigilant to ensure that you keep on evaluating the services
and products you deliver the customer. This will go far in helping you
to improve your services and identifying the change of taste and
preference in consumers in order to provide the products the
consumers need. Healthcare provider should also keep on evaluating
its marketing strategies to give room for changes and identifying new
channels to meeting the customers that are developing every day.
Unlike most health facilities in the globe, Mayo got into digital
marketing early enough and registered their brand to customers way
back in 1997, and have tremendously been developing their online
existence ever since (Sheryl Coughlin, 2015) . The organization has
realized the strength of social and online marketing and has invested a
lot in the development process of their digital marketing strategy.
Through this strategy, the health care body utilizes its wealth of online
content to develop early and strong bond between their customers and
themselves (Dahlen, 2010). Mayo has hit a high number of followers
in twitter which is approximately 1.5 million and the likes in their
Facebook page is around 1 million. This demonstrates their incredible
abilities in the globe of health care. Instead of developing a broadcast
in their online platforms like many other healthcare facilities, they
have modified theirs to be a conversation platform where they answer
health questions, give stories about patients and raise awareness for
better health. This enhances the trust and the loyalty the customers
hold for this health providers. In the summer of the year 2015, the
Mayo clinic launched a program known as #StrongArmSelfie. A great
number of people posted online of their pictures through
#StrongArmSelfie program, flexing and showing their biceps and
spread the awareness about screening for colorectal cancer. This did
help them much to build on their brand and develop a great
relationship between their customers and themselves.
The digital marketing strategy has gone to a great extent of developing
mobile applications. Smartphones have developed to becoming bigger
parts of our lives and the management of Mayo has decided to
embrace the new channel of communication. The Patient App as they
have named it, allow patients to gain access to health care information
and do appointment scheduling. Another smartphone app they have
developed is the Pregnancy App which assist new mother of the king
of events to expect during their pregnancies and the lifestyle they
should embrace to ensure the baby is health and safe (Wright-
Peterson, 2016). To ease fears of patients especially in the area of
surgery, the facility had uploaded videos of various procedures. A
patient or customer may read about a surgery procedure and not
understand the phases involved and this helps the person to understand
better through practical experience. The marketing strategies they
have employed has enabled the health care facility meet its consumers
from wherever they are, providing services to customers at their exact
time of need. Through this strategy, the Mayo has been able to enjoy a
good share of the market and developed to become one of the most
developing and growing facilities in the world of health. This strategy
ensures that the marketing body is always in contact with their
customers, answering their questions and responding to their
comments.1
Hospital and health provides are very slow in the development and
implementation of the latest marketing trends, but in the year 2015,

time of need. Through this strategy, the Mayo has been able to enjoy a
good share of the market and developed to become one of the most
developing and growing facilities in the world of health. This strategy
ensures that the marketing body is always in contact with their
customers, answering their questions and responding to their
comments.1
Hospital and health provides are very slow in the development and
implementation of the latest marketing trends, but in the year 2015,
research shows that many hospitals had engaged in online marketing
and social marketing strategies. We know that consumers in the
current world will start online to gather information about a certain
infection, symptoms and the mode of treatment availed or rather
provided by various health providers. Considering that Mayo has
established its digital strategy in 1997, they have gained a greater base
and have much wealth in their online platform which help customers
chose them over other many hospital and this ensure they enjoy high
profits and possess a good market share. For example, most patients
are no interested in acute kidney failure. But if their loved ones or
themselves are diagnosed for the infection, they needed specific
knowledge about the disorder, instead of other general kidney
infections. They want real- time information about the health concern
they are specifically interested in. All this information is readily
available in the website and other online platforms of Mayo which are
accessed with ease by their customers and patients and this shows that
Mayo management cares about the wellbeing of their distinguished
customers.1
Marketing strategies
For Mayo clinic to remain competitive in the market, it must develop
some strategies to shape the buying decision of the customers. One-
way Mayo can shape buying decision of the customers is through
orienting themselves around greater transparency of cost, quality
processes and the services they offer. The major task the Mayo clinic
will have to is to communicate to consumers the value of product and
service they offer in a way that consumer will be in position to
compare the cost and quality of services to create confidence to
consumers to continue buying the products. Most of the customers are
interested in online information about the price and quality of services
(Sheryl Coughlin, 2015) . Therefore, Mayo clinic should engage
customers more on social media about the quality and price of their
serves.1
Mayo clinic should adopt a retail mindset approach which offer more
convenient services and support to customer. Many healthcare
providers have entered in market and they are utilizing this approach
which has already started working for them. This poses a danger to
Mayo clinic if they don’t adopt this strategy.1
Another way Mayo clinic can shape the buying behavior of consumer
is through understanding consumers’ behavior and attitudes.
