AI is not just a concept for big companies. In fact, small companies everywhere use AI to enhance their marketing efforts, including independent dental practices. It may also be surprising to learn that some of the marketing tools that dental practices use regularly are based on AI.
One of our clients recently wrote an article about how to build a successful dental practice, and we think he hit the nail on the head when he explained that marketing is a key factor in his success.
Prior to working with us, many of the dental practices we meet with aren’t certain how to know whether their marketing campaigns are really working. One of the questions we get asked most often is how to track what their campaigns are actually producing. To answer that question, we would like to talk a little bit about Marketing ROI — what it is, how to calculate it, and why you should be tracking it.
It’s 2022! A new year means new goals and a fresh start. So what can dental practices do to make this year different and better than the last? Here are three important marketing strategies that we think every practice should implement in 2022.
Marketing a dental practice is mostly about attracting new patients, right? Well… not really. Of course you want to grow your practice with new patients, but neglecting the patients you already have — the core of your business — is never a good idea. If your practice is successfully attracting new patients but losing existing ones, then the net result is not likely to be positive at the end of the year. Real growth happens when your practice can gain new patients AND continue to maintain active, profitable relationships with the existing ones as well.
Women are making their mark in every traditionally male-dominated industry, from finance to space travel, and definitely in dentistry. Where just a decade ago about 24% of all dentists were women, now that figure is closer to 35%, and women graduating from dental school nearly equal the number of men.
Don’t make these ghastly mistakes. Heed my warning before it’s too late! Muahahahaha… Just kidding. Every dental practice has had a marketing setback or two. The good news is mistakes like the ones I just described don’t have to turn into a horrible nightmare.
We often get asked about the difference between sales and marketing and how they work together. Marketing and sales are two closely related concepts that are equally essential if you want to increase revenue for a practice. Understanding the synergy between them is the key to growth.
Online Community Engagement Activities: What it is and why it’s important for your practice When we think of marketing, of course the first thing that springs to mind is advertising the practice and the services it provides. But that’s only part of it. Marketing is much more than running promotions and explaining to patients why…
If your practice believes marketing is an essential activity for growth, then you are among the vast majority of dentists in the country. But how do you know if your marketing efforts are paying off? Why, with tracking, of course!
