Being a dentist requires a full sense of responsibility and accountability.
From attending to your patients’ needs all day, making sure all your dental operations are intact, and your team is working together closely to serve your existing patients’ needs.
However, treating existing patients is equally as important as acquiring new ones. Getting new patients may be a bit out of the box for you especially most of your potential patients are online and traditional marketing such as radio ads or print marketing will not make the cut.
Dental marketing has evolved since we live in the digital era and online visibility and credibility are one of the bases of whether or not your potential patients will book an online appointment with you.
Whether your dental clinic has a website or a social media page, getting “ website traffics” or “clicks” from social media ads doesn’t mean your “do it yourself” dental marketing will convert into high-quality paying patients.
We all have 24 hours a day, and as a busy dental practitioner like you, you will not have the time to learn how marketing for dentists works nor ask an admin staff to become an instant dental marketing pro.
Outsourcing the right dental marketing agency for your dental practice can ease the weight of your shoulder of figuring things out by yourself.
To give a sense of clarity, here are the top five reasons why you need a marketing agency for your dental practice:
Guaranteed ROI
You might think that hiring a dental marketing agency might cost a lot, however, most dental marketing agencies are results-driven and flexible with their pricing. They make sure that your budget is for a specific marketing campaign that has a guaranteed return of investment by means of new patients coming in from their marketing effort.
If the campaign is not making the most return of investment, they provide additional insights to where you can focus your budget on other marketing campaigns that will achieve your desired return of investments. A reputable dental marketing agency has the ability to guarantee you a new booked patients’ name from the marketing campaign they have executed.
Consistent Marketing Strategy
Though dentistry is evergreen essential care, if you want to keep the money coming in, consistent dental marketing is what makes your existing and new patients keep booking.
As a busy dental practitioners like you, we understand that focusing and serving your patients is what you should be consistent with, and wearing multiple hats may result in overwhelm and disorganization.
The key is to plan consistent marketing campaigns planned throughout the first six months to a year’s worth. One dental marketing strategy alone is not enough to test to which marketing effort will result in a higher return of investment. A long-term marketing campaign can book consistent patients considering that number of patients booked can be seasonal.
Dental marketing companies have the manpower to create consistent marketing plans and to track campaigns from quarter to a year. They can help you create an inbound marketing process, attract actual high-paying new clients and retarget your existing patients consistently.
Target and generate high-Quality patients
The common misconception about high-quality patients acquisition and retention is that most patients will visit a clinic nearby. However, considering that most of your patients are online, dental clinics that hire a dental marketing agency can reassure that they can be seen on top search results when their patients search.
Setting an effective social media campaign targeting patients not only living within your area but regions outside your clinic and actually shows results of booked patients from that campaign is one of the advantages of hiring an experienced digital marketing agency.
Remember, that each patient has different dental care needs and setting multiple and effective dental marketing campaigns per defined targets will help you identify the common purchasing pattern of high-quality patients to the lower ones.
From there, you can strategize the perfect message for those high-quality leads and execute dental marketing services and strategies that can guarantee consistent high-paying clients booked every month.
Updated marketing software and forecasted trends
Having up-to-date software to execute your dental marketing operations and efforts is important in order to run multiple and automated dental marketing campaigns across different digital marketing platforms.
Hiring a reliable digital marketing agency can help you measure your metrics and report to you which campaign is not working or worth a long-term strategy for your dental practice. They have the time and resources to create content and strategy that targets and converts high-quality patients to paying ones. Trends and new social media platforms are being developed every year so hiring a dental marketing agency that has the experience to adapt and experiment with dental marketing strategies if there are sudden economic changes can provide long-term success to your dental practice.
