5 Sure Signs You're a Content Writing Scrooge

Let's face it: as content writers, we can be a little (or a lot) eccentric... 

We're set in our ways, we're emphatic about what we do and we insist there's no one else out there as privy to all the grammatical dos and don'ts that exist in the vast world of words around us.

Here are 5 sure signs that YOU too (much like some of our writers at Escaype Enterprises ) are a content writing Scrooge:

1. When a colleague writes you a work-related email...
you can't help but correct the typos and errors in his/her message prior to writing and sending your response.

2. Someone sends you a Christmas card... 
you instantly notice it's enclosed with a couple of grammatical mistakes and you instantly grab a red pen to mark through and revise their heartfelt greeting.

3. You're sending someone a text message...
and you purposely type out the entire word, "Christmas" because you can't stand when people write or type the holiday as "Xmas" instead.
4. You're shopping for presents at a local mom & pop shop...
and you go out of your way to tell the cashier there's a typo on their door sign announcing their special holiday business hours.

5. You're perusing your daily newsfeed on Facebook...
and you REFUSE to share (or even "like") those cute little holiday memes anywhere on social media simply because there's a spelling error or misuse of punctuation in it.

At Escaype Enterprises we know correct grammar, spelling & punctuation matter. For information about our content writing services visit our web site TODAY!

Stuck on You: 4 Easy Ways to Create "Sticky" Content

When it comes to creating quality content, there are a myriad of ways to communicate with your audience on the web these days.

You can tweet, you can write an article to publish on your blog or you can use multimedia (a video or an image).

You can also post colorful infographics on your company social media... which have recently become quite popular (plus, they allow you to communicate using the best of both worlds: text AND visual media). 

So how does one get started with generating this exactly? By creating content that sticks... to our eyes, in our minds and on our lips. 

Our Escaype Enterprises marketing gurus have 4 easy ways to help you nail the "sticky content" challenge your business may be facing:


1. Select SIMPLICITY over spillin' the beans.
Keeping it simple is achievable for all of us... We just need to keep reminding ourselves that not everyone knows what your business does, nor do they need to know everything all at one time. Simple content makes for an easy read, and something easy to remember as well!

2. Don't underestimate UNEXPECTEDNESS.
We often slip into the communicating the same way, day in and day out. Generating significant impact can often be achieved through: 

- an unexpected, yet appropriate image uploaded to your company Facebook page (such as a pic of one of your staff members in action)
- an entertaining tweet celebrating the victory of your favorite college football team
- a surprise blog post written by someone from outside your business who has had a positive experience with your products/services

3. Cultivate CREDIBILITY.
A way to add credibility to the content you write/generate/post on our Information Superhighway is through the use of statistics (they're easy to find and they make your company look wiser!). Credibility is often carried by someone who has experienced it for themselves and is prepared to state it publicly, so it's great to dig up those positive customer reviews of yours and/or inspirational quotes from famous people and utilize them as part of your marketing strategy!

4. Evoke EMOTION.
A compelling story about a special event or someone in particular can produce a much greater effect and emotional response (REALLY. It's okay to show a softer side of your business). Remember this: With the 27 million pieces of content that are shared daily you’re competing not just with other like-minded brands, but with the media, blogs and anyone else who publishes an article, photo or comment as well. Say something meaningful already!

So how can you be more than just another company promoting yourself on the web? You just need to BE DIFFERENT.


Escaype Enterprises can help your company develop and execute a unique marketing strategy to help you stand out effectively and get noticed quickly. Don't believe us? Visit our web site TODAY for more information.

Here's to finding yourself in sticky situations more often (in a good way, of course)!

Our 2 Cents: How to Boost Your Web Presence Without Breaking the Bank

It's no secret that having a strong web presence for your business is essential in today's internet-driven world. 

Marketers frequently throw around terms like, “ search engine optimization ” ( SEO ) and act as though there's some magic formula that only they know to move your company up in Google's search rankings. 

