Dental Marketing That Consistently Delivers – Part Two

Once you’ve mastered the basics in marketing (reference Part One of this blog article if you missed it), then you are ready for Level II marketing activities. Here are a few Level II marketing activities that consistently deliver.

Get A Website Already – if you still don’t have a website, get one. Experts say about 70% of consumers today will shop the web before they make a purchase decision. That means if people have a choice between you and someone who does have a website, they may choose them over you. Patients want to learn about your team, see a photo of the doctor, tour the practice, review payment options, etc. Need I say more?

Be Found On The Web – an internet marketing guru friend of mine said, “A website is like a giant billboard in outer space that no one can see if you can’t be found online”. Be sure to do some research before you invest in search engine optimization services, check their client testimonials or get a referral from a trusted source.

Advertise in Community Papers – these are newspapers or newsletters that your neighborhood or local community associations produce. Search for those within 5 miles of your practice. These papers typically get read cover to cover, as people want to know what is going on in their neighborhood. Advertising rates can be fairly inexpensive and the big benefit is the ads are well targeted geographically.
