Major Changes Shaking Up the Healthcare Industry

Posted on February 4, 2022 Written by

A large part of how we support our distributor partners involves taking into account predicted trends for the upcoming year within a variety of vertical markets. As we look forward to a new year, it is apparent the competition will be fierce and those with solid sales strategies will excel. We’re taking a close look at what big changes this new year brings for healthcare organizations and what that means for our distributors.

Healthcare marketing budgets are up

Out of the main types of healthcare companies in the U.S., including categories like pharmaceutical manufacturers and medical device firms, biotech companies had the highest marketing budgets. Nevertheless, all have increased their marketing spend in the last couple of years. On average, the marketing budgets of healthcare companies in the country grew by almost two million dollars. Great news for our industry is the added fact that in general, the healthcare sector tends to focus more on advertising by way of traditional media rather than digital, at least on a local level. This means more print sales for you.

Healthcare continues to consolidate and run as a business

Many industries have been seriously affected in the last couple of years, while vertical markets like healthcare continue to forge ahead impacted in a very different way. Increased demand, as well as mergers and expansions, have brought marketing opportunities for rebranding, open house events, and other communications and promotions. Loyalty programs, direct mail, and promotional products will be increasingly needed. Print marketing has been deemed the most effective marketing strategy for products and services in the healthcare sector. This is due in large part to how hard it is to convince consumers to trust a brand’s product or service just by reading an online ad. However, studies show that most consumers trust printed material far above digital, especially in the healthcare market. The power of print marketing cannot be overemphasized in this industry.

People are seeking integrated healthcare systems

The alternative healthcare sector provides a variety of health services such as acupuncture, naturopathy and homeopathy, meditation, yoga, massage, and much more. The practitioners in this industry had typically operated private or group practices in their own offices, however, due to the pandemic, industry revenue fell significantly when practitioners were unable to offer in-person services. As restrictions lessen, industry revenue has surged as patients quell their pent-up demand for alternative services. The industry has returned to robust growth and at the same time, more insurance companies and employers have recognized the benefit of covering alternative healthcare.

The forecast

As this expansion continues, more practices are landing in the facilities of others, such as hospitals and medical centers because today’s healthcare consumers are seeking out integrated systems and they want convenience. They want easier access to the services they are looking for, when and where they need them. Demand for alternative healthcare is expected to continue over the next five years as a result of increasingly favorable attitudes toward industry services and favorable demographic trends. In particular, the aging population, facing the mounting incidence of disability that accompanies old age, is expected to bolster demand for alternative services. More importantly, the growing acceptance and expanding coverage of these services will drive industry growth. As consumers look more to integrated healthcare systems — where they also have access to retail, urgent care, primary care, and hospitals — traditional hospital systems and large group practices will feel the pressure to expand their services.

What does this expansion mean for our distributors?

Marketing and advertising is expected to take up a significant chunk of budgets as enterprises must promote their businesses rather than just rely on word of mouth. Having a clear understanding of the most important keys for success for this industry – like creating a stellar reputation, developing a symbiotic relationship with other healthcare providers, educating the wider community and generating a loyal customer base – will help you speak directly to their needs. It is also a great exercise in observing the opportunities for print within each key and aligning products and services to meet your client’s objectives.

The Research Dollop

To further expand your familiarity and expertise within the healthcare industry, we’ve created a research dollop for your use. By exploring the predominant needs of the industry and considering the practical sales tactics offered, this educational asset will assist you in either breaking into or further penetrating this worthwhile industry. Taking into account the industry’s major priorities, the most-ordered print products, and reviewing tips on what to say, the healthcare dollop gives you valuable insights and tangible conversation starters. It aligns healthcare marketing objectives with products and services for you to sell to support expanding alternative healthcare, as well as branding opportunities in other growth areas such as non-emergency procedures, and urgent care centers. Additionally, you’ll find questions to ask and the top action steps you can take right away to increase engagement and boost your sales.

