Workflow process
Sometimes the marketing strategy process can be obscure, confusing and even intimidating. In many cases, a complete stranger meets with you for a couple of hours, disappears for some predetermined time and then returns to tell you exactly what you should do to recreate your practice and implement your new marketing plan. You might be a little skeptical of this so-called expert; after all, he/she only spent a couple of hours with you. Does he/she really know your practice? Does he/she get your target audience? Is he/she creating a custom marketing plan that's 100% right for you?
At BAC Medical Marketing, we understand that a great marketing strategy requires a team approach. We don't just work for our clients - we work with our clients, communicating with them regularly and actively encouraging them to be involved in all steps of the marketing process. And what are these steps? Although we're proud to say that no BAC Medical Marketing project is typical, we'll make an exception - just this once.
