Media Mix in Health care Marketing

There’s a famous saying in the ad line, “I know half my ad budget is wasted, but I don’t know which half.” Even though it’s easier to measure the effects of advertising, we still pick up spending on inefficient media channels everywhere. Your media mix (paid, free, earned & owned media) must be apt to your business goals.

Few examples listed below to help you get started, based on some common business needs:

Advertising(Ex: Google Adwords) that directs people to a specific call-to-action.
