I invite you to join this forum to post your need to find a DC as an associate or independent contractor .. sell .. purchase .. gather research .. or wish to post your chiropractic product or seminars .. I may need to edit it .. but it¼s free. I read my e-mails .. at least five times daily and reply that day. My webpage: http://www.mindspring.com is updated daily and is a great resource for practice management and chiropractic information. Send me what you feel is useful and I¼ll include it on my page. Also .. list your office for referrals. Posting this week: (will be found at the conclusion of this week¼s message) New Beginnings Seminar in N.J. .. Practice for sale in Riverdale, NY ..

St. Pete area E-mail message this week: Inventory and Newsletters I was cleaning up the other day making room for more office mess when I found some great stuff hidden between here and there. It didn¼t take me long before I found other treasures of past inspiration and deed. Now my decision is to either make use of it or throw it away. I guess it¼s time to take stock and check my inventory. Doctor .. have you collected boxes of material that were used only once? Are there ideas still floating in your head that have never reached beyond a thought? Have you created forms and handouts that were never used as intended? Did you begin promotional programs but never followed through? Now is the perfect time .. prior to this Spring .. to check your inventory and either discard or add to it. Today I¼ll go over newsletters. I just got through writing an article for Today¼s Chiropractor magazine concerning internal practice promotion from nuts to bolts .. if you don¼t want to wait until the March/June issue .. check my webpage (http://www.mindspring.com/~chirosmart) under Practice Tips .. I placed it there as well. One method of patient communication .. I mentioned .. is the patient newsletter. These are usually hard copies sent via snail mail (post office) .. but e-mail newsletters are great as well. Fortunately there are many commercial publishers within the world of chiropractic who print and send their newsletters to your patient base for a fee and often personalize it for you. These are done professionally and look great. But .. if budget restraints or creativity forces you to make your own .. let me give you a primer of newsletter production. Fold in half a blank 8x10 sheet of paper. On these two columns dedicate one for Office News and the other for Chiropractic or Health and Wellness. If you are not as creative as a computer desktop publishing program .. cut and paste pictures that were found in local papers or newsmagazines. For topics and information .. visit my webpage and click on General Newsletters. I placed various chiropractic newsletters that were sent to me and these are dated. Look through these and cut and paste onto your newsletters some of the research and public health issues. For Office News .. let your patients learn about you and your staff .. about your workshops .. community programs etc. This is your opportunity to communicate with them. I would place these on the front desk counter and have your CA give one to each patient .. have a number extra to hand deliver to your community neighbors .. send some to those you wish to reactivate. If you wish to send these on a monthly basis .. get a permit from your local post office .. the stamps are cheaper if 200 or more are sent at a time. I¼ll go over more promotional ideas in upcoming e-mails .. but be sure you collect your patient e-mail addresses as well. Just the other day a Human Resources manager of a major corporation called me after my patient .. his employee .. gave him my Chiropractic E-mail Newsletter where I requested my patients contact their employers about my Ergonomic Workshops .. delicate a staff member to coordinate this program .. train them and let them be part of your success and office growth. You know .. I feel staff is usually underutilized in practice promotion .. usually because they have no idea to implement their own enthusiasm and ideas. One of my favorite seminars is working with staff and office promotion .. we need to go over this in the future as well.
