ADVERTISING

The more consistent and compelling your advertising efforts are, the greater your impact. Consistency nets results over time that will push you beyond the impact of a single advertising campaign. Don’t give up on advertising if you get mixed results — keep trying different things to find something that works.

Widex Marketing and your Widex Sales Team can work with you to plan a strategic calendar so you can be proactive in your marketing. And, once it’s done and approved, we do all the work! There are many outlets, for various budgets, and Widex will help you find the solutions that work for you and your practice.

Advertising Inserts

Print Ads

Videos

Full color, printed flyers and broadsheets inserted into regular publications have a huge impact. And we will customize them all for your practice, publication, and event.

Brand your practice with attractive ads that your audience comes to know and recognize. We’ll design them to your satisfaction and size them for insertion.

Whether it’s a video that will be viewed on your Facebook page or YouTube channel or a looping presentation in your waiting area, video works. Let’s get rolling.

BE THERE IN ALL THE MOMENTS THAT MATTER The true benefit of investing in hearing aids is the ability to BE THERE in all the moments that matter — enjoying a night at a party, sharing dinner with friends and family, and even simple evenings at home, talking and watching television with a loved one.