The good news is that increasing your company's web presence and visibility isn't rocket science. 

With a little effort and common sense advice from those with experience, you can implement practical strategies like these for making your business visible to current and potential customers alike:

1. Have compelling content.
It's pretty simple if you think about it. How likely are you to share someone else's sales pitch with all of your Facebook friends or Twitter followers? It's probably not going to happen. 


When you are creating website content, writing blog posts, sharing information on social media and participating in online discussions, it's so important to think in terms of who your audience is and what they will find interesting and worthy of passing on. 

It may initially be hard to break out of the "hard sell" mode, but giving your current and potential customers information they can use and offering to help them find solutions that work for them will go much further. Stumped about how to create compelling content that's relevant to your brand? Ragan Communicationsoffers these tips.

2. Keywords = Traffic.
Keywords hugely influence the amount of traffic websites that blogs get because they allow search engines to determine how well a page matches a user's search term. 


Make sure your website pages have popular keyword tags and that you include keyword labels when posting blog entries in sites such as Blogger and WordPress. 

3. Use review sites to your advantage.
When deciding between you and your competitors, a majority of adults turn to online reviews. The popular site, Yelp, has 18 million unique visitors each month, and 85% of users say they give as much weight to an online review as they would a personal recommendation. 


Seek out your best customers and ask if they would be willing to write reviews for you, and make sure you monitor new reviews and respond when needed. Here are some basics for making Yelp work for you.

4. Get social. Get involved.
We've discussed the importance of social media for businesses in this blog, but it bears repeating. Most people who are online are on at least one social network. 


Depending on your type of business, it's most likely beneficial to have a presence on popular social networking sites such as Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest or LinkedIn. In addition to that, become involved in online forums, newsgroups and discussions to increase your visibility.

Escaype Enterprises can help your company develop a customized strategy to increase your web presence and allow you to stand out and get noticed.

3 Reasons to Social-Eyes with a Purpose for Your Business

In the last decade, social media and blogging have moved from the realm of teenagers on MySpace to being widely-used business tools. 

When done correctly, social media and blogging can be part of a very effective marketing strategy. If you’re not already using social media and blogging to tell your story and interact with current and potential customers, here are three reasons you should:

1. You position yourself as an expert.
By sharing useful content (usually called inbound marketing) about your industry and company, you show your current and future customers that you have knowledge and expertise and can be trusted. Also, your existing customers need content to share if they’re going to be online ambassadors for your company and tell others about the great job you’re doing. A recent
Harvard Business Review article shows approximately 43% of social media users have purchased a product or service as a result of seeing it shared or favorited on social media outlets such as Facebook, Twitter or Pinterest.

2. You get instant feedback from the people who matter the most. Social media and blogging allow for interaction with your current and future customers. The public nature of this interaction has made some companies hesitate to jump into the conversation, but there’s great value in the feedback you can get via social media and blogs. By using old-fashioned customer service strategies in new media, you can quickly resolve potential issues and keep loyal customers. Companies such as
Comcast have developed reputations as social media stars because of their responses to customers experiencing difficulties.

3. It’s inexpensive and effective.
Before social media and blogging, companies were more limited in their options for reaching out to current and potential customers. While options such as direct mail and advertising are effective, they also can be expensive and are one shot deals. Social media tools and blogging allow you to inexpensively target customers and provide multiple opportunities for interaction.
Researchers estimate 90% of internet-savvy adults use some form of social media--if your customers are using these tools, shouldn’t you?

Escaype Enterprises can help your company develop and execute a social media strategy that will make you stand out and get noticed. Visit our

The Periodic Table of Success: 4 Elements to Include Every Healthcare Marketing Strategy

Running a marketing campaign (especially for a medical practice) without a concrete and well–researched content marketing strategy is like driving through a dark forest without headlights... 

That's because you're bound to hit a few obstacles (like trees!) and get lost along the way. 

