Social Media for the Health and Nutrition Industry


The health and nutrition business is constantly changing—keeping current with compliance issues, new products, new research, and new approaches to health and health concerns can be challenging. Your customers want to know what you are doing—and know it NOW. Social media is the perfect, near real-time way to communicate with your customers, be they consumers or other businesses in the industry.

But where to start? The rules of social media are different for you than for other industries. Depending on your business, you have to be aware of how to use product claims and testimonials, your guarantees and even new language around specialty diets. But the basic principles are the same: strategy before tactics, goals before tools, and message before copy.
