Primary health care marketing opportunity at your fingertips!!!
Do people in primary health care know about your organisation?
Are they aware of what your organisation has to offer?
Businesses and organisations often ask themselves, "If only more people knew about us and our valuable work!", "How do we raise greater awareness about our work?"; "If only we had access to a captive audience".
The 2012 Primary Health Care Research Conference in Canberra offers you the marketing mix of the right place, the right people, and the right time!
Over the past 18 years the PHC Research Conference has consistently attracted over 350 people each year. These delegates include researchers, general practitioners, nursing and allied health practitioners, academics, policy makers, students and consumers. Drawn by their shared interest in primary health care they are open to knowledge exchange, keen to explore ways of improving their systems/practice and to discover new methods and products.
Have you considered directing some of your marketing budget towards promoting your organisation at the 2012 PHC Research Conference?
You could engage delegates over a coffee brewed by your sponsored barista; set up an exhibition booth displaying the best that your organisation can offer; or provide information flyers to be displayed to the delegates through the Information Kiosk. Alternatively you may prefer to propose your own marketing approach.
Now is the time to take advantage of this ideal opportunity. Why not set your organisation a cut above the rest and be there with us in Canberra at the 2012 PHC Research Conference!

Well just stop there! Why not consider applying for Delegate Sponsorship? Sponsorship may be granted to delegates residing in Australia who would not normally be able to attend the Conference because of funding difficulties. Part and full sponsorship packages are available.