As content strategists we constantly strive to generate content that's

- captivating
- understandable
- informative


... in all its various forms. When healthcare organizations are planning their content marketing efforts, there are a few basic guidelines that can definitely keep a campaign on the ultimate path to success. 

Here are 4 important elements we recommend you include in your healthcare content marketing strategy:

1) Narrow your focus.
To market content more effectively, you need to know WHO the people are you are targeting. Try to reach smaller audiences one at a time that you can categorize by segments 
(heart patients, mothers seeking pediatric care, internet surfers searching for a plastic surgeon, etc). This will allow you to truly impact each group of people according to the specific medical products or services they need from your business. 

2) Know the "who," "what" & "why" about your audience.
Part of knowing your current audience as well as your current patients is to fully understand the context behind their situations. Know what their specific concerns, common questions and precise interests are when they visit your company website. What motivates them to seek your care? What solutions to you currently have to offer? What made them choose your healthcare organization over your competition? 


3) Set clear-cut goals.
Before starting any healthcare marketing campaign, be sure you have an accurate understanding of what your company hopes to gain from your audience. Are you aiming to acquire new patients, or simply engage your existing social followers? Are you promoting a new product or offering a special discount on a specific service/treatment at your facility?

4) Make plans to contact your target market through another medium of communication. 
Along with building your brand and growing your social following, you may also want to continue contacting them to keep 'em around long term! Larger, more established healthcare organizations typically do this with an email blast or an SMS (text message) campaign, but smaller businesses can simply start by calling patients and prospects directly. Not everyone will have time to revisit your site for new update about your company or to check out your seasonal promotions, so why not keep your audience informed through other means, like email or text?!
When it comes to raising awareness for your brand, informing audiences about what it is you offer and convincing prospective patients why they should choose YOU... implementing an effective plan of action and spending more time preparing up front can save you a handful (or more) of nagging headaches down the road.

The Escaype Route: 5 Things I'll Never Miss About Corporate America

It's been almost one year since I bid farewell to the Sisyphus-like routine of a 9 to 5 office job and I must admit: I don't seem to have any regrets about jilting Corporate America.

As a team member of Escaype Enterprises LLC I thought I'd take a jog down Memory Lane (this counts as my cardio for the day, right?) to share the top 5 things I will truly never miss about that way of life. So here goes:

1) Waking up at the crack of dawn.
Sure, the early bird may catch the worm... but let's face it. Some of us are NOT morning people. I just happen to be in that category, so the idea of being jolted out of my last REM stage by the blaring sounds of my cell phone alarm 5 (and sometimes 6) days a week is and always will be AWFUL.


2) That dreadful morning commute.
I always found it odd that millions of Americans shared the misfortune of rolling out of bed in a frenzy and scrambling frantically to get out the door, only to find ourselves sitting idle among a sea of cars occupied by other impatient business professionals who, by the looks on their faces, were running just as late as I was. I always chalked it up to "That's just Atlanta traffic for ya..." which brings me to Number 3--


3) The Walk of Shame.
Anyone who knows me will agree that while punctuality is definitely NOT my strong suit, my inadvertent tardiness has ZERO impact on my work ethic and my productivity. I think about the nasty glares I used to receive from my coworkers each time I entered the office half an hour past "9am-on-the-dot" and strolled into my cubicle. Come on, we were salaried. We weren't required to clock in, we just got paid to get the job done within our employer's parameters of a 40-hour work week. 


Did I show up for work later than others? Yes. Did I complete all my responsibilities within my given time frames? Yes. Did I ever give anyone the If-Looks-Could-Kill stare as they bolted for the parking lot at 4:59:59 pm while I stayed at the office almost 3 hours later than everyone else (including the janitors)? No. I rest my case.

