Everyone wants to be healthy, feel more energetic and live longer. Very few will disagree when asked if these things are important! Statistics show that 4 out of 5 internet users have searched the web for health care information and terms involving health care continue to be high among web searches. It’s little wonder that the health and wellness industry continues to be one of the largest and fastest growing industries!
What happens when an industry experiences such growth and profit? It also experiences a growth in competition. A growing number of businesses are popping up online offering supplements, programs and information targeted towards the market of consumers who are reaching out via search engines and social networking sites for more information. Are you wondering how you’re going to compete?
A well laid out social media strategy will mean the difference in success and failure for many entrepreneurs this year. Over 80% of Americans use a social network. 66% of web users are looking for information about a disease or medical problem. Consumers are online daily researching, gathering information and connecting with important people in their lives. Are you ready to get in front of them?
