Twitter – If you use your Twitter for professional purposes, it is always a good idea to have your certifications and credentials listed in the description on your Twitter account. Uploading the logo can also be a good idea. Occasionally reminding your Twitter followers that you are certified is also a good idea. Do so especially after you have gained a large number of new followers.
Company Fliers and Advertisements – Always make sure to market your HIPAA certifications on any company fliers or advertisements. It will let any prospective clients know that you’re certified and meeting all HIPAA requirements before they even begin to do business with your company. Advertising your credentials could even make clients choose you over a competitor without those credentials.
Proposals – Proposals are always an excellent place to market the certifications of your business. In many cases, doing so will give you better success on your proposals in general. You want to make sure that prospective business partners are fully aware of your training, which may give you an edge against your competitors. When in competition to win contracts, it is always best to advertise your capabilities as much as possible.
Press Releases – You definitely want to make sure you have your new credentials on any press releases that you send out for your business. It can increase the level of serious consideration that reporters or others will give to your press release and give you a better advertisement. By showing your certifications, you are advertising your various abilities and lending weight to the legitimacy of your company.
Signature Line – Adding your new credentials to the signature line of your emails can be a brilliant yet small marketing ploy. Anyone that your email will see that you are certified and up-to-date with all HIPAA requirements. Consider adding it to the signature line of your professional or business email.
