How Can I Improve Our Marketing
Marketing a Podiatry Clinic
At Gaebler, we've seen what great marketing can do for a small business. But if you own a podiatry clinic, exceptional marketing may well be the determining factor in your long-term survival and success.
We recognize that the best podiatry clinic leaders tend to possess solid marketing skills. But what does it take to become a skilled marketer in this market sector?
By applying a few common sense tips and marketing fundamentals, you can avoid the pitfalls and set your company on the path to marketing success.
Company Website
If you haven't done so already, the first step in marketing your podiatry clinic is also the anchor point for your technological strategy: A company website. Although many businesses have a website, a poorly designed and unnavigable website is worse than having no web presence at all. Your site is a representation of your business; it needs to convey the same professional appearance and functionality as you expect from any other sales and marketing asset. But you will also need to consider how you will attract visitors to your site and what you will do with them once they are there -- and that means you'll need to include SEO and conversion path considerations in the web design process.
Improving Customer Loyalty
Customer loyalty provides the backbone for business growth. In growth-minded podiatry clinics, sorted and updated mailing lists obtained from top-tier providers are effective tools for customer acquisition. To encourage customer loyalty, you'll need to tap into deliberate mechanisms that incentivize customers to reward your brand with repeat business. In many cases, online channels can be leveraged to create innovative customer loyalty programs.
Hiring A Marketing Firm
Many podiatry clinic operations turn to marketing firms for guidance. Unless you have a marketing background, you won't be able to touch the ROI you'll receive from a professional firm. Does a marketing firm cost money? Sure, but not as much as you may think. When it's time to look for a marketing firm to represent your podiatry clinic, experience should trump other considerations. Marketing firms that lack industry experience are sometimes unfamiliar with competitive marketing channels and may not understand the value propositions that dominate industry messaging.
