Develop a marketing plan that works

Quote:
Marketing a private practice is one of the most misunderstood and frustrating areas of practice development.

Mainly because many private practices seldom effectively utilize a calendar of events, post procedures, or has any marketing action plans in place. This is a disaster waiting to happen.

Without a linked sequence of events in any rational manner, you may conclude that marketing your practice is ineffective, perhaps even unnecessary. But today’s modern world no longer tolerates an approach to marketing the practice that is not organized, relevant, and plainly visible to the employees and patients alike. In order to effectively market your practice, you need to develop a marketing plan that works for you.

I have found that the best marketing actually is good old fashion hardwork. It goes without saying; that honesty, integrity and willingness to adapt to change also are key to office success and personal fulfillment.

Oh I agree but when you have cowboys out there with all the bells and whistles, that are attractive, that try to "poach pts" by direct mail, it gets tricky.
Everyone has the right to promote their business but yes I definately think that integrity is the key word.

Exactly. You can market yourself to death, but if what you provide as a service is not all there, then it all counts for nothing.
