Step Outside We had ten doctors and staff attending this week's meeting in my office concerning Holiday Promotions. During discussions, it seemed universal that stepping outside our comfort zones to attract new patients or creating professional and community alliances was difficult at best. To ease the anxiety, remember that this time of year it is easier to stimulate referrals and community interests by tapping into the universality of Peace on Earth and Good Will To Man. We chiropractors offer a unique product, Life and Health, a product that everyone desires but few understand our role. Just a thought, how successful would your office be if just a handful of extra people knew the chiropractic story. How successful would be your internal promotions be if you began simple discussion of chiropractic beyond relief of aches and pains. How successful would be your external marketing if you focused community attention to improved personal performance and wellness as the primary goal of chiropractic. How successful would your bottom line be if income were generated with increased ease with the help of dedicated, satisfied and referring patients? Lots easier. Doctors, take out your pens and pencils and return to the drawing board. Write down two or three action steps ready to be implemented to generate excitement during this holiday season. Oh, oh .. can't think of any. Well, what are you waiting for, let's get going. Contact your local charitable Food Pantry or Food Bank. Guaranteed, every community has one or a local church is helping those needing assistance. Let them know you will be a collection point for non-perishable food, clothes and toys. If you care to incorporate new patients stimulus with this program, offer every patient bringing three items or more a chance to win a grand prize, such as movie tickets and dinner for two or smaller prizes requested by your local merchants willing to participate by offering you some discount or free coupons. If a patient refers a friend for a complimentary consultation or examination provide them more chances to win. It's a true Win-Win for all. How about finding a local Santa, ask at the Mall, and see how much they charge for a two hour Storytime with Santa. Invite your patients to bring their children and grandchildren and alert the local day care centers about this. This is a great way to generate community interest, draw more people across your threshold and collect e-mail addresses for your community e-newsletter list. Take pictures of the kids with Santa and e-mail or send a copy to the parents and grandparents. Why spend money at the Mall when they can come to your office, get a free picture and have some fun time with Santa. Have someone tell the Chanukah and Kwanza story if it applies to your patient base. Another idea is to place a Tree of Life in your office and hang ornaments with the names of referring patients. This is a heartfelt thanks to those that wish to share chiropractic with their friends and family helping their life be all it can be. Do these things from abundance and not desperation and from the heart not from your wallet. We all know the game is to generate interest and hopefully a few new patients but be sure the game plan is to do it with purpose and within the spirit of the season. Don't be afraid to step outside, it's not too bad out there Have a Great Day and a Happy Thanksgiving for all those in the USA Dr. M Postings: Dr. Joel E.
