As a dental marketing consultant, I hold dental marketing seminars that would teach dentists on how to market Invisalign in their profession. Invisalign is a solution offered to patients who want to achieve a whiter, stronger teeth. But in dental profession, there is always a challenge on how to market our solutions to our patients... and marketing Invisalign would bear the same challenge for dentists. In my dental marketing seminars, I always tell my audience that marketing Invisalign successfully in their practice is achievable through two ways: first is have a staff that's well-trained to handle patients, and second is hold an Invisalign open house. In my dental marketing seminars, I define these two ways in detail so that my audience will have a clearer view on the subject matter.

First Is Through Your Staff....

In my dental marketing seminars, I always tell the dentists that they should always have a staff that's well-educated and well-trained to handle each patients concern. Also, always remember that dental teamwork is very important. So how do you do it? In our case, we ask our patients what we call our “magic question”: “On a scale of 1 to 10, how would you rate your smile?”. With this question we can have an inkling of how much the patient would like to go for the solution. Then after they give us their respective answers, we would then ask them: “What would make it a 10?”. And this is where teamwork comes in. As a dental team, we listen to their various answers. We take down notes so that we can effectively give back and sell the treatment to our patients. Then also we remind the patients of the benefits of the solution. We tell them that it's invisible, it's removable, and gives much confidence to patients. Stating this advantages would be very helpful in selling the treatment as well.

Second Is Through Holding An Invisalign Open House....

In my dental marketing seminars, I also tell the dentists that they should conduct an Invisalign Open House. I remind them to keep two things in mind when doing such an open house, and these are, first, market your Invisalign day appropriately, and second, have two schedules for the event.

On Marketing Your Invisalign Day Appropriately....

The big mistake that a lot of people do is that they decide to do the open house, but they send out a mailer to their existing patients, and they get 1 to 3 phone calls. You should be expecting this, because if your going to do an entire open house,and you have an opportunity to make $5000 a case or say $15,000 net per case, you need to throw more money at it. And you need to have your staff get people to come to it. So, this is what you should do. You have to start planning the promotions of it 4 or 5 weeks minimum in dvanced, so as to get 2 to 3 direct mail pieces to your existing and inactive patient base in that time (so once a week for the first three weeks to promote it). If in case you want to use e-mails, you should definitely go and just send out e-mails. If you want to go through phone numbers, either you're going to do two things: you can physically call everybody; or just do a voice broadcast, which will go out to every single home and it will share with people the details and where to call.

On Having Two Schedules For The Event....

The reasons behind having two schedules for the event are two things: first, you can use the same marketing dollar to promote both events; and second, some people who can't make it on a given schedule, say Wednesday night, will be able to make it on a Saturday schedule between 10:00 to 1:00, so the endpoint here is that you will enable them to have a dual option for the people, and let them choose more dentistry as well.

So these are the strategies that I teach the dentists in marketing the Invisalign solution in the dental marketing seminars that I hold. I also remind them that if they're going to have a lot of Invisalign patients, they will refer more than traditional patients will, and also choose more cosmetic dentistry in your practice!

I have a cousin who detests revealing clothing on people and often remarks, “If you have a good figure, people will notice without having to wear that.” You might think your trade show product is also that noticeable on its own, but with so much competition, you need to dress it up a bit to get noticed. A quality trade show vinyl banner does the trick while looking both attractive and professional. And while your trade show vinyl banner doesn’t have to be as revealing as an inappropriate outfit, it does reveal the best in what you have to offer with your product.
By now you’ve probably read one or more of the jillion articles being published on the subject of how and why you should market in a recession. But, let’s face it. Marketing in a recession is not right for all companies. Recessions scare a lot of people into reducing their marketing efforts, but for many companies recessions are a great opportunity to expand. Read this article to learn if yours is one of those companies.
The news stations continue to report a decline in consumer spending. With job losses up, the housing market down and Wall Street on a roller coaster ride, it’s no surprise that consumers have a tight grip on their wallets. While people are still spending, businesses and consumers alike are looking for the best bargains they can find. Surprisingly, that big bargain might just come in a very small package: lapel pins.
It is only normal for people to feel tired about what they see around them. And the solution that they easily come up with is to redecorate and change how things look so that they will feel good about what they are seeing. This is also true with business cards. This handy tool must be redesigned from time to time. This way, the owner will feel proud about the look of the card as they pass it around for whatever purposes it may serve.
Like all segments of the U.S. residential building materials market, production of rigid PVC fence and decking products is down from last year’s level. But they have not declined nearly as much as other PVC building products, such as pipe, siding, and window profiles.
My guess is that when you first sat down before your company opened up you spent a lot of time figuring out who you were going to appeal to. These were the customers you thought you would have the best chance at attracting. Those first few marketing campaigns were completely focused around this group of people. When you got postcard printing done you did it with them in mind and when you put up posters you were always considering the best locations to reach your core base of customers.
Promotional products are still one of the most effective marketing and communication tools a company can make use of. As they remain the most efficient and entertaining way to express clients our gratitude and reinforce relations between our employees, promotional products have come a long way and do not longer constitute ordinary branded pencils or stickers with the company logo.
