Marketing using any campaign such as poster printing or brochure printing is indeed promising if you want to succeed in your line of business. Nevertheless, your poster printing for example can only be effective with the right mailing list.

Without the right recipients of your message, you will always end up with lackluster results that only waste your time, effort and resources, not to mention those of your audience as well.

Sending your marketing message to the wrong audience is just a waste of your time and resources. Why would you waste your effort on marketing pieces such as your print posters if your audience is not interested or does not have a need for your offer? You will just end up with depressing results that will only keep you frustrated all the time.

On the other hand, bringing your marketing collaterals to the right audience can mean great things for your business. Great things result to an increase in profits. Being able to reach out to the market that will actually take you up on your offer can open opportunities for you to make a sale every time.

Thus, knowing and understanding your target market should be the first order of the day when marketing your business. If you want to be successful, just ask any poster printer. He will surely tell you that you need to know your market full well before you can even begin creating the most effective marketing campaign that will have good results.

Determining the right target audience for your marketing efforts comes from the right mailing list. In addition to a reputable poster printer, a reliable and professional list broker can provide you with one if you still do not have your own mailing list. As you would be purchasing the said list, be sure that you are talking to a trusted broker so you can have the most effective mailing list for your specific needs.

Another option is to start building your own mailing list. This is especially easy if you have your own website. You can offer freebies and discounts, or even newsletters in exchange for their mailing address. Just remember that people who are interested in what you have to offer will not mind giving their information especially if they know they can benefit from your business.

By starting with the right mailing list, you are most likely to gain the results you expect from your marketing efforts.

So do you know your target market? In addition, how well do you know them?

Cosmetic Practice Marketing: 3 Common Mistakes

Admin — Wed, 07 Oct 2009 23:29:13 +0000

Mistake #1: Not Knowing Who’s Really On Your Team The team you surround yourself with can make or break your aesthetic practice – period. Getting the right team players on board is difficult and ever-changing but vital to your success. So, do you have the right team in place? And, do they know their main job is to promote you and your services and that starts with impeccable customer service? Is your staff helping or hurting your practice? In my travels as an aesthetic marketing consultant, I’ve seen staff be charming to the doctor and witchy to everyone else. I’ve heard patient care coordinators refer the patient to the competitor because she thought they did a better job with that procedure. My staff and I have done mystery shopping where the receptionist sent the patients to the internet to buy products since they were cheaper than those sold in their office. It’s imperative every staff person who works for you knows exactly what is expected of them. So, I ask again, do you know you have the right team in place? If you’re not sure, here’s one thing you can do to find out… Hold a friendly staff referral contest. Keep it short and simple. Give your staff refer-a-friend cards with their name on them so you can track their efforts. Use business-size cards since they are inexpensive to print and your staff can conveniently carry them with them during their daily lives. Now for the next 30 days, they should refer their family, friends, hair salon stylist, gym buddies, club members, etc. Whoever has the most referrals come in for an appointment within the 30 days wins the grand prize which should have been on display in the lunchroom the entire month to keep them motivated. You want to make this a great prize such as an iPod, flat screen TV or whatever. But here’s the point. You’ll find out whom your team players are and if you have staff that didn’t bother to participate; I suggest you find new staff. Mistake #2: Only Working IN Your Practice and Not ON Your Practice In today’s New Emerging Economy, it’s more important than ever to get the fundamentals right. That means setting up predictable systems to convert more procedures, collect more testimonials and increase word-of-mouth referrals. Just like in sports, it’s getting good at the fundamentals that wins the game – not the one fancy move – isn’t that right? So please meet with your staff regularly to hone their skills and your processes for that constant, never-ending improvement in each area. Mistake #3: No Plan in Place Annual Marketing Plan You have protocols set up for everything else in your practice so do one more for the process of promoting your aesthetic services because… The top aesthetic physicians realize it’s not one email. It’s not one newsletter. It’s not one event. The secret is to regularly keep your name in front of your cosmetic patients so they choose you over all the others when they are ready for aesthetic enhancement. Because circumstances change, life changes, people change so that means those who said NO before were really saying NOT YET OR NOT NOW so when they are ready, they’re going to the physician they are most likely familiar with and hopefully that’s because you’ve stayed in touch.
