Where do you want to be?

Do you want to attract more patients?

Gain more profitable patients?

Prep your practice to be sold?

Whatever your dental marketing goals are, write them down. Make sure to make them S.M.A.R.T. (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Realistic, Time-based).

Step 3

Define Your Target Audience

Based on your goals, who do you need to communicate with? Is it your:

dental patient icon

Current patients?

dental patient figures icon

Potential patients?

dental website search on mobile phone

People searching the internet for a new dentist?

Once you define your target audience, you’ll also need to identify the
best method to reach them (e.g. online, social media, email, direct mail).

Step 4

Develop Your Budget

Identify how much time and money
you can devote to developing your dental marketing strategy.

Advertisements, direct mailers, your website, emails, all require content. Once you determine the channels in which you’d like to market your practice, you’ll then need to put pen to paper (or hire a professional).

Step 7

Excute Your Dental Marketing Plan

Once you’ve crossed your T’s and dotted your I’s – get the campaign started! Put the direct mailers in the mail, press “send” on that email promotion, post that signage, and get social!

Step 8

Track and Repeat!

The most important step of all is measuring your dental practice marketing. You want to know if what you’re doing is working – or it’s simply a waste of money.
