Healthcare IT Agency, Amendola Communications, Releases Top 7 Blog Posts for Spring Cleaning your PR & Marketing

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz., May 9, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- With more than half of the year still on the horizon, healthcare IT marketers and communicators are evaluating next steps to promote their companies. To jumpstart creative thinking, check out the following series of blog posts from Amendola Communications, a nationally recognized, award-winning healthcare and healthcare IT public relations and marketing agency.

"The Four P's to Think Like a Marketer." As marketers prepare their budgets, a few perennial questions emerge. Should more of the budget be allocated to content marketing or advertising? On trade shows or public relations? There is no shortage of options vying for the marketer's dollar, but savvy marketers get that a balanced approach is better than risking most of their budget on a single strategy. With that, a terrific process exists to get the most results out of existing resources.

"Don't Judge a Book by its Sales: Tips for Making Your Book a Relationship Magnet."  It's a marketing vehicle tapped by relatively few companies, but a book can attract attention, credibility and leads galore. For executives seeking to establish their thought leadership or steer their way to media attention, penning an authoritative book could be the most direct path they take.

"Content Marketing: Remember to Ask "And Then?" A blog post or video that's gone viral, a webinar that attracted lots of sign-ups…too often these are considered ideal end goals, when what they really should be are the starting points. Wise marketers plan ahead to make sure there's always a next step in place to guide prospects to the sale.

"Tips for Social Media Success." A social media presence is almost as important as a brick-and-mortar address, at least from a public relations and marketing standpoint. Yet for many companies, social media remains an enigma, especially with so many social media platforms to learn and navigate. And make no mistake, each does have its own set of best practices. The good news is there are universal guidelines to quickly become a competent practitioner of social media marketing and PR.

"HIMSS is Over, Now What?" Sure, HIMSS is several months in the rear view mirror. But there is still time left to leverage the investment made in the show, and act on the contacts and opportunities that were made to secure analyst coverage, bylines and more.

"The Press Release: Marketing's Swiss Army Knife." Just like the Swiss Army knife performs a multitude of functions, so too does the press release. In fact, this staple of public relations turns out to have a surprisingly versatile set of benefits for marketers, from SEO to lead gen. This is in addition to the good public relations and media attention that a strong press release can still generate. 

"How to Make the News, Even When You're Not the Headline." Companies often hire PR agencies with the intent of getting front page coverage on USA Today or the Wall Street Journal or to star in an in-depth feature in a widely read trade publication. However, such a score rarely happens at the beginning of one's PR effort; even Steve Jobs had to wait years to become a media darling. However, there are plenty of other ways to garner attention from the press that are of great value to any company.
