Importance of New Patients
New patients are crucial for the success and growth of a dental practice. Without a consistent flow of new patients, it becomes difficult to reach your goals and expand.
Effective Marketing Strategies
Facebook and Instagram ads, offering a free teeth whitening, and a $98 new patient special have been the most successful marketing strategies discussed in the podcast. These methods have resulted in a high number of new patients at a reasonable cost per acquisition.
Procedure-Specific Advertising
Tailoring marketing efforts towards specific procedures like implants and Invisalign has proven to be effective. While Google ads can be more costly, they can still attract high-value patients.
Leveraging Ground Marketing
Ground marketing events, like participating in local 5K races, have been successful in building brand recognition and attracting new patients. Providing an engaging booth with giveaways, raffles, and interactive elements can help generate interest.
Effective Internal Marketing
Internal marketing, including referral programs and patient appreciation initiatives, can be powerful in attracting new patients. By providing exceptional patient experiences, encouraging referrals, and offering rewards, practices can increase patient loyalty and generate word-of-mouth referrals.