The takeaway

Print marketing has had a long-standing alliance with healthcare and it proves to be the best way to stand out in a crowded media landscape. Physical ads and printed pieces have more impact and emotional weight than digital marketing and end up being decisive factors for consumers contemplating healthcare providers. With print marketing, prospective customers can get more details and develop an emotional and subconscious affiliation with the brand. Utilizing various print marketing tactics with all they have to offer is a perfect way for your customers in the healthcare sector to generate new leads and increase brand awareness.

Program Selling to the Financial Services Industry

Posted on January 14, 2022 Written by

From direct mail outreach to in-branch brochures, and from outdoor and indoor signage to handouts at trade shows and events, banks and credit unions continue to need copious amounts of printed materials. Print communications remain powerful marketing tools for the financial services industry, yet streamlining ordering and maintaining brand cohesiveness between branches prove to be hurdles many have yet to master.

All the feels

Because print advertising connects more on an emotional level with readers than digital, it continues to be the go-to medium of financial services companies. It offers readers a chance to linger over product and service messaging in a way that other channels don’t. Print advertising provides prospects a tangible way to engage with the brand message.

  • Print lasts longer (digital ads disappear in seconds)
  • Print is viewed as more trustworthy
  • Print is cost-effective

However, there is without question a significant focus on online banking, and digital access to banks has increased greatly. Accordingly, mixed marketing such as a postcard with a QR code or Bitly link to online banking will help provide direct access to products and services.

Time to think like a financial services company
What do you suppose keeps their marketing decision-makers up at night? For larger institutions, they may be considering the demand for consistency across multiple branches, indicating the need for a program solution that ensures uniformity in messaging, seamless installation and access to additional products. For medium and small institutions, they may be contemplating local business investments, signifying the need for a collaborator like you to partner with them. They may also be looking to the local chamber of commerce to bring in more opportunities and to demonstrate the value of such investments to the community. For maximum trajectory, think mailing campaigns, vibrant signage, and community canvassing, as well as developing investment guides and infographics depicting top areas of growth.

Here are more ways to get into the minds of your financial services clients:

Trust is numero uno.
Every one of your financial services company clients will tell you that ensuring their customers or members feel trust in their financial institution is priority number one. This includes trusting that both their personal AND financial well-being are being looked after. Refining branch-to-branch and branch-to-member information flows while quickly distributing new collateral based on changing interest rates and economic conditions is paramount to a financial services company’s success. They also lock in that trust by maintaining a positive perception and core position in the community while upholding compliance and regulatory mandates across print.

Renewal and revitalization matter.
More than ever communities are thinking local (shopping, supporting, frequenting) and banks often support “Shop Small” sponsorships or local events to further promote their role in the community. Events require communication efforts, signage, giveaways, apparel and residual marketing products. Special financing, payment forgiveness and small business loans are a few examples of advertising offers that banks and credit unions will consider as an important part of recovery efforts.

Branch distribution is a big deal.
When they roll out a program, financial services companies want their vendors to help coordinate the distribution of their products and may require kitting and project management. Both standardization and compliance are very important across branches, but often your bank and credit union clients don’t have the internal staffing to ensure proper installation and execution. This works to your advantage … with our help, you can really deliver the goods here.

Going online is inevitable.
While digital marketing tactics aren’t as touchy-feely as print and can quite honestly leave bank customers and credit union members cold, online banking is certainly the preferred choice for most, and we don’t see this changing. At the same time, having a local presence is important to a financial services company’s growth. Therefore, maintaining a consistent brand image across all mediums (print, online, signage, promo, apparel, business identity, folders, etc.) is crucial for connecting the digital world to their local community.

A holistic approach

This is where multi-product selling (or program selling) makes its grand entrance. Whether starting small with individual product sales and then building on the offering over time, or introducing a whole suite of cohesively branded products to their financial industry customers, our distributors can really bank on our technology platform designed for program selling. Let’s walk through some case studies that really illustrate the benefit of our solutions:

