Plastikonomics provides an incisive analysis of the field of plastic surgery. It offers a glimpse of the world behind the curtain of operating rooms: the world of sharp tools and minds honed by years of training and education.

It rips through the insecure fortress of the whole medical field and exposes the humanity of doctors never seen before. It’s a brave narration of a profession fraught with equal amount of success and shortcomings and, sometimes, shocking doses of betrayal from the sworn oath.

An effective marketing plan often involves coming up with an effective advertising and promotion techniques. According to About.com writer Mary Bellis, there is a significant difference between the two techniques and a marketer should be well aware of it. Bellis puts it this way: while advertising involves the use of different media outlets (television, radio, Internet) to inform potential consumers of a certain product or service, promotion can entail community involvement such as sponsorship by non-profit organizations.



“Dr. Loren Borud offers both innovation and experience in the medical products and services space.”



By letting these organizations use part of their resources, companies involved in community services can bring much attention to their businesses and signal that they “are concerned and committed to the welfare of the community and its residents.”

Meanwhile, Bellis considers the identification and selection of the media that can provide huge amount of exposure to a company’s product as a crucial part of advertising. In order to do this, a company should have enough knowledge about its product and its selling points which “can arouse the costumers’ consciousness levels to the point that they are curious enough to investigate it.”