4) Water Cooler Talk.
It's hard to believe that those of us with extroverted personalities wouldn't want to engage in small talk at any given opportunity, right? Especially since we're confined to 5' x 5' work spaces made of carpeted walls which typically don't have windows or any type of attractive view. For me personally though, I was never a fan of discussing the weather or disclosing elaborate details about my weekend with someone who just happened to be in the break room at the same time I was pouring my 6th cup of Maxwell House before lunchtime. A simple "Hi" would actually suffice, and I promise I wouldn't think you were being rude. After all it's just business... NOT a social networking mixer.


5) Doing the same thing over and over again.
It's true-- Many of us are creatures of habit... which means you have absolutely no problem with a predictable daily routine, a structured lunch break and a monotonous regimen like pushing papers or crunching numbers. As someone who is easily bored by consistency, I had an extremely difficult time performing the same tasks. Over and over again. To produce the same result. Hey, isn't that the unofficial definition of INSANITY?


These last 11 months as a freelancing professional for Escaype Enterprises have been the exact opposite of a typical Corporate America position: There are NO standard hours of operation. We don't implement the same projects each month, much less from day-to-day. You're not required to be in "business casual" attire to perform your duties. There are no office politics. You don't have to put in 52 straight weeks of employment so you can be granted permission to be sick or enjoy the afternoon off when it's a sunny Wednesday before the clock officially strikes "Close-of-Business o'clock."

As if that's not enough to gloat about... Here's the BEST thing: I can honestly say I love what I do for a living. How many of us can say that? My guess is not many.

Bottom line is this: Don't allow several years or even decades to pass before you realize your occupation/livelihood "really wasn't all that great." Whatever it is you do for a living in order to pay your bills, feed your family or support that impulsive shoe habit... Make certain it's something you're passionate enough about that you truly have no regrets. 

So what are you waiting for?! Create your own Escaype Route starting NOW.

To Market, To Market: 6 Social Media Tips for Powerful Healthcare Marketing

More than ever, it is become essential for hospitals and healthcare providers to restructure their healthcare marketing strategies to include social media. 

Globally both healthcare organizations and medical professionals are using social media today as an important tool to:

- increase brand awareness both online and offline
- connect with current and/or prospective patients
- encourage engagement among current social followers
- disseminate relevant/helpful information relevant to the healthcare industry
- boost organic web presence for maximum results on page 1 of a Google search inquiry

- drive more traffic to each company's official web site

When it comes to successful healthcare marketing ...a well-planned social media strategy can be used to accomplish your goals (such as those mentioned above) effectively. It's also:

- more affordable than traditional methods of marketing (billboards, TV ads, radio commercials, etc.)
- easier to track your ROI, thanks to today's web analytics tools
- longer lasting than a newspaper ad published one time only, or a radio spot that airs only a few times per week/month

Here are 6 useful social media tips companies in the medical industry can implement to maximize your healthcare marketing efforts:


1. Don’t take a “wait-and-see" approach.
Many businesses may believe that social media is nothing but a passing fad, but based on statistics over just the past five years... we know now it's here to stay. 


The sooner your organization can develop an active presence and social media strategy, the less distance you will have to make it up later.

2. Establish a social media policy.
As a rule, your employees and customers will have a protection against security, privacy or ethics breaches when it happens. Staff education and training plus an outreach are necessary to ensure your team will fully comprehend your company's social media purpose and have the ability to therefore carry out your policy with compliance.

3. Follow your patients.
It's important to listen to what others are saying about your practice/facility, your medical products/services and your reputation as a healthcare provider. Whether it's a Tweet from someone inquiring about a particular medical condition or a Facebook comment regarding their recent experience as a patient, be sure you use your social media platforms to 'listen' to what others are saying about you (and even your competition).

