Website -

Needless to mention the significance of a website, but a healthy one. Now, what does “healthy” mean here?For a strong digital presence, “healthy” means a website which is a blend of attractive design keeping the interests of the target audience in mind and the message which the brand (the nutritionist/dietician) wants to convey.

Above all, it also means that the website is SEO friendly (a practice that makes your online address easy to reach).

Content

As the famous saying goes, ‘content is the king’ and to build a kingdom, you need one! Planning-Creating-Updating should be a routine for content. This is usually in the form of blogs, case studies or daily tips on social media.

As an expert in the field, there sure will be topics which are dear to your heart & you wish to bring it to the benefit of your clients or mere audience. Wouldn’t it be great if these topics are written in your own words, in an engaging style so that your customers can simply read them rather than you having to tell them every time?

Paid Campaigns

To reach out to new clients via a blend of your expertise & relatable communication can be a solid recipe. Nutrition and diet being subjective as well as sensitive topics, it needs personalisation.

Paid campaigns on search engines as well as social media can help reach a niche audience by targeting a particular subject all based on demographics. It allows you to leverage different filters such as interests, location, etc.

So if you specialise in a diet for obese or diabetes or any other disorder, you can actually reach out to people who are looking for the exact service that you offer.

Collaboration

Collaborating with different brands/individuals in the same field can or of similar interest can be a win-win situation. You may also consider influencer marketing.
