• Imagine this! A patient walks up your clinic and your staff behaves abruptly. He’s not allowed to meet you simply because he asked too many questions. What would be his reaction?

Train your staff to generous with patients. Ask them to clear their doubts in a polite way. This will have a positive effect on the patient’s mind.

• Share your expertise with patients. Write articles or blogs concerning your area either in local newspapers or on the internet. This is a sure shot way to increase exposure and build your practice. Provide relevant information on healthcare tips, various diseases and treatment in your articles. Whole idea behind this exercise is to educate as many ‘would-be’ patients.

• There’s a famous quote, “Easier said than done.” Medical marketing is a tough nut to crack and sometimes it takes a toll on mind and body. To get out of this predicament, hire professionals in medical marketing. They have a clear idea of clients’ expectations. They will advise you only those strategies, which will move your practice in the forward direction.

• Build an online presence. Believe me; in the current competitive world, it is a must. Start with creating a website. Mention all the necessary information like practice’s name, address, operational hours, emergency attending (if you provide any), services and so on. While writing the content, focus on certain keywords that are commonly used by patients to find your practice.

Marketing is not a onetime effort. You have to review the results as you go along. For best results, change your approach every now and then.
