9. ROI stands for Return On Investment. Simply put, your return should be higher than your
investment. For marketing, this can be difficult to track. You may know what you are spending,
but if you are not tracking how many new patients you get or services you perform based on your
marketing efforts, you won’t know if your dollars are being well spent. You can collect this data by
tracking your leads, both through call-tracking and in-office patient surveys. This data can then
be tied back to revenue from each source of advertising and marketing, then cycled back into
revised marketing goals and objectives to maximize effectiveness of dollars spent.

11. SURVEYS
A great way to determine if your existing patients are responding to your marketing is
by surveying. Pre and post-service surveys identify strengths and opportunites of your
practice’s best standards, and will help you determine which marketing channels are
working for you.
12. CALL TRACKING
Call tracking numbers allow the tracking of phone calls to be associated with
performance-based advertising, and supplying additional analytic information about
the phone calls. Assign call tracking numbers to each ad variation or channel, such as
print, radio, and TV.
13. WEBSITE
You know it’s important that your practice has a website, how effective it is is another story.
It should be a resource for new and existing patients to find the information that is most important
and relevant to their needs.
Your site should have a responsive design, which means it is easily navigatable across all devices.
The copy on your site should be optimized for SEO, meaning potential visitors who are searching
for your services will be more likely to be directed to your site. Finally, the design of your site
should be consistent with the rest of your marketing materials.
14. GOOGLE ANALYTICS AND KEY WORDS
Google Analytics is a service offered by Google that generates detailed statistics about
websites, traffic and traffic sources, and measures conversions and sales. The basic service
is free of charge and a premium version is available for a fee. Google Analytics will tell you
who and where your visitors are, how they were referred to your site, and which device
they used to visit it.
15. SOCIAL MEDIA
Social media is a great way to build and maintain relationships with your patients. Facebook accounts
for approximately 15.8% of total time spent on the Internet. 71% of online adults use Facebook. 63% of
Facebook users visit daily and 40% visit multiple times per day. 47% of Americans say Facebook is their
#1 influencer of purchases. If your practice isn’t on Facebook you’re missing out on a huge opportunity
to connect with current and potential patients.
You should be posting on your social channels at least 2-3 times per week. Keeping your content fresh,
engaging, and interesting increases the likelihood that it will be seen, both on the social networking
platform and by search engines.
16. PUBLIC RELATIONS
The healthcare industry is a consumer-centered industry and public relations strategies help businesses
connect with their consumers through earned media. Through public relations, businesses are able to
target multiple audiences with different messages with little to no cost. In healthcare specifically, well
executed public relations campaigns can significantly increase sales and increase awareness.

18. WALK-IN TRAFFIC
Having a clear and visible representation of your brand, whether it’s a sign or billboard,
keeps you in the mind of potential patients who may not need your services now,
but will remember your brand when they do. This will allow you to take advantage of
regular commuter traffic.
19. EFFECTIVE PRINT ADS
There are three key ways your direct mail can be most effective.
1. Make sure you are sending your pieces to the right audience, both demographically and
geographically.
2. Include a coupon, offer, call-to-action, or special that incentivizes someone to take action now.
This may mean investing dollars in stock photography and having access to design software,
or hiring a professional to design your marketing pieces.
3. Repetition is key. You may not bring in your targeted number of patients after the first mailing,
but consistency both in message and in delivery will ensure your brand is memorable.
20. Now that you have new
patients coming in the door,
how can you turn them into
loyal patients?
21. REFERRALS
The most successful form of marketing is word of mouth. If you can reward your existing
patients for bringing in new patients, they will be more likely to refer your practice.
These rewards can take the form of a discount for future services, or be as simple as a gift
card to a local business that your patients might enjoy.
22. E-MAIL MARKETING
E-mail marketing is a great way to cost-effectively reach your patients. In order for your message
to be most effective, keep it eye-catching and brief, drive traffic to your website, and make sure
you preview it on multiple devices before distribution.
It can also be effective to target your audience through segmentation. For example, email an offer
to patients who are overdue for a checkup. Or, target offers for cosmetic procedures to patients
who are most likely to use that service.
23. ONLINE ADVERTISING
In order for your online advertising to be most effective, you need to understand your
target consumer - both who they are and what they do online. Once you have identified
your target audience, there are many ways in which to reach them. Google AdWords is a tool
to target potential customers by placing ads on a Google search result based on the keywords
a person uses to search. You can bid for search terms, but keep in mind general keywords like
“dentist” or “doctor” will be more expensive, so you should be specific both in terms
of location and the services you offer.
Once someone has visited your site, you should be able to collect data and use that to
re-market to them once they have left your site.
