Tips for Marketing Your Medical Practice

In a world where people have so many choices for their medical care, it’s important for practitioners to create effective marketing tools. Some marketing approaches are more suitable for online audiences, and others are more effective for targeting local people. The object is to reach potential patients for your medical practice. To cast your net wide enough and catch new patients throughout the year, try these 5 marketing recommendations in your medical practice:

1. Create a blog that provides readers with updates about your practice, including new practice locations, technologies, treatments, and pricing plans. You can also use the blog to introduce new employees in the office.

2. Use your website and blog to show how your practice interacts within your medical specialty and within the greater community. For example, an oncology doctor might have a team that participates in Relay for Life or a Susan G. Komen event. Patients and prospective patients may enjoy special video clips and photographs from these kinds of events and causes.

3. Purchase uniform scrubs with your company logo for all of your staff to wear and have them laundered by a medical laundry service. If everyone dresses in the same manner, you get free marketing wherever your employees go before and after working in your office.

4. Provide new patients with a folder, a binder, or a compact disc that includes comprehensive information about your services. While some patients prefer to consume every kind of information online, other patients prefer reading materials in printed form. Any marketing materials you provide can be shared with potential patients seeking a basic understanding of the kinds of treatment you offer.

5. Purchase online ads that are specifically targeted to people who live in your geographic area. For example, you might subscribe to sponsored ads that run on popular websites, including the local newspaper and TV news websites.

Regardless of your medical specialty, you will need to retain reliable services and maintain a clean environment for patients. That will be important for keeping your actual operations consistent with your marketing claims. A drain clog or another problem with the water supply or cleaning appliances may encourage you to think twice about doing medical laundry on site.

We want to serve as your medical laundry provider so that you can avoid a drain clog. Let us talk about your marketing plan and help your practice to attract and retain new patients on a regular basis. Without patients, your practice won’t exist for very long. A typical practice is always losing patients who move away, who no longer require treatment, who lose their insurance, who pass away, and who choose another physician. Patients will also go where they can build relationships and get competitive prices. Your practice must appeal to diverse client bases to stay afloat.