4. Consider starting by going 'back to basics.'
Social media can be used to enhance marketing, branding, recruitment, reputation, management, customer relations and customer service. You must, however, educate yourself first on what is allowable
- under HIPAA privacy rules
- legalities surrounding the disclosure of your patients' personal information
- publication of any details regarding a patient's medical history or photographs

5. Begin small and monitor your outcomes.
We understand company marketing budgets can be tight at times. The good news is, you don’t have to develop a full-blown social media strategy right from the start (although eventually you should probably have one). Start small, with regular social media posting and publication of at least one blog a week. After monitoring which of your posts receive the most traction or engagement, you'll have a better idea of how to expand your marketing efforts (such as generating more blogs per week, implementing small-scale videos or even creating new micro sites).

6. Recruit social media managers & content writers who know your industry.
You may know your organization and products/services like the back of your hand, but beware: simply hiring a green, just-out-of-college social media manager who claims to be internet savvy or proficient with Facebook posting does NOT. As a company in the medical arena it's imperative that all your social media content/blogs are strongly written, strategically posted during high-traffic hours during the week and most importantly... accurate.

Easier Than the MCAT: 5 Simple Strategies for Effective Healthcare Marketing

Healthcare reform has given traction to the idea of consumer-driven healthcare. 
As high deductible health insurance plans gain in popularity, the idea is that consumers, who are spending more of their own money up front on routine and preventive care, will make wise choices to stay healthy.  

As consumers take more control as to which physicians they see, practices have to consider how to market themselves directly to consumers. And with everything else you have to worry about, getting a handle on your marketing efforts can feel really overwhelming. 

The good news? It's totally manageable. Below are some tips to make you stand out as a healthcare marketing warrior: 

1. Do some recon. 

It's easy to get locked into your daily routines and not think much about your competition. But to develop a strong marketing plan, you need to know what makes you different and how you stand out from your competitors. If you don't know why you're better, it's going to be a hard sell to convince others.

2. Be strategic.
Now that you know your competitive advantages, think about where you want your practice to be in three to five years? What are tools you have available to make that happen? What makes the most sense for your practice and the patients you want to reach? Answering these questions will give you a sense of what you need to do.


3. Get with the plan. 

After you've answered the hard questions, you need to formulate a plan for how to make the strategy a reality. Determine a realistic budget and draft a schedule of when it makes sense to reach out to potential and current patients through direct mail, advertising, social media and your blog. 

4. Rally the troops. 

Good, old-fashioned word of mouth is still one of your strongest weapons. Engage staff members, loyal patients, family and friends to spread the word--digitally. Consider asking patients with great success stories to share a testimonial for your website. You could also film the testimonial and share via social media. 

5. Call for reinforcements.
If you're wondering where to start or how your staff can handle marketing on top of their additional duties, Escaype Enterprises has years of experience in healthcare marketing and can help with customized solutions for your practice and budget. Click here to learn more about us TODAY!

Twist & Shout: 5 Cool Things You Can Do When You Work Smarter, Not Harder

Implementing new practices or technology at work (like investing in one of those snazzy one-cup coffee brewing machines or signing up for a new eBilling software system) is one of the best ways you can work smarter instead of harder. 

Not only will you make more productive use of your day at the office, you'll have all this free time on your hands to do some of those things that have been on your bucket list. For years. Or even decades.

So now that you've gotten your quick & easy fix of java for the day and/or your daunting task of mass invoicing on autopilot, what is it you will do first with all this extra time left in the day (not to mention your work week)? The answer is: Have some FUN, of course! 

Here are 5 cool things you can do with your newly discovered free time (or at least these are some things Social Media Director/Guest Blogger Candy Hogue would do anyway):

1. Go on a picnic.
Ah, to have a leisurely picnic in the park... even if it just involves a bagged lunch overlooking a pond or lake. This sounds like the best plan ever for a sunny day, especially after being trapped in a cubicle for the entire morning.

2. Ride a tandem bicycle.
Hitting the hills on a normal, single rider bike can be fun, but a tandem bicycle adds a whole new level of excitement to just "cycling." It's kinda like skydiving as a novice with someone practically strapped to your back (okay, not really. Bikes aren't that dangerous). So if you're feeling adventurous but aren't quite ready to jump outta planes, you have got to ride a tandem bicycle at least once in your lifetime... just ignore the people laughing and pointing as you pedal past them. They're just envious, that's all.