  1. A large financial institution wanted to deepen relationships between their lending officers and customers by personalizing essential documents. With custom printed Post-it® Note business cards and notecards, the company achieved its marketing objectives without a costly overhaul of existing print collateral. The custom adhesive notes included the lending officer’s contact information and photo, and could be applied to all communications with the customer. As a result, lenders used fewer of their higher-cost business cards, reducing overall print spend. Personalizing generic financial documents with custom branded adhesive cards allowed lending teams to engage with their clients and community.
  2. A distributor just getting started in selling print placed their initial orders manually because they were not very confident with the medium, let alone Navitor.com. Eventually they progressed to placing a couple of orders on Navitor.com and quickly realized just how easy it was to simplify and streamline the ordering process – especially around improving timeliness. As they kept working with their client, they discovered five more locations that were going to need similar branded products, and decided that time/order management could potentially become a bottleneck. We set up a white label ordering platform that their client can order from directly. This program started with a few orders for five-dollar name badges and will likely mature to a five-digit sales growth within a year. The program includes business cards, badges, envelopes, letterhead, presentation folders, decals, labels and more.
  3. Brand control on a large assortment of products was a challenge for one company that faced a surge in requests from their clients looking for ways to mitigate the impact of the pandemic. The need for communication and marketing materials increased exponentially. With the rapid increase, the company realized they needed to lock down brand standards. Working with Navitor on product fulfillment and utilizing our online ordering platform customized to meet the specifics of their organization saved the day. Locations can log on and order their pre-branded business stationery, their new customer kits and the rest of their marketing materials.
  4. Technology integration and brand control were sticking points for one distributor’s large client with 2,000 locations. They were having difficulty maintaining brand standards and controlling expenses since each location was ordering their print ad hoc from various vendors. After the client established their own brand portal to centralize sourcing, it was vital to find a print provider that could integrate quickly with their existing e-store ordering platform. By partnering with Navitor, the distributor was able to spin-up an ordering platform that incorporates brand compliance and efficient ordering while controlling the quality and brand conformity of the end product. In addition, the client has sourced several additional print items Navitor produces, resulting in BIG business for our distributor.

Weather the Elements with Outdoor Labels

Posted on March 18, 2020 Written by

The sun is shining, the temps are starting to rise and it’s time to head outside! Ok, that’s not exactly the case here in Minnesota but a dreary snow-filled day is no match for outdoor labels.

Luckily, Label Works has top quality options to meet all your outdoor label needs. We offer 1 to Process color printing on 8 standard outdoor stocks, including a removable stock option – perfect for labels that are not intended to take permanent residence on a surface. Plus, we also offer our new, reflective stock. This stock bounces the light back to the source, creating high-visibility in low-light, dark or poor weather conditions.

A free, gloss lamination is provided to our outdoor labels to protect them against moisture, scratching and outside elements while adding an extra sheen to enhance your label design. Looking for the added protection, but not a fan of high-gloss? We have just the thing! Our matte lamination provides the same great barrier against the elements…plus, it’s the perfect choice for labels that need to be written on.

Yet another option for protecting outdoor labels from fading and cracking is our sunscreen lamination. It protects labels by combating UV rays and may extend the fade resistance of some inks. It might not smell of coconut, but it sure works wonders to ward off those pesky and abusive sunrays!

But don’t let the name deceive you…these labels are great for indoor items that just need a little extra protection. Think freezer labels, shampoo labels and any other label that may need a shield from the elements.

The Power of Giving Back

Posted on November 1, 2019 Written by

Giving back, a simple term that can pack a big punch! Each year Label Works makes a commitment to give back by volunteering time, donating funds and providing necessary resources – and this year was no exception. We strive to support and connect with our local community and our employees never disappoint.

This year, employees engaged in a wide variety of activities that were not only fun, but also benefitted many great causes. In March, employees tested their basketball skills and competed against each other to raise funds for LEEP – an organization aimed to enhance the quality of life for people with developmental and intellectual disabilities through inclusive education, recreation and healthy living opportunities.

We also organized our annual weeklong rally benefitting the Greater Mankato Area United Way. Throughout the week, employees were served up a delicious breakfast and baked potato bar, competed in a chili cook-off and indulged their sweet tooth in a bake sale. Company-wide bingo and Wheel of Fortune games were played all week for tons of great prizes. Rounding out the week was a silent auction in which employees of each department worked together to gather items for their themed baskets – with the closing bids on Friday boasting a combined $600 contribution.

