3 Ways to Increase Medical Device Sales

Written by Nicole Piazza, Sales Coordinator | Aug 10, 2015 1:52:02 PM

In our increasingly global economy, medical devices have the opportunity to reach many more people than ever before. Not only does this mean better options for care for potential patients, it also means greater revenue streams for developers and producers of medical devices.

However, the confluence of competition and buyer influence, coupled with an increase in regulatory pressure, has meant that people are demanding quality healthcare options at much lower costs. So how can you increase the sales of your medical device? Here are three tips on how to do it:

1. Define your target audience’s pain points. 

First and foremost, you and your team must explicitly outline what pains, symptoms, or conditions your medical device can treat. Once you have identified those pains, symptoms, and conditions, you can look at the demographics for the people who most regularly suffer from them, and the medical specialists who would be most likely to treat these patients. There you have your target audience. Once you have defined your target audience, you need to construct language that will let them know how your product can help them. And once you’ve done that, you need to find a way to let them know about it.

2. Create a strategy that will convey your message to your target audience. 

You will need a company blog or another platform through which to share online content that will naturally attract your potential customers. But more than that, you need to become a valuable source of trusted information in the medical device industry. Social networking is one of the most effective ways of doing this, and companies that are working those networks always see a significantly higher return than those who rely solely on more traditional models of marketing. This is because people don’t want to hear a pitch, they want to know how your product can help improve their quality of life.

3. Expand your efforts to include non-English speaking populations. 

We do live in a global economy, with the barriers between our cultures breaking down more and more each year. So why limit yourself to an English-speaking population? One of the best things you can do to grow your business is to hire a certified translation agency that specializes in medical device translation, so that you can reach as many potential clients as possible.
