Marketing


Are you hoping you would open this page and find the magic bullet to produce tons of new patients forever??? 

There are hot marketing ideas and approaches, that work, in some markets, some of the time, or for a limited time.

Determining when to “get in”, “get out”, “move on”, and add a new approach is key to success with marketing.

What are you going to do when your hot approach wears off, or the competition takes part of your market, or when “the cream” is skimmed off  and the practice slows down? What is your “back up plan”?

Between handling a marketing budget of over 27k per month, for many years, for a single office, and working with numerous clients’ budgets, I can tell you it is the COMPREHENSIVE MARKETING PLAN, not the ad, that is critical.

A marketing plan has six parts. External marketing and Internal marketing are broken into three parts each.

The most successful plans are those where the staff (doctor/P.T. you can usually get the brunt of growing your practice off your plate if you let us work directly with training your staff) is implementing and overseeing a project in each area.

The ones that work well are automated as much as possible and become a “semi- permanent” part of the ongoing clinic procedures, those that do not work well are “tweaked” and if they still do not work, are discarded and replaced with a new approach.

Multiple approaches and “streams” of new patients are what help create consistency and growth.

This also guards against the devastation we see, time and time again, when a practice has a really hot marketing approach, that brings them the majority of their new patients, totally collapse due to a market, reimbursement, research, legal, or regulatory change. (Just recently, look at the law suits relative to disc decompression false advertising [decompression is OK, but not false claims] that shut down folks marketing, the loss of work comp in Texas and California that devastated myopic practices, the over saturation of infomercials in many markets making the “late comers” big financial losers, the “pooled dollar” campaigns that are producing little or no response…and on and on…)

What is your answer?

Let us help construct a customized plan.

At our “members only” section we have descriptions of dozens of low cost/no cost methods of producing new patients- in all six categories.

 As a PSI member you will also have access to a unique way of finding out what other members are doing that is working- this in itself is worth the price of membership…not to mention we are always developing new cutting edge ways to grow your practice.

 Sitting alone in your own practice, like the LONE RANGER, only puts you in an environment where you do not know what you do not know.
