DC is looking for a used Titron C3000 unit E-mail message this week .. Community Outreach I have been advocating for years using e-mails to reach your patients and community. I recommend you place within your case history form an area for the patientžs e-mail address. Place these addresses within your database and within your internet e-mail address book. Send a welcome e-mail to new patients .. a timely ergonomic/safety e-mail for those that would benefit .. a reminder e-mail for chronic missed appointments as well as your monthly office newsletter to patients and community. There are many professional e-mail programs that will assist you .. many found on my webpage under weblinks .. or you can use your word processing program .. like I am now .. and send them a simple document. Community Outreach includes health fairs .. postural screenings .. topical workshops .. ergonomic programs .. and collective programs for the community. In this regard .. it would be a great idea to introduce your office to local merchants/neighbors and your patients to these folks as well. To accomplish this begin by either visiting or calling local merchants and professionals. The script may go like this .. "This is Melanie from the Family Chiropractic Center in "your city." We send a number of monthly e-mail newsletters to our patients and community and often promote local merchants or professionals for no charge as a community service. If interested .. you can e-mail or send us a short promo as well as your webpage and e-mail address and wežll mention it this month. Also .. we will link your service within our office webpage and include your e-mail address within our office newsletter address book." Play with the idea and words. The concept is sound as it broadens awareness of your office within your community. It also welcomes your office newsletter and community promotions on a timely basis to a new and expanded community list. Be further creative by providing these merchants an opportunity to offer your patients and newsletter recipients a discount of their services and in turn their clients/customers a reduced consultation or examination with you. As your list grows and you expand to professionals ..such as attorneys .. physicians .. health oriented facilities .. sport centers .. schools and more .. you will see your practice and community awareness grow. Before long local newspapers will interview you .. radio stations will be interested in your unique community service and you will be asked to participate in many events. Depending on the size of your town and availability of community outreach outlets .. your office will grow as well. Have a Great Day Dr. M By the way .. make plans to attend the next Fernandez Seminar in Atlanta .. June 8 and 9. The theme for this weekend in Building a Successful Practice with Referrals.
