You have a steady stream of patients, and you love those loyal customers. They are the ones who will always be there. They never miss an appointment. They tell other people about your practice. They pay on time. If every patient was like them, life would be easy! But, are you measuring your success by those loyalists?
What defines success to you and your dental practice? Are you assessing that by the number of new patients you have or by the number of good new dental patients?
If you aren’t struggling with it already — a common marketing challenge you’re sure to face is balancing new dental patients you bring into your practice with the right patients for you.
You’ve taken your practice into the 21st century; your website is up-to-date and ready to convert visitors into patients, but you’re still struggling with getting new patients in the door. You can use the latest tactics to draw in potential patients, but you can’t forget one thing – the importance of the phone call! That’s right – that mobile phone people use for surfing the Internet and texting still provides its initial function: calling.
Does your website seem to be lacking something? Are you trying to think of ways to increase traffic to your site? If you haven’t already, now might be the time to consider adding video to your marketing strategy. It can truly enhance your business and set your practice apart from competitors.
Does your website have an SSL certificate installed? Google has put in place big changes that could negatively impact your site – if you don’t act now. “Not Secure” warning messages are now being displayed by Google in search results, as well as natively in internet browsers (Chrome, Firefox, Safari, Edge, Internet Explorer, Opera, and more).
