subject: New Dental Marketing Ideas: Creating a Gameplan [print this page] Author: Ed OKeefe Author: Ed OKeefe
To become successful in the business of dental marketing, new dental marketing ideas are being developed. One of these new dental marketing ideas is developing and creating a "gameplan". Now, what do I mean by this? Well, it refers to developing a gameplan that would help you in doubling new patients in your own dental marketing business. Take note: the more new patients that you have, the more chances of success there will be for you in your business. As one of the new ideas in dental marketing, this is one way to help you to be on top of the dental marketing business.
Being on of the new dental marketing ideas, how do you develop this? You should set for goals in order to do this. These goals are for: (1) the number of new patients you want; (2) the type of patients you want to have; (3) the number of referrals you want to make; and (4) the expected worth of each of your patient.
#1: The Number Of New Patients You Want:
In dental marketing, having goals and ideas on the number of new patients that you would like to have can be very helpful. Set the number of new patients that you would want to have, for example, in a month. Having this number in mind helps you target a specific number of patients at a fixed rate in a month (let's say 3 patients in a month). Then in time you will be able to add more new patients to those fixed number of patients ( let's say from 3 patients, you will be able to increase them to 4 or 5 patients in a month).
#2: The Type of Patients You Want To Have:
Choosing the type of patients that you want to attract can also be very helpful in your dental marketing business. These new patients could be from different kinds of status and professions (like lawyers, accountants, engineers, etc.). Having this ideas in mind would help you in setting up the income that you would like to earn in a month; for example, as to how much you would charge for this type of patient who is from a certain kind of profession.
#3: The Number of Referrals You Want To Make:
As you satisfy your new patients with your services, chances are the number of patients that you have set for in a month will increase... and this is through their referrals. These referrals are the patient's friends, relatives, etc. Your patient would tell themselves, Hey, I'm very satisfied with the services that my dentist is giving me... so I would definitely introduce them to my family and friends! With these ideas, you will surely be able to gain more success in your dental marketing business!
#4: The Expected Worth of Each Your Patient:
Now, you set the expected price for each new patient and have ideas on how much you would charge for your services to them ( this is what we call the lifetime value of each of your new patient). Let's say for your patient who is an accountant you would charge $900, for your patient who is a lawyer you would charge $950, etc. This kind of planning in dental marketing can help you set how much income you would have within a month, and also within a year.
