Marketing for Nutritionists — The 5 Content Strategies to Nail

In this blog post, we share the strategies we found the most high-converting throughout our years of doing online marketing for nutritionists, dieticians, and other professionals in the nutrition field.

What sets apart successful nutritionists and dieticians from other food and nutrition consultants? We say it’s the ability to attract people and maintain a steady pool of clients effectively. Nailing your content marketing is one way to bring growth to your nutrition practice. Today, we’ll look at five different strategies and ideas to kickstart the profitability of your brand through content marketing. 

How to Take Your Content Marketing to the Next Level

Content marketing for nutritionists and dieticians should encompass attention-grabbing and engaging email campaigns, blog articles, video content, website pages, and social media posts. These fool-proof strategies can help you win more clients and keep existing ones for the long term.

#1. Compelling Email Newsletters

Through emails, you can communicate directly with your clients. At the same time, clients can learn a lot about your brand and what you can offer them. Building a connection with prospects and clients through email marketing takes a process that involves the following:

• Introduction - Tell your new clients how you can help them achieve their health goals. Your welcome or introductory email should list the primary services and offerings you have for your clients.
• Onboarding- When new clients have decided to sign up for one of your services, you can send out onboarding emails to orient them and provide more information about your services. What discounts can they get? What related services can you recommend? Be sure to tell in your onboarding email as well.
• Promotion- You can send emails about occasional or seasonal promotions, such as discounts, webinars, and giveaways, for your brand to gain more traction. Promotional emails can potentially entice new clients to avail of your services and retain old clients.
• Newsletters- Weekly newsletters that include updated information about your services or relevant topics can encourage trust among clients.

When employing email campaigns in your marketing strategy, make each email personalized-- as if you are talking to your client in person. Creating compelling email newsletters will take time and effort, but it can be a solid foundation for authentic connections with new clients.

#2. Fully Optimized Website Content

Your nutrition website contents are your clients’ gateway to information about your brand.  What you add to your homepage and the rest of the main pages and how you present these pieces of information are essential considerations in optimizing your website. 

Here are some tips in optimizing your nutrition website:

• The homepage should include basic information about your services as well as client testimonials to demonstrate the value of your services. 
• It would be best to place the links to other main pages where they are more visible to your clients, such as the top navigation. 
• Keeping your content simple and straight to the point benefits the loading time, performance, and ease of using your website.
• Add call-to-actions or CTAs throughout your website that links back to your services or contact page. 

#3. Valuable Blogs

Different users have varying searches on the internet, depending on what they need. Since your brand targets a specific audience—people who need help on what they eat to lead a healthy lifestyle— then your website content should be relevant to them.

Create blog posts that are relatable and contain information to help your clients understand their health and nutrition problems and redirect them to your services. Be sure that you end each post with a CTA that invites your readers to consult or have counseling with you.

#4. Effective Social Media Posts

Social media marketing for nutritionists and dieticians has grown exponentially in the last decade. You can use Facebook, Instagram, and other social media platforms to spread awareness about proper nutrition and health practices. Many social media users gather information about food, dieting, and healthy nutrition, and you can be their source. 

Here are some tips in creating compelling content for social media:

• Follow the “KISS” principle— Keep It Short and Simple.
• Use high-quality images and videos in your posts.
• Create motivational posts, nutrition tips, ideas, and other engaging content.
• Link your posts and social media back to your website to engage traffic.

#5. High-Impact Videos

By promoting your brand through videos, your clients can learn a lot about the services you offer and the benefits that come with them.  As much as 45% of consumers find videos more appealing than other forms of content. Meaning, creating attention-grabbing video content can lead to client loyalty.

You can create engaging videos by:

• Improving your content quality- The “substance” of your videos is more crucial than the technical aspects. You do not need fancy transitions or animations if the content of your video already nails the engagement.
• Focusing on storytelling - Make sure that the content and information flow nicely.
• Optimizing your videos- Optimization depends on the platform you are using. For example, most clients are mobile users. So you have to make your videos mobile-friendly, especially when you also plan to post videos on Youtube or Facebook.

If you don’t already use videos to drive clients in, now’s the time to start. Leverage video marketing for nutritionists by making brand videos, testimonials, and nutrition tips. The KISS principle still applies when it comes to video marketing. However, make sure that you use good or high-quality footage and sounds in your videos.
