Eye on the Health Care Market

In 2012, the health care industry made up over 13.5% of the promotional product industry’s total sales, placing it at the number one spot compared to all other industries. Now, education has taken that role, and health care has steadily declined over the past few years.

This article takes a deep dive into the health market and provides tips and suggestions for distributors to increase their sales to doctors and clinics.

  • Capitalize on rebranding efforts.
  • Create unique promotions that serve a function.
  • Network within the system.
  • Focus on the future with digital, wearable tech.
