Creating a dental newsletter is a leading dental advertising technique, not only because it keeps the practice’s name regularly in front of current patients, but because a newsletter can increase referrals, increase brand awareness, create stronger practice/patient relationships, improve patient satisfaction and loyalty, and improve lifetime-value of clients. Read on to learn the top ten tips for creating your own dental advertising newsletter.

1. Do Your Research

A big blunder many people make is to just dive into making the dental advertising newsletter. It’s important to do your research – what kind of patients do you have? What is their main demographic? Who is the main decision maker in most households? You can also study newsletters from other dental practices and companies to get ideas on what type of newsletter you’d like to create.

2. Pick a Name

Instead of picking a generic name like “Dr. Smith’s Dental Newsletter,” be creative when choosing a name for your dental advertising newsletter. Clever names make the newsletter sound more fun to read and improve its marketability. Examples include: “Nothing but the Tooth,” “The Brush & Floss Daily News,” or the “Periodontal Periodical.” Have fun with it and your patients will too!

3. Avoid Advertorials

Although technically an advertising vehicle, your newsletter is should incorporate education and be informative to your patients. If the articles in your newsletter are well-written and personal, they will engage your clients and accomplish the goal of the newsletter – to create a stronger relationship with your patients.

4. Don’t Rely on the Internet

Advertisers continually ask “how do I create a successful ad campaign”? These principles will make your program effective and dollar-efficient.

• Be different. The very first thing you should do is take a look at what your competition is doing, and start doing something else. Place your ads on different mediums, create a unique and different message, employ a different style of message delivery, and create a different image.

If you want to stand out from the crowd, you have to be different. Huge gains can be felt quickly when you look, act and talk in a manner that is different from your competitors.

• Be familiar. People buy what they know and are familiar with. They also buy from the places they know and trust. You can become familiar and trustworthy by implementing a campaign that makes you familiar.

• Be emotional. All decisions are emotional. It’s either need or greed. Talk to the heart of the consumer. Make them want you. Speak in their terms. Step inside your prospects shoes and find out what moves them.

• Be the leader. Look and act like a leader. When you present your company as the leader, prospects will think that you are. Always be proactive and don’t react to tactics used by your competitors.

• Be consistent. Next to creating the most compelling message possible, consistency is the strongest force in advertising.

• Be decisive. Decide in advance what you’re aiming for. You’ll never reach your goal if you don’t know what the target is. Are you expecting your ads to bring customers in tomorrow, or generate calls, or capture names, create goodwill, build an image…? What do you want tomorrow, next month or next year?

Marketing is all about creating value out of thin air, and using this value to apply to all of your products and services. There are all kinds of things that you can do to create value out of thin air, but it all starts with an understanding of the marketplace. If you’re spending your money trying to target the wrong people, then you’ll never become wealthy in your business.

Obviously you want to make money. But you can’t make this money if you’re doing the same thing over and over again. This is called insanity. If you want to make more money in your business without spending more money on advertising, then you’ve landed on the right article.

The bottom line is that if you want to be successful in your business, you have to get creative. I’ve come up with a few core strategies that will help you to boost your sales and profits without having to spend a dime more on advertising. In fact, here’s the first tip for making more money in your spending without spending a dime more on advertising:

1) Offering a “deluxe” package

Your deluxe package should be around $50 to $100 more than your core offer. In your deluxe package, offer something that will be of immense value to your customers or clients right before they are about to buy from you. If you’re stuck with ideas, here are 2 examples of how a deluxe package could work.

If you were a product on marketing, you could offer your core package for $100 – which includes a manual and a 200-page book that you could create. As far as a deluxe package goes, you could include a DVD of you working in action creating marketing campaigns for your prospects and customers.

Marketing is, of course, the main way a business will get themselves into the public eye and adverts are one of the main avenues that marketers will pursue. Choosing an advertising agency is a decision which shouldn’t be taken lightly and you should familiarise yourself with the sorts of tasks that a fully integrated advertising agency will carry out for you if you choose to utilise their services.

Brands don’t become household names overnight and it takes dedicated advertising campaigns over time to ensure that they become entrenched within the public consciousness. Examples of companies who have really capitalised on the use of skilled advertising agencies include the likes of Microsoft, Apple, Nike and they now have huge customer loyalty and immensely strong brand identities – courtesy of the quality of their products and the creativity of an advertising or branding agency.

Laying an Advertising Campaign Bare

Each agency will have their own way of approaching a marketing campaign but there will be various elements which are fairly universal across all advertising agency campaigns. Just some of the actions an advertising agency will undertake on your behalf include:

• Devise and Manage Creative Advertising Campaigns – Coming up with visually striking, relevant and engaging advertising campaign is no small feat and it takes a skilled and dedicated team of creative professionals to achieve this objective. The company will usually provide a brief of what they hope to achieve from their marketing and then leave it to the advertising agency to come up with a variety of concepts. Advertising campaigns are ordinarily to promote a new product or to reinforce the strength of a current brand.

Anyone can do this kind of advertising and it don’t cost anything. However, you do have to put some work into it. That’s the only price you have to pay. So, grab a pencil and paper and write these down.
