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.

When times are bad you must advertise.” During this time of uncertainty, some practices have decided to cut back on their marketing. They are pessimistic about marketing their practice right now and they decide to wait out this period by turning off their ads, and holding off on communicating with their audience. What this really means is that it’s prime time to market your practice.