Upcoming annual fundraisers include events and activities to benefit the local ECHO Food Shelf, Toys for Tots and Salvation Army’s Coats for Kids. Giving back is so important to Label Works and the success of our community; our employee’s generous nature and kind hearts continue to inspire us year after year.

As we enter in to the holiday season and reflect on all that we have to be thankful for, consider giving back to local groups in your community that help those in need. Not sure where to start? Just ask! Contact an organization in your area with your desire to get involved.

The First Word in Safety: Label Works’ New Reflective Stock

Posted on September 18, 2019 Written by

Labels are an efficient way to call attention to important information in a host of different settings. But what about poorly lit areas? It’s hard to read information that cannot be seen. Do those areas just become no-label zones? Certainly not!

Some labels are necessary even in less than optimal conditions. Low light settings, dark environments, and poor weather conditions can pose a challenge. But at Label Works, we say, “Challenge accepted.” We’d like to introduce you to our Retro-reflective stock! This stock works wonders in dark and poorly lit spaces. Retro-reflective stock renders high visibility even in low light, and also remains visible through poor weather conditions. We like to think that labels have a place anywhere and everywhere – you just need the right tools to get the job done!

Retro-reflective stock is slightly different than true reflective stock. Ready for a bit of a physics lesson? Here we go! Reflective stock reflects light in the same manner a mirror does. Light hits the mirror (or reflective stock) and bounces away at the same angle of entry but in the opposite direction. Imagine bouncing a ball away from you on the floor. The ball will hit the floor but bounce away instead of coming back toward you. The same is true of light hitting a reflective stock. Retro-reflective stock, on the other hand, works with innovative technology to optimize the use of what little light is available. The surface of the retro-reflective stock is covered in very small glass spheres. The rounded shape of each glass sphere creates the retro-reflectivity. Light hitting the surface of the stock is reflected directly back toward the source of the light. Imagine shining a flashlight on an item in a dark room labeled with retro-reflective stock. The light won’t reflect and bounce away. It will be reflected directly back at you, resulting in high visibility of the label. Voila! Label visibility even in the darkest of places!

Now that we’ve touched on the science of the retro-reflective stock, let’s shine some light on the practical applications for this stock!

  • Safety decals
  • Warning and security stickers
  • Hard hat stickers
  • Parking permits
  • Emergency service vehicles, equipment, and tools for Police, Fire Department, and EMTs and Paramedics
  • Outdoor enthusiast organizations and associations, including motorcycling, bicycling, snowmobiling, boating, sailing, skiing, hunting, and fishing
  • Warehouse rack labels where messages need to be easily seen when hit with a beam of light
  • Security and Warning applications
  • HVAC, Well and Pump
  • Shelving labels, pallet labels, and asset labels

Retro-reflective stock is a hard-working label which comes with permanent adhesive and lamination for extra protection from the elements. Because of the nature of many reflective labels, this stock has to be tough, and ready to take on less than perfect weather conditions. A few things to note about this stock:

  • Retro-reflective stock appears slightly grey in color rather than a true white due to the glass bead technology used to produce the reflectivity.
  • It is thermal-transfer compatible (recommended to test ribbons).
  • Retro-reflective stock bounces the light back to the source, therefore making it a great option for scanning. This stock is especially productive for long-range scanning.

Curious to learn more about our new Retro-reflective stock and the host of possible applications for this innovative technology? Call Label Works at 800.522.3558 to speak with one of our Customer Support team members and we’d be happy to send you more information!

Perfect Print for Boutiques

Posted on September 5, 2019 Written by

Whether your customer creates the products for their own store or gathers the very best to offer consumers, boutiques are a market where print is one more chance to make things extraordinary. Print can help add branding and style to every angle of a boutique’s business, from personalizing the building to adding an extra special touch to every product. Here are our picks of print pieces perfect for boutiques.

From the Moment They Walk Through the Door
One of the first ways that consumers connect with your customer’s brand is in their storefront, from their window display to their signage. And that signage is an essential way to personalize storefronts of all sorts. For an unexpected touch, your customer should consider clear window clings or vinyl wall art to reinforce architectural signage; these decals can be used to show off brand imagery and colors, display store hours, and add a bit of extra style.

