Dental practices are using every advantage they can to stay competitive. Implementing PatientCaptureNow is a great way to stand out in a crowded field and attract high-quality patients. It makes building relationships so much easier, since the prospective patient feels like they already have a connection to your practice.
My Dental Agency began as an idea from Jackie Ulasewich who, after over a decade of working in dental marketing and business development, felt passionately about helping dental practices grow their businesses and add more new patients. My Dental Agency has taken the guesswork out of marketing a dental practice and has enabled its clients to focus their message, reach their target audience, and increase their new patient opportunities through effective marketing campaigns.

Implants are a popular and profitable procedure. So how does a practice go about attracting more patients who want them? After working in the dental marketing field for some time, we’ve picked up a few tips on what NOT to do…
5 Mistakes NOT to Make if You Want More Dental Implant Patients
New year, new you, as the saying goes. Everyone is making their New Year’s resolutions, vowing to eat better, exercise more, volunteer at shelter, and begin composting in the backyard. And while those are all great things on a personal level, they won’t do much to help your dental practice. So, let’s think about making some New Year’s Marketing Resolutions to start the year off with a bang and hopefully avoid some costly mistakes.
Start the New Year Right and Avoid a Marketing Disaster
Using the same marketing strategies year after year is a grave mistake, but many dental practices have yet to embrace the bone-efits of digital marketing.

Today, more and more businesses are turning to text messaging as an important value-added tool in their marketing and customer retention arsenal. From contacting new patients to treatment promotions and appointment reminders, text messaging patients is the wave of the future. No one wants their new patient leads to go to the practice down the street because they weren’t as fast or as targeted in the way they responded.

The same goes for your patients. Businesses across the board like to describe their product’s bells and whistles or the many, many details of what’s included with their service.
