Email Marketing


Email as part of your medical marketing strategy is a great way to retarget patients or reach new patients that have expressed interest in a particular procedure or treatment. Previously, telemarketing was the way to reach patients but emails have since replaced that system and email marketing helps to create a base of dedicated subscribers.

Utilize email marketing to create touchpoints with your practice website visitors and share new promotions, specials, blog posts, and the latest practice news. Grow your practice patient email list by encouraging website visitors to sign up for a newsletter.

A newsletter will help you share monthly content about your medical practice and keep your practice top of the mind of patients. Another powerful way to leverage email as part of your medical marketing strategy is by creating nurture sequences for your lead-generation campaigns.

Loyalty Marketing


A patient loyalty program is a marketing strategy that rewards patients for their commitment and ongoing engagement with your medical practice.


Although the primary goal of a patient loyalty program is to increase patient retention by providing your existing patients with rewards (for example, discounts and special offers), it can also help you attract new patients to your medical practice.

That said, having a patient loyalty program in place doesn’t simply mean you’re offering your healthcare services at a discounted price.

When implemented correctly, a patient loyalty program can give you important information about your patients and services, such as the type of service that appeals the most to a specific group of patients.

Community Management


As your audience grows, it’s important to build and maintain a brand's audience, both online and offline.

Businesses build communities — or implement community management tactics at their companies — to build authentic relationships among their external audience (their customers, fans, and followers) and their internal audience (employees, vendors, partners, and team members).

When Health care businesses invest in community management, they transition from an everyday brand to a human one that cares deeply about the people who support them, work for them and interact with them. They are able to make their audience relate with them more, creating more engagement and more leads.

Thought Leadership

Starting a blog to share tips, advice, and helpful information is a great way to build credibility and showcase your knowledge and expertise.

Putting out relevant content on your website regularly can also improve its ranking on Google as it’ll help the search engine better understand what your website is about and whom to show it to, and when.

You can use the questions your patients frequently ask you as the starting point to brainstorm blog topics. You can also create articles around the treatments you offer, your procedures, typical medical issues, injury prevention tips, industry news or trends, or innovations in the field. Create informative blogs that position you as an expert while keeping in mind your patients and the kind of content they’d want to see. Showcasing to your patients that you have in-depth knowledge about their condition and the service you are offering to them goes a long way to help retain patients and even get new ones.
