Your dental practice marketing plan for 2014

Posted by Shawn Russell on Jan 17, 2014 1:20:00 PM

With the start of a new year, it is common to reflect on the previous year and make projections for the upcoming year. Often times we scratch out some goals and objective we would like to accomplish, but that’s where it stops. No attempt to formulate the wishes in to a blue print of road map on how to get there is made. This is where the obtainment of the goals falls short and with a much greater probability of failure.

Effective dental advertising starts with a patient survey

Posted by Shawn Russell on Jul 10, 2013 7:46:00 PM

Nothing can better help your dental advertising than knowing what your patients think about you and your services. But what I find is that most dental practices never ask. They might send a small form after an appointment or occasionally ask patients, but never really find out what their patients like, dislike or what keeps them coming back.
