Today, establishing a successful podiatry campaign requires a certain amount of advertising and marketing. Excellent marketing is a comprehensive, sometimes complex, approach that will allow your patients to conclude that you are the best option to solve their foot care problems. Professional advertisers will provide you with a complete marketing service based on your needs and requirements of your practice.
Below we discuss some techniques for successful Podiatry marketing:
Classic advertising still makes sense
Advertising materials for foot care
You should not underestimate the effect of classic advertising materials such as flyers and posters. Straight flyers can be distributed anywhere and used again and again for promotions. Other methods such as coupon cards and flyers with discounts or promotions can make your business more well known and generate more patients.
Of course, this should not be your main method of advertising. This is a tactic that can accentuate your main method of digital marketing.
Posters in your shop complete the picture
Flyers and posters for your foot care shop
Flyers are absolutely practical when it comes to raising the profile of your practice. You can distribute them almost everywhere. Local events are a great place to raise your profile in the community.
Talking to people about their everyday concerns is an important part of your market research. You can analyze conversations so people learn more about your work while you listen to their needs as a patient. Awaken her curiosity and the desire to have her feet cared for. Many people may not know what exactly your offer as a podiatrist and can learn more about it through the conversation.
Discounts and vouchers as customer magnets
Customer loyalty
Who does not love to save money or get a bargain? Your customers will also be happy if they can save a few dollars and take advantage of an opportunity. You can organize discount promotions in different ways. On the one hand you can distribute leaflets with a discount code, for example 20% on one treatment, as an introductory offer. People who are not yet your patients could be lured into your practice. You can also use discounts to tie your patients to you. Your clientele will be happy if they receive a greeting with a discount code for their birthday. Christmas is another way to offer such a discount to your customers.
Another promotion is to distribute so-called discount cards. This is used by many other stores, such as coffee shops. Often the customer gets a drink for the 10th purchase for free. Every time the customer has had a foot treatment with you, you can stamp the card. If the card is full, he or she will be rewarded for loyalty. Instead of a treatment, you can give away products like a foot care cream.
Granted, many of these ideas are outside-the-box thinking and may not apply to your practice. But the purpose of this article is to get you to expand your thought process on how to market your business. If any of these ideas help you come up with some other idea, then we’ve succeeded.
Make a slogan for your Podiatry practice
The power of the word – sayings and slogans as an advertising tool
There is no better communication tool than words. They arouse emotions and address people directly. You can use a matching slogan for your store for your advertising and, for example, print it on flyers under the name of your shop. There are no limits to creativity here. A slogan should not be too long or incomprehensible. It’s best to spend some time writing down all the ideas that come to mind.
The Internet and the online marketing of your Podiatry products
Maximize your opportunities through the Internet
Most people use the internet every day. They inform themselves and exchange ideas. As more and more people become more mobile, you should also use the Internet for promotional purposes. There are numerous ways to present your work and business online and reach potential customers.
Social Media Marketing
Facebook is the largest social media platform in the world. It not only serves to exchange interactions among individual users, but is also ideal for promotional purposes. You can market yourself through a fan page or a business page. You can also advertise on Facebook and accurately determine your target audience. If you set up your ads on Facebook, you can filter potential leads by age, location, interests, etc. . This way, only the right people will see your ads.
You can also use your Facebook page to get in touch with your “fans.” You can tell them about discount promotions, recent news, or share everyday posts on your practice. Interesting items for your audience could also include posts about foot care and information about products. If time permits, you can offer to answer questions around Podiatry topics. Your fans have added value which may be reflected later by their customer loyalty.
Your Practice’s Website
Regardless of Facebook, you need a website to be relevant in today’s market. Here you can put all the important information about you and introduce your practice. The customer can thus gain a first impression before visiting your business. In addition, you can blog about your work and share exciting information. On Facebook you can include a link to your articles.
E-newsletter
Since just about every person has an email address, you can send newsletters to market your business. Here you can inform subscribers about news report on offers and provide timely information.
Put people in your practice!
Events and special offers
If you have your own practice, you can use the space for events. Small events or a special service set you apart from other podiatrists and are a good promotional tool for your practice.
Pass on your knowledge
Many people come to you so their feet stay well-kept and healthy. You have a lot of knowledge about foot care that your customers do not. So why not open your shop outside opening hours for a small information event? In a relaxed atmosphere, you can give small speeches or present new products. To win participants for such events, you can distribute flyers in your store, use your website or create an event on Facebook.
Mobile Podiatry care
Most people are best relaxed at home. In addition, there are some people who are not so mobile to come to your practice. You can offer these customers a special service, namely, that you come to the customer. Mobile foot care is the keyword here. You could keep one day a week off for such appointments – your customers will be thrilled.
