Video Email Marketing for your Chiropractor’s Office
Welcome to the technology corner for this month. In a recent issue we addressed the relevance of email and especially video email marketing. In this article we want to expand on that idea and give you advice on how to generate your master email lead list.
We all read monthly or weekly email advertisements from popular retailers advertising product specials ranging from computers to furniture and even airline flights. These are organizations that spend millions in print media and TV advertising. Now these companies have become leaders in email advertising. If we simply look what these companies are doing and why they are doing it we can make a “chiropractic recipe for success” in email marketing and lead generation.
Simply stated, email is the most affordable form of marketing today. Businesses are now shifting marketing campaign money and expending energy developing their prospecting email lists. Have you ever noticed that some sellers will ask for your postal code and email address every time you purchase something? Especially when you make an online order, an email address is mandatory. Organizations are able to generate a sizable email database from what we call warm leads. These are clients that are already using their products or services or have enquired about their products. Some organizations buy email lists but they would be classified as cold leads. Why would you want to buy a list and advertise health products or services to someone that isn’t and may never be health conscious?
There are rules and regulations related to buying an emailing lists. Do your homework before you spend your hard earned cash on cold leads. As chiropractors, we have so many avenues to collect warm leads to create an email wave in your community. Only a handful of chiropractors are doing it so be the first in your community to master the internet via email. Let me tell you about some of these gems that so few chiropractors are tapping into.
In order to build a chiropractic community awareness and promote their practice, a good number of chiropractors do outside talks or outreach events. You should be gaining crucial email addresses at all of these events. For example, if you do a screening, the potential new client is interested enough in your service to stop and take part in the screening. Many times we are disappointed that they didn’t accept your offer for a discounted examination. What you do with that name will make all the difference in the world. Most chiropractors at best will send them a letter or a newsletter. If they weren’t interested then what makes you think they’re going to respond to a letter in the next two weeks? In order to keep that lead viable you need to stay in constant contact with them every single month until they do one of two things; sign up or ask you to stop sending them information.
The key is sending them suitable information that is communicated with cutting edge technology sent right to their home. We live in a world that is spending most of their leisure time watching TV, movies and surfing the internet and email. If you don’t have a big advertising budget you need to communicate with them via email. A successful video email campaign will not only keep you in front of your warm leads it will help you change them into new patients.
If you’re interested in a product but not ready to purchase it could take months before you decide to make that decision and buy that item. The same concept applies to healthcare especially if they are in tune with crisis care. Potential patients might understand the whole concept of wellness as of yet, and until they have a crisis they might not be ready to use your chiropractic services. What happens if you lose contact with that warm lead and they have a health problem and decide to try chiropractic eight month or a year down the road? They might come to see you but your chances increase exponentially if you have been in contact with them over the previous months.
Collecting emails at screenings, corporate talks and outside events is a fantastic way to grow your database of warm leads, but what if your practice style is driven mostly by internal marketing? Let them know you’re beginning a new patient education initiative that involves email and they are going to be sent top class cutting edge videos on the chiropractic lifestyle that arrive in their inbox. If you communicate the importance of helping you forward these emails to friends and family you create a viral component to your email which is another topic in itself.
Another great way to get hundreds of emails is to simply ask you patients for emails. Start a huge buzz over a draw you’re going to have. The more email names they provide the more times their name is entered into the draw to win a fantastic prize. Imagine how many emails you’re going to gain by simply having a draw in your clinic. You can take it one step further and have your patients email their friends info introducing your new video email plan. What a way to reach out into your community to spread the word about the chiropractic lifestyle and what an even better way to convert those leads to new patients.