Badges and Signage Bring Branding Indoors
The consumer is in the door—now what? Signage can also be used to brand a store’s interior to keep that branding going. Wall art can add style to the décor, signage can help guide guests through the store or provide necessary instructions, and decals can be used to highlight new products or special buys in glass product cases.

And your customer should be sure to match their badges to that signage. Even when employees don’t wear uniforms, branded badges create a polished look and make them easy to find when a shopper needs assistance.

Business Cards Add Polish and Professionalism
Business cards are a classic piece that many businesses use to connect with customers and investors, and boutiques are no exception. For boutiques, however, your customer might want to add an extra special touch to their business cards to match their extraordinary product offering. Consider adding color core stock for an unexpected pop of color, glitter color core for sparkle, or pearlized stock for a subtle shimmer.

Labels and Tags for Products
Boutiques specialize in well-chosen products, and the right product labels and tags can help add a special touch to this hand-selected flair. Your customer should consider using labels to add a branded touch to boxes, brown paper bags, and other preexisting packaging.

Branding with Every Buy
Does your customer want to keep the branded appeal going when a purchase has been made? They should consider adding personalized plastic bags to their business. Not only do these bags give them the chance to create one more touch point for their brand, they add a polished advertisement to each additional person they pass by.

And keep an eye out for new products that your customers who own boutiques will love!

Do you do business with boutiques? What print pieces are their favorites? We’d love to see your feedback in the comments below.

Labels for Nonprofits

Posted on August 8, 2019 Written by

In a world that’s constantly on the go, why settle for advertising that stays put? Get your message out and about! Cost effective and multi-functional, labels can play a supporting role in engaging donors and increasing the awareness of your cause or organization.

A non-profit organization was looking to create a sticker that would help show support at an upcoming marathon fundraiser. The labels needed to stick firmly to runners’ outfits from the starting line to the finish line and arrive quickly to have in time for the race.

The non-profit was pleased to find that they could create a colorful, custom-shaped label using freeform™ laser cutting and digital printing. Not only was the process budget-friendly and useful in creating a unique label shape and image, it also allowed the label to arrive more quickly. This meant that they had a sticker that was instantly recognizable on every runner, stayed on their clothes throughout the race and had it in time for the race.

The stickers also featured printed label liners to talk about why the labels were created and helped explain the group’s cause to race attendees. This meant that it was easy to distribute not just the labels, but also a message about the importance of showing support.

Of course, not everything about this quick turnaround was down to the label. Sometimes, the choice of supplier is just as important as the choice of which label to print. The non-profit found that, with a little extra help from their supplier to make sure their labels arrived in a timely fashion, the label they chose brought with it some great benefits:

  • Runners were able to show their support and the custom label shape was easily recognized on their shirts
  • Labels stayed adhered to runners’ clothing during the entire marathon
  • With freeform™ laser cutting, there was no additional cost for a die to create the custom shape
  • Printed label liners allowed race organizers to easily explain their cause and why the labels were created

Labels can also assist with fundraising efforts and to secure sponsorships. They can help with drumming up interest, announce a person’s participation in an event or charity drive, thank contributors, and decorate event paraphernalia, just to name a few.

So what types of labels can non-profits utilize? The list is long, but some of the big ones include:

  • Tech Decals & Stickers Sheets
  • Bumper Stickers
  • Mailing Labels
  • Window Decals
  • Promotional Stickers
  • Water Bottle Labels

Whether people choose to run a marathon to help raise funds, wear a fun-and-flirty red dress to stand in solidarity, or simply pin a ribbon to a lapel to show support, there’s a super easy and very visual way to help spread the word about non-profit organizations and fundraisers. Labels Works products! The possibilities for advertising with labels are truly endless and the more the public sees a logo or symbol, the more familiar they become with the cause it represents.

Looking for label inspiration? Check out our selling resources for an online catalog, sales tools and so much more. As always, if you need label or pricing help, please contact Label Works at 800.522.3558 or customercare@labelworks.com. We’re here to answer any of your label questions!
