subject: Why Small Businesses Should Sell To Hospitals [print this page] Successful small businesses are constantly in search of markets that are growing and that have a steady pool of potential clients that provide stable, repeatable business and an opportunity to escalate their product or services with a culture inclined to giving referrals. The hospital market space provides all of these characteristics for several reasons.
Due to the millions of baby boomers at or approaching retirement, the health care environment in the United States has no option other than to explode exponentially in servicing the health needs of this aging population. This not only applies to hospitals, but their related facilities as well, such as nursing homes, assisted living, long term care and surgery centers.
Small businesses can position themselves in this industry, acutely aware of the serious growth potential and knowing their efforts in penetrating the health care market will pay off for their company long into the future.
Another critical factor in hospitals being a wise choice for small business marketing activity is its stability. Regardless of the economy, human beings will always have health related issues that must be addressed and hospitals will be there to provide care. Also, no matter which side of the political aisle you lean towards, the federal government will not let the health system fail and will step in to get keep the hospitals functioning if necessary (and needing products and services). The combination of these two factors indicate a very stable market for a small business owner to focus on.
Finally, the majority of hospitals are usually part of a larger group with either additional hospitals, nursing homes or surgery centers in the same system. This fact lends the health care market to providing strong referrals for competent vendors as similar departments communicate with each other on a very regular basis.
With this unique combination of positive market attributes, all small businesses should participating in selling their products and services to hospitals.
