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

The shape of business-to-business (B2B) lead generation has changed significantly over the past few years. E-mail marketing campaigns continue to deliver results, but the way in which companies interact online has moved into new realms. If internet marketers wish to succeed in the current climate, they must explore and exploit the benefits of social.

Social media tools describe services that bring people and businesses together to communicate in some form or another. Two of the finest examples of successful social platforms are Twitter and Facebook, which have attracted more than 325 million users between them.

Availing of these tools is not easy, however, not least because many firms fail to appreciate the reasons why people choose to network online. As with conventional B2B lead generation methods, simply advertising a brand online is not always enough – users, particularly companies, expect more via social media.

Using social for B2B lead generation is set to become an integral aspect of demand generation in its broadest context, while e-mail marketing campaigns can learn a lot from experienced social media marketers because exploiting social media requires an understanding of ‘buyer personas’.

Buyer personas describe the personality traits, characteristics and purchasing trends of potential consumers, clients and business partners. Online marketing campaigns have suffered in the past for failing to appreciate that the same template cannot be used successfully for all firms within a particular demographic – content must match a more precise target audience. Social media can be used to fine-tune B2B marketing campaigns to the point where marketers understand their audience on a more personal level.

B2B demand generation can be facilitated in this manner because companies are appreciating the value of being represented on Twitter, Facebook and other such websites. Firms communicate through social media with their customers, clients and business partners – tapping in to this vital mode of networking can stimulate lead generation across the board.
