With more veterinarians transitioning to more digital marketing in their practices and as funnel building becomes more popular in veterinary marketing. It's important to make sure they are effectively built out. In Today's episode, I share how you can build funnels out in a simple and useful way for your veterinary practices digital marketing. A marketing funnel is a direct path you are taking potential clients through a journey and turning them into a client. Having developed steps to have a group of people who are typically microtargeted becoming aware of you and your practice at the beginning and becoming further segmented through the funnel and ultimately driving them to the bottom and coming out customers. Consider for Vet practices you will need to have two types of funnels in place to drive new clients into your practice. 1) Immediate Funnel Your Immediate funnel is your intent based funnel. With intent based searches being your driving force. You have clients and customers that are searching for the services or products you offer. These potential clients have a want, need, or desire for what they are looking for right now. Your services, products, or practice can be the solution for what these clients are needing or wanting. 2) Long term Funnel Your Long term funnel is an audience based funnel. In this funnel, you will target your target market and ideal client avatar. Talk to this audience as if you're talking to your favorite client or a caring loving pet owner that will do only the best for their pet. Give valuable information and quick solutions to problems that may not even be on their radar. Build trust and provide value to this audience and in turn, they will come to you for services.

In today's episode, I share how you can be creating content, offers, and doing other things to keep your practice going. As we continue going through this crazy unprecedented time its important to keep up your content and creating new ways to keep your clients coming in for the care of their pets. Luckily being an essential business means you get to stay open to provide your most needed services. Consider teaming up with local businesses that you can integrate into your practice (ie pet sitters, dog trainers, pet stores that don't offer delivery, etc..) Think of products to provide for your client's items they will need before, during and after vet visits One very important thing to remember is that now is the time to prepare how you will operate when all stores open as normal again. During this time you can create an opportunity and demand for specific products and services to have people come in at a later time. Create offers that will be for future needs. Consider how you can continue to offer special means of services for the foreseeable future and even after for specific groups of people. Having telemedicine, in-home visits, and mobile services being offered right now is extremely important but even after COVID-19, it will still be beneficial to offer these services for high-risk clients of yours. Also, keep in mind how you phrase your content copy. Think about using other words other than essential such as high risk, emergency, and urgent to describe the services you are providing at this time. Avoiding using the word essential will help in the long run to keep pet parents knowing that all parts of preventative medicine are essential to the health of their pets.

Now is the perfect time to start focusing on social selling, with more people on the internet at one time ever in history you have more people looking for information. As we talked about in the last episode it is important now than ever to have your most urgent services laid out for clients that need to come into your practice. Given the current climate of the country, people are inclined to save money and only spend on absolute essentials but are looking to gather and receive as much information as the can. We now need to take this time as an opportunity to increase the amount of content you are creating that your clients want to see and learn from. Clients may not be up to buying right now but you can use your content to send messages to your audience. As you are taking into consideration that your clients may not be in a mindset to buy if it's not a necessity remember to target the urgent services you offer and build awareness of your practice and your content. Using your content to educate your audience will be the best way to social sell to your clients. The more information and solutions they are provided with at this time will help them in the recovery stage turn to you and your practice.
