NOTES FROM THE EDITOR

Is it really worth it?

As a practice owner and a provider, your time is a limited resource.

Juggling priorities is difficult enough without adding another item to you "to-do" list. So investing your time in something as vague as a brand may seem like a fool's errand.

In this video, I argue that preserving your resources is precisely the main reason for building your therapy brand. It will save your from the constant hustle of trying out new marketing tactics and pouring money into promising new marketing channels that yield very little results.

If you want to develop a robust strategy for attracting clients to your practice, building a brand for your practice is crucial.

But besides the benefit of having a strategy, a defined brand will help you stand out from other therapists. Otherwise, you will be left to compete based on your fees and immediate availability.

To show you how it's done, I just re-wrote one of my most read articles 4 Steps That Will Make Your Therapy Brand Stand Out.

And now to the news!



NOTEWORTHY

Does Text Therapy Work?

Despite the criticism towards Talkspace and BetterHelp, therapy via text is showing positive outcomes.

This Time Magazine article, highlights recent research and data regarding the effectiveness of text therapy.

BUSINESS AND PRIVATE PRACTICE

Ethics and AI in Healthtech Marketing

According to the CMO of ObvioHealth, one of the key ethical challenges of AI implementation in marketing is bias in training AI models.

In healthcare, this could lead to serious consequences, sometimes meaning the difference between life and death.

INDUSTRY NEWS

Mental Health Job Growth

Employment growth in the Mental Health field is expected to be 3 times higher than other jobs in the U.S. According to the U.S. Bureau of Labor and Statistics:

"Growth for these roles is set to increase by 19%, going from about 450,000 workers in 2023 to 534,000 by 2033, making it among the top 20 fastest-growing U.S. occupations."

​


FINAL THOUGHTS

There are 3 main components in an effective marketing strategy:

  • A high quality service
  • A real need for your service
  • And your brand differentiation

Since you, Reader, are on top of the two first elements, your road to building a successful strategy is already much shorter than for other businesses.

All that's left to do is to figure out how to build a strong brand for your practice.

See you next week!
