Marketing a Cosmetic and Reconstructive Surgery Practice
The key to success in marketing a cosmetic and reconstructive surgery practice is to combine time-tested marketing techniques with the most cutting edge strategies in today's marketplace.
Still looking for a way to effectively market your cosmetic and reconstructive surgery practice? Although there is no single way that's right to market in this industry, there are a lot of wrong ways.
Purpose in marketing is the key to success in this space. High-performing cosmetic and reconstructive surgery practices leave no stone unturned when it comes to marketing strategy. Although you'll need to consider your company's unique marketing objectives, there are several tips we advise our partners to integrate into their promotional plans and strategies.
Bundling
Messaging matters - but only to the degree that it communicates value to cost-conscious consumers. Businesses that bundle products tap into the market's psyche by creating the perception (real or imagined) of cost-savings. If you have never bundled before, take out word for it - most cosmetic and reconstructive surgery practices have the ability to bundle multiple products and services into a single offering that customers find appealing. Often, bundling is used to offload excess inventory or to pair a low profit product with one that has a higher markup.
Managing Negative Publicity
Negative publicity is never easy to deal with, especially for cosmetic and reconstructive surgery practices. The worst way to handle negative buzz is to put off developing a response until reporters are pounding on your door, demanding a comment from a company spokesperson. PR savvy cosmetic and reconstructive surgery practices work with consultants to develop a crisis response plan that can be executed on a moment's notice. Mailing list providers can also provide quick access to accurate mailing lists, an important consideration if your crisis response plan contains a direct mail component.
Make Sure You Have a Good Business Sign
A great sign is a 24/7 marketing tool for your company. Even though cosmetic and reconstructive surgery practices are very different from each other, signage can be used by any cosmetic and reconstructive surgery practice to communicate the company's value to their customers. Visibility, branding elements and other considerations are all factors in the design and size of your operation's business signage.
Given the fact that signage in cosmetic and reconstructive surgery practices is unlike the signage for other types of businesses, you'll want to make sure to adhere to industry norms as well as local zoning requirements. %The role of a business sign should not be underestimated. It can have a subtle impact on customer perceptions, but sometimes that little difference can be exactly what's needed to turn a prospect into a customer.
