Last time we looked at three gigantic marketing ways you ought to be doing this year to grow your business. Today, let us consider at four more advertising ways you would be so clever to utilize in 2011 for your biggest year yet.
#4. Have Your Employees Perform "Focused" Spinal Screenings
This counsel may come as a jolt to some of my readers, as I have oftentimes asserted spinal screenings are a waste of time for a number of doctors. And I still tell my patients and customers that. For the medical doctor, it is not a excellent employment of your time to go and invest 4 hours standing at the front of a business, chasing people with a clipboard in hand. I've conducted enough of these modes of screenings in my lifetime and 95% of them were a total squander.
#5. Email advertising With Existing and Inactive Patients
It's staggering that numerous chiropractors still don't inquire from for their patient's email address. It's as simple as integrating it on the intake form for all fresh patients. The basis this is so valuable in your advertising line of attack is that we're all human being, which means we forget stuff. Patients forget appointments unless reminded. And this is particularly valid of clients who's treatment plan does not take them to appear in frequently (maintenance or fitness clients, etc.) How much revenue is missing in your business each week purely since people forgot about their appointments?
#6. Obtain More PI patients
As wellness insurance becomes more arduous to deal with in 2011, several chiropractors will turn to observing more auto accident cases. Regrettably, majority chiropractors still consider PI promoting is all about using outdated lawyer-schmoozing ways to get new PI patients. While it's valid a few chiropractors do this, its by no means needed to for having a unbeaten PI practice.
#7. apply Direct Mail
Direct mail has long been a evaluated and established marketing method in businesses worldwide. But when the recent recession strike, numerous enterprises pulled out of direct mail promoting that the USPS took a gigantic hit. And regrettably several chiropractors did the same. Definitely cutting back on your direct mail campaign doesn't make sense if all your competition has conducted the same. Like newspaper ads, now is the best time to utilize direct mail, in view of the fact that other people are cutting back or certain it doesn't function well.
What sort of direct mail? I would not suggest elaborate postcards. Lengthy copy letters and postcards work best, but they should be written well and not sound untrustworthy or cheap. Also, list selection is notable when it comes to direct mail. Getting a good list from a list broker can augment your return on investment radically.
The super-successful practice will implement all seven of these tactics. Which of these 7 will you put into action this year?
