Let’s face it, given the democratic nature of the Internet, anyone can create and publish content. But if you’re in business — say, as an aesthetic professional hoping to reach potential patients — not just any old content will do. If you want people to actually read or view what you produce, it has to be useful, and if you want them to take subsequent action because of it, it has to be trustworthy.
The good news is that consumers do want brands to share content online — and trust that content when it’s educational, inspirational, and non-promotional. Considering the role trust plays in people’s aesthetic decisions, doctors, in particular, need to ensure they convey trustworthiness in everything they publish.