Understanding customer not only has the ability to allow Mayo clinic
to gain market share but also generate new conversations that can lead
to better outcome and fend of competition. This consumer-centered
approach helps to identify an understand consumer segments and
shape the attitude and behavior of customer. With understanding of
consumers changes in preferences and taste, Mayo clinic will be in
position to innovate its services to satisfy the customers need.
Targeting and personalizing interaction between the health care and
consumer can be a great tool to identifying the root cause of the
factors that dissatisfy the consumers, which will result to winning
them.1
Furthermore, Mayo clinic may also be aware of new entrant of health
care provider who have different view on healthcare care delivery
which may shift the customers buying behavior. Most of them come
with a wave of innovation and new discoveries which may attract
customers to buy their products and abandon the Mayo clinic
products. Therefore, Mayo clinic should be vigilant in order to modify
its services delivery to counter the competition offered by new entrant
in the healthcare sector. Mayo clinic should take their innovation
beyond the healthcare services to partnering with other service
provider to create more awareness of their products. Other industries
such as online retail and telecommunication provide a good platform
for Mayo clinic to partners with them to create more potential
customers from every corner.1
In conclusion, it’s evident that Mayo clinic have become a world
leader in healthcare provision due to effective utilization of digital
healthcare marketing which has enabled them to create a community
of patients from all over the world and they can easily reach them in
any time. Healthcare is not in isolation and many other new healthcare
providers are joining the market every day. Therefore, it is important
to remain vigilant to ensure that you keep on evaluating the services
and products you deliver the customer. This will go far in helping you
to improve your services and identifying the change of taste and
preference in consumers in order to provide the products the
consumers need. Healthcare provider should also keep on evaluating
its marketing strategies to give room for changes and identifying new
channels to meeting the customers that are developing every day.
Unlike most health facilities in the globe, Mayo got into digital
marketing early enough and registered their brand to customers way
back in 1997, and have tremendously been developing their online
existence ever since (Sheryl Coughlin, 2015) . The organization has
realized the strength of social and online marketing and has invested a
lot in the development process of their digital marketing strategy.
Through this strategy, the health care body utilizes its wealth of online
content to develop early and strong bond between their customers and
themselves (Dahlen, 2010). Mayo has hit a high number of followers
in twitter which is approximately 1.5 million and the likes in their
Facebook page is around 1 million. This demonstrates their incredible
abilities in the globe of health care. Instead of developing a broadcast
in their online platforms like many other healthcare facilities, they
have modified theirs to be a conversation platform where they answer
health questions, give stories about patients and raise awareness for
better health. This enhances the trust and the loyalty the customers
hold for this health providers. In the summer of the year 2015, the
Mayo clinic launched a program known as #StrongArmSelfie. A great
number of people posted online of their pictures through
#StrongArmSelfie program, flexing and showing their biceps and
spread the awareness about screening for colorectal cancer. This did
help them much to build on their brand and develop a great
relationship between their customers and themselves.
The digital marketing strategy has gone to a great extent of developing
mobile applications. Smartphones have developed to becoming bigger
parts of our lives and the management of Mayo has decided to
embrace the new channel of communication. The Patient App as they
have named it, allow patients to gain access to health care information
and do appointment scheduling. Another smartphone app they have
developed is the Pregnancy App which assist new mother of the king
of events to expect during their pregnancies and the lifestyle they
should embrace to ensure the baby is health and safe (Wright-
Peterson, 2016). To ease fears of patients especially in the area of
surgery, the facility had uploaded videos of various procedures. A
patient or customer may read about a surgery procedure and not
understand the phases involved and this helps the person to understand
better through practical experience. The marketing strategies they
have employed has enabled the health care facility meet its consumers
from wherever they are, providing services to customers at their exact
time of need. Through this strategy, the Mayo has been able to enjoy a
good share of the market and developed to become one of the most
developing and growing facilities in the world of health. This strategy
