Have you formed your marketing map for this year yet?
Here are my advice regarding the marketing tactics you should be focusing on for 2011.
1. At long last Perform Internet Marketing Right.
Chiropractic internet marketing is the strangest thing. It's the one strategy everyone knows they must be conducting, as its getting bigger and bigger every day. It's also one of the lowest forms of marketing you can execute for your business.
Although here's the strange aspect: most chiropractors are dragging their feet on conducting anything. I've seen people spend hours "marketing" on Facebook and Twitter, while their website can hardly be found on Google. Every day you hang on to carry out it right, somebody else comes along in your place and discovers it out. Being ranked #1 on Google is similar to being king of mountain, and the extended a opponent stays king of the hill the more difficult it is to knock them off.
#2. Ignore the 'Death of Newspapers' Mantra
When I stated my first newspaper ad for my business, somebody informed me it was meaningless as newspaper didn't function well any more. The ad handed in 17 decompression patients at the cost of $800. In 2009 my Ultimate Chiropractic Ads brought in a conservative estimate of $20 million dollars for chiropractors in the U.S. (I haven't estimated 2010 yet, but it has to be roughly 5 times that based on the numbers of doctors who purchased them.)
Here's the heart of the issue
Pay no attention to the dim prognosis and emphasize on your practice now. Will newspapers evaporate? Probably they will someday.
Who knows. But the question you require ask yourself is this: "Is there a newspaper in my town?" Assuming the reply is yes, you ought to be advertising there. When there no longer a newspaper in your place, then you can go in with the doomsters and assert that newspapers are lifeless. Until then, use them for all they're worth.
#3. Get Involved in Local Businesses
This year, making up engagements in local businesses will deliver you numerous more new patients. While this scheme has been around for several years, the identical aged tricks don't function well presently. Fresh approaches have been shown to train and schedule new patient appointments from these gatherings. One technique that is working very well is using the Teacher Appreciation Program to check teachers in local schools. Suppose you have a massage therapist on staff, they will be very beneficial in making connections with local businesses.
Where would you proceed?
The list is never-ending. Schools, malls, gyms, banks, Costco and even Walmart. (Yes,Walmart is probable. Many of these places, like Costco, will have some sort of community health gig already planned each year.
Use this list to and check off what you need to execute.Get out a calendar and pencil in dates that ads will run, changes to be made, etc. Let's create 2011 your best year yet.
