Dr.Abeckjerr Marketing Ideas HOW DO YOU MANAGE A MARKETING PERSON IN YOUR OFFICE: New doctors or doctors with a limiting budget may want to start the marketing by themselves at first. If you understand how marketing works you can teach anyone to do marketing soon after. But after a while it becomes difficult because it is a full time job that occupies time during business hours and very often during the week end . Hiring someone makes perfect sense. The expense is worth the return. If you spend 500.00 dollars per week and your return is 10,000 dollars per week , it's a no brainer. A marketer must understand your product . He must be well educated on chiropractic. You must spend time educating that person. At first you have to give him or her directions as to what to do. There are so many ways you can market your office. 1/ contact professionals near your office such as MD's , Dentists, Massage therapist, Acupuncturists . 2/ Marketing businesses ,organizations and churches near your office can be very profitable. In your office your marketing person can sit down with patients and ask them to help him get you in their business for talks , workshop on different topics or healthfairs , or their place of worship or the organization they belong to. For our office the one that has been the most successful has been the churches our patients belong to. We have generated a tremendous amount of Health Fairs and workshops which has brought I hundreds or thousands of new patients. 3/ An other way to contact the churches is to contact a company called infousa.com and get a mailing list from them for a minimal fee they will provide you with a mailing of all churches within a certain mile radius from your office .Either 5 or 10 miles . My office has 400 churches in a 5 mile radius and 800 churches in a 10 mile radius from my office. I devised a letter offering my services for workshops, series of talks and healthfair. We got a tremendous response from those letters , if you follow up with a phone call, you will do even better.
