Such references are compensated by voluntary donations, gifts and other promotional gifts as a goodwill gesture. MARKETING & BRAND BUILDING OF HOSPITAL GUIRELLA MARKETING Guirella marketing is a type of marketing without any rules, regulations, ethics or price conditions. It is a situational marketing wherein any body enters any segments, un-ethical offers, exorbitant prices, lowest prices, un-conditional guarantee, without guarantee.

Propaganda may be negative and positive propaganda is passed on through various net works. MARKETING & BRAND BUILDING OF HOSPITAL IMPACT ON VARIOUS MARKETING TECHNIQUES Multiple marketing techniques have negative, positive & mixed responses, results, proved & failed techniques. Our concern is not just marketing. Ours is a serious concern how to market a service ? What is the main difference between marketing a product & service. Prime concern is how to market a hospital ?

MARKETING & BRAND BUILDING OF HOSPITAL QUERRIES ON MARKETING A HOSPITAL The question again has several variants : How can an intangible service gets marketed ? Is it ethical to market a hospital which is a service industry ? What are the ethical means of hospital marketing ? Health industry and medical industry have certain serious ethics to be strictly followed - Medical ethics ensuring that the patient is not misused in terms of service or money guaranteeing quality treatment at an affordable cost. MARKETING & BRAND BUILDING OF HOSPITAL ETHICAL HOSPITAL MARKETING A Hospital cannot be marketed. A Hospital can only be promoted. The brand value of the hospital can be built by brand building activities. The infrastructure can be highlighted. The facilities can be exhibited. The Doctors can be of high value. The cost effective treatment can be an added factor. (This itself is brand building and promotion) MARKETING & BRAND BUILDING OF HOSPITAL ADVERTORIALS Advertorial is a combination of an advertisement & an editorial – The advertorial is partially paid to the media on special rate.

MARKETING & BRAND BUILDING OF HOSPITAL INSTALLATION OF NEW MACHINERIES Introducing a new highly sophisticated 64 slice scanning machine through an advertisement. Hospital as a marketing campaign highlights its special features (may be familiar to the medical professionals & hospitals, but not to the patient).

MARKETING & BRAND BUILDING OF HOSPITAL VIP VISIT TO THE HOSPITAL Marketing becomes effective on publicizing the VIP’s/ celebrities visiting the hospital may be for a casual visit, a health check up, a specific treatment, an inauguration, a flag off ceremony. The hidden agenda behind this is vested to utilize the brand image for the marketing of the hospital, hence the VIP’s in maximum cases are treated even free of cost.