3. Have a wine tasting party.. at your own home.
Here's how it works: Every couple brings 2 bottles of wine-- one they love and one they haven't tried yet. Don't forget to serve some light h'ordeuvres (like brie & apples or crackers) to accompany your variety of wines. After all, the host of a wine tasting party should never be ashamed to cut the cheese.

4. Watch a movie under the stars.
With summer quickly approaching you may find yourself yearning to spend more time outside rather than staying cooped up indoors (might as well stay at your desk in that stuffy office). Why not grab a blanket, some snacks and head to a nearby park or venue that's hosting some sort of "movie night under the stars" event? Not only can this be romantic, it'll be a great chance for you to catch that new flick everyone's been raving about on Facebook.

5. Play the old school game Twister (why not?). 
So you haven't played the game since you were in grade school... but don't you recall how entertaining it used to be?! Twister is just as much amusement for adults as it is for children, which is why this is a perfect activity to do with your spouse & kids. Remember, the family that plays together-- stays together! 

Candy Hogue recently signed up for her new eBilling software through Billing Orchard . This affordable & efficient method of electronic invoicing has saved her HOURS of tedious paperwork each week (which is what prompted this wonderful list of free time activities). Not only is Candy now able to focus more on her projects as Social Media Director at Escaype Enterprises ... she also has more than enough time to tackle each and every item on her bucket list (so if you happen to see a cute blonde pedaling through the neighborhood on a tandem bicycle, be sure to point, laugh and wave).

How TWEET It Is: 3 Reasons Your Medical Practice Should Be Using Social Media

If someone has recently asked you, "Aren't you on Facebook?" and your answer was something like, "No, we just don’t have time for that... and besides, nobody wants to hear about what we do at our company every day..." Then guess what?! You are not alone.

This is actually a common response we've heard many times among business owners (especially in the healthcare industry) regarding the use of social media for their companies.

We at Escaype Enterprises understand that doctors (as well as owners of healthcare facilities) today may still be struggling to understand just what to do with social media and how it can be used to benefit their practices. 

So in order to get your feet wet before taking the plunge into that massive sea of tweets & hashtags, here are 3 noteworthy reasons social media can be advantageous to YOUR company:

1) Posting the links to your company's blogs does way more than you think (55% more, actually).
Social media democratizes information and gives us the ability to learn, grow, adapt and find new ways to overcome many of the challenges we face. Writing blogs for your social media pages are a perfect example of just that. Not only can these online publications help boost your organic web presence over time (with a whopping 434% more indexed pages in a Google search), blogs are also known for driving 55% more traffic to a company site.

2) 1 in 3 people post about their healthcare experiences online, and 2 out of 3 people look to online reviews when seeking treatment for their medical condition(s).
Blogs, Tweets and Facebook updates give doctors as well as patients a convenient platform to write about medical conditions, discuss treatment options or express views about a particular topic. Moreover, it allows doctors to educate their patients and their communities about what they specialize in, their methods of treating patients and the reasons why he/she is the best medical professional for you.

3) 80% of ALL searches online are healthcare related.
The World Wide Web provides an infinite amount of information at the fingertips of our prospects as well as our patients and this can be good or bad… if your company has an active presence on the sites which have the most traffic (i.e. Facebook, YouTube, etc.), then people are more likely to find your business when doing a Google search for your products and/or services. If you don't happen to have anything on the internet about your company, however, chances are those who are searching for you won't even know you exist!

So there it is in a nutshell: 3 reasons why healthcare businesses should jump on the bandwagon of social media. By making your mark in the spaces where your prospective & current patients already are, they won't have to find the products or services they need from your company, because your diligent updates & engaging posts will find them. 

How's that for effective marketing strategies? We know, it's ingenious!
