The biggest new update to facebook ads was the addition of Conversion Budget Optimization. What Conversion Budget Optimization does is it will automatically spend your ad set to optimize for specific conversion events based on the performance of the ads you are running. Conversion budget optimization can only run with a conversion event so be sure if you are using conversion budget optimization that you have conversion pixels installed. Conversion budget optimization campaigns are now becoming the default and have been toggled on automatically. if you would like to run your campaigns without Conversion budget optimization be sure to run at least one ad campaign without CBO to opt-out of Conversion budget optimization becoming your permanent default come February 2020.

In Todays Inbetweenisode I talk about email marketing and what is the best amount of emails to send and if you are sending your email lists too many or not enough.

In Todays Episode I cover how to use ultra segmented targeted list inside your veterinary practice to help grow your business through very pinpointed targeted marketing. I also talk about how using these segmented lists can actually be very helpful to increase conversion and in turn, increase your revenue in your veterinary practice. Keeping track and tracking clients and people coming into your practice and have been presented or offered a specific procedure, service, exam, or product but have not taken you up on your offer can be extremely useful data to input into your retargeting lists. Figure out what you can do to help improve client conversion and compliance. Using special offers that call to clients that have been offered this before in every possible medium whether it be direct mail, email marketing, telemarketing or even text message marketing can increase your conversion rates. Think of this method as the cart abandoned method remind your clients about offers and services they were interested in but didn't act on and show them their offer just for them. Custom and personalized ways to let your clients know about such offers will have better conversion rates such as handwritten letters or even personalized video messages that are sent directly to clients using an app called Bonjoro. Having automated segmented emails is also very effective. Two things to help you with your segmented marketing: 1) If you can create an offer that is laser targeted to your specific client and take it one step further and personalized you can increase client compliancy  2) Having your lists (email, phone, and mailing) segmented so you know exactly who you are communicating with and what you are communicating about, and how to create them a specific offer.   Be sure to listen and let me know if you have any questions, comments or need help with anything!

If you are doing content creation by yourself in your practices digital marketing you probably aren't sure what exactly you should be promoting or marketing to your clients to get them into your practice. In today's episode, I talk about how to really identify the aspects of your business and which offers you should be focusing on to try and drive new clients to your veterinary practice. When creating content for your veterinary practice you are going to want to create and have content about topics that relevant to what people in the industry are talking about or what clients and customers are concerned or curious about. Create content about hot topics at the moment that gives your clients information about topics that are important to them. Now, what should you be creating content around? what kind of offers should you be promoting? and how do you monetize your content? You ultimately want to create content that lets you attract and engage with clients so you can create ROI through your content. Your content needs to built and centered around a specific offer so you can retarget people that are specifically interested in that topic and offer. Ask yourself how can you develop something different to separate yourself from other veterinary practices in the crowd or even pet stores or online stores and how you can make your offer more effective? think about what makes your practice different from everyone else and what sets you apart. Using your knowledge and share that with your clients. Also, package your offers in a way that is extremely valuable to your customers. Outline what they get why they need it, and how it will improve or provide value to their lives   Be sure to listen and let me know if you have any questions, comments or need help with anything!
