Why is Brand Engagement important? Not only do many women mistrust the health care system, they don’t believe marketers even understand them. That’s partly why women use social media to gain information and insights on everything from conditions to treatments for themselves and their loved ones. Women prefer to network with other women like them for health information
Social networking is more than a passing fad. Women have always networked, and now its available 24/7 wherewever we work, play, shop or travel.

However women network, it is now a key influencer in how women get their health and wellness information. The key for marketers is to turn engagement into a desirable action.
Three years ago we started a social network and blog called Real Women on Health. During this time, we’ve mobiiized women as consumers, working women, health care professionals and change agents in health care. With over 5,000 direct members and millions more reached through our twitter followers, it’s clear that the network is just the tip of a larger iceberg as more women continue to seek out social networking to find information from others like them, and share their opinions. Our on-line radio shows have attracted thousands of downloads and it’s a magnet for attracting women who want to be empowered to be their own best health and wellness advocate through networking and education.
So, how does networking start?It all starts with relevant content. Spurring our own networking efforts, we used blogging as a way to dive deep and create valuable and engaging blogs or articles on-line. Our blog posts were shared on sites with over 20,000 visitors a month. Sites like Vibrant Nation, Better After 50 and just last week, we were interviewed for a feature article for National Women’s Health Week for Everyday Health. Our favorite topic How I Found the ME in Menopause has been featured in several top women’s sites and is now the topic for a speaking engagement with the Connecticut Women’s Consortium. That’s the power of networking in women’s health!
Through social networking we uncover opportunities to share our story, not just once but leverage it throughout sites that we know offer women value. Our first blog post appeared on More.com, when we shared one of our firsts over 40. Since then, the blogpost has been re-purposed and featured on the National Association for Baby Boomer Women web site and was a feature article in the Fairfield County Woman magazine. These articles help to attract more members to our facebook and blog site, now over three thousand women.
For the tens of millions of new moms and boomer women out there who are running to the ladies room all too frequently, we’ve re-positioned an option that women can use themselves to strengthen their pelvic floor muscles and reclaim their sex lives! To kick off the project we invited Dr. Jennifer Wider, Author of the New Mom’s Survival Guide to speak with us on our on-line radio show. Then, we mobilized a group of listeners to join us in our own living room to talk about the embarrassing but all too common problem of leaky bladders. What we discovered through our conversation was pivotal for the medical team inside our client’s company.
As part of our Women’s Health Conversation Network, we bring in our partners to help zero in on your marketing and communications goals to reach just the women you want to influence. And, they are not just our favorite sites. Dr. Oz and Forbes have both voted HealthyWomen the #1 women’s health web site which reaches over 100,000 women, female health care professionals and businesswomen. Our partner Everwell brings our content into over 4,000 primary care offices across the country to help us educate and inform women in ways that bring the most credibility to our work. And, we’re not missing out on the blogosphere where women turn to to talk with women like them. Real Women on Health is a contributor to sites like EmpowHer, Vibrant Nation and sites who invite us in regularly to participate by blogging. We’re known and respected on-line where women gather and we bring this capabilitiy to our cilents.
