When your audience first comes across your medical device or technology, they might feel unsure about whether they can trust your claims, wondering if your device can really do what you say it can?
This uncertainty often comes from past experiences where things didn’t go well or when they’re just not sure what to expect from a new company. Maybe they’ve been let down before by products that didn’t live up to their promises, or they’ve seen clinical claims that seemed too good to be true.
To get past this uncertainty, medical device brands need to be really open and honest with their potential users, answering their issues, fears and concerns as they arise. It’s all about building trust with your audience over time, proving yourselves through your actions, and making sure your audience feels good about choosing you and your technology.
Before we run through how to build trust through your messaging its first important to fully understand why you should use messaging to get your audience to trust you.
Good messaging can quickly advance your audience through your sales cycle. If you can answer all your audience questions and address their issues, fears and concerns before they even speak to you, there should be very little holding them back from taking the final step.
However, healthcare messaging is not the only thing that will speed up your sales process. Read our latest article to find out about the power of 1:1 personalised video on our learning hub.
While it’s great to get many leads, it’s even better to get the right ones. With a strong message that runs through all your marketing, you make sure you attract the right people.
If you don’t aim your message correctly, you might end up bringing in clients who aren’t a good fit for your business. That can mean wasting a lot of time and effort. Although it may look great on the top line, it won’t translate into sales so end in frustration. It’s important to focus on reaching the right people to save time and increase your chances of success.
This section of the article will run through all the top ways in which building trust through messaging is very important in setting your audience at ease and unknotting their distrust.
When creating messaging that’ll help build trust in your audience, keeping it clean and simple is the best way to go. Using complicated long paragraphs to explain your product or process can instantly repel a potential customer and make them distrustful of your content as it may look like you’re trying to confuse or mislead.
One of the best ways to build trust in your audience is to inform them. By providing clear and accurate information about your industry or product, you demonstrate transparency and expertise, establishing credibility in their eyes.
Educating your audience about the benefits, uses, and potential limitations of your offerings helps to manage their expectations and fosters a sense of reliability.
Offering insights, tips, and relevant data showcases your commitment to their well-being and success, positioning your brand as a trusted advisor rather than just a seller. Ultimately, empowering your audience with knowledge builds a foundation of trust that leads to long-lasting relationships.

An important part of your messaging should be about addressing and dispelling your audience’s issues, fears and concerns. No matter what industry you’re in or what you offer, each one of your audiences will come to you with similar if not the same worries, misconceptions and problems.
This is why, in your medical messaging, you must identify these issues, worries and concerns and address them head-on. By doing this and providing truthful answers you’ll be able to build trust with your audience.
The final way that you can use messaging to build trust in your audience is through creating a relationship with your audience. This works best through channels such as social media or email where you can send relevant content directly towards your audience.
This relevant content will show your audience that you not only understand them, but you know about their wants, needs and interests. That you have the solution to the problem that they’ve been thinking about. By being helpful and supportive to your audience you can build a relationship with them and foster trust.
Hopefully, now you have a better understanding of how a messaging campaign can help you overcome the initial scepticism of your audience and how it can build trust.
This trust can lead to more qualified leads and a smoother sales process for your company.
