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

If you are not yet targeting the Spanish speaking market, you are missing out on a $1 Billion USD market – and that’s just in the US. Recent census reports that there are currently 50 million Latinos living in the US. Latinos are the fastest growing ethnic group in the United States and their purchasing power is quickly approaching $1 Billion US Dollars. On average, Latinos tend to spend more on online purchases and they are one of the fastest segments to get “wired”. The Spanish speaking market in the United States has become so important that Google has created a specialist team to focus on Latinos in the US.

One of the fastest and least expensive ways to reach Spanish speaking markets in the US and around the globe is to translate your website. Do not make the mistake of thinking that an online free translator can get the job done. Investing in a professional website translation can do wonders for your business and put you way ahead of your competition. Competition for online keywords in Spanish is still relatively low, so you can reach a whole new set of customers for a relatively small investment. Just imagine tapping into a market your competitors haven’t even considered! It is well known among marketers and advertisers that Spanish speaking customers are very loyal to brands, so to establish your company as one that caters to the Spanish speaking market is a great step.

Customs brokers can be absolutely essential if you are in any way involved with bringing any type of goods through customs. If you’re involved in the import or export business, put a qualified customs broker on speed dial, because you are going to be using their services a lot.

When you are involved in commercial import or export business, the amount of paperwork can be absolutely overwhelming. The amount of laws and restrictions can also be quite burdensome. Every single country has its own import and export laws that can be difficult to navigate, particularly if you are just starting out in the import or export business. Working with a professional customs broker can save you a great deal of hassle and potentially a great deal of money.

Customs brokers know the laws and regulations regarding trade with each individual country and can help you to navigate this often tricky territory. When you are working with a professional, you are more able to easily access the different regulations and customs of each country, because you are working with someone who knows the ins and outs of each body of legislation. Customs brokers will work with the preparation of any documents that you may need for importing or exporting to a certain country. They can also keep track of any electronic submission, receipts, or other online documents or files.

Professionals can also help you figure out and take care of any fees, taxes, excises, or duties that are required for any import or export to a certain country. This can save you potentially a great deal of money, because working with a professional means that you won’t be charged additional fees for breaking standard customs regulations, and can even keep you from running afoul of the laws of each country.

Improving B2B lead generation figures involves the integration of a number of different marketing mediums. Businesses often find it hard to keep track of their marketing efforts in a consistent manner, and as a result fail to take advantage of some powerful opportunities that can generate a significant number of leads.

Demand Generation

Demand generation is the process of building awareness through a variety of media including social media marketing, email marketing, pay per click ads, viral marketing, search engine optimization, offline advertising and affiliate marketing. Combining the different methods in a planned marketing campaign offers the greatest possibility of attracting the maximum number of new prospects.

Email Marketing

Email marketing continues to be a key part of any marketing campaign. Whichever method is used to make initial contact with prospects, email marketing is used to follow-up with these prospects, maintaining their interest in a service or product and facilitating the conversion of leads into customers.

Marketing Automation

Getting a direct link between your demand generation efforts and the revenue generated can be complicated, especially when using so many different channels. The most efficient way to track marketing and ROI is with the use of marketing automation software, viewing at-a-glance which methods are most successful for B2B lead generation.

There’s a saying in purchasing that when the inventory in the warehouse is lean, sales is doing a great job. When the warehouse is overstocked, there must be a problem with purchasing. That’s the world we live in.

Running a profitable company in this economy is as much about keeping inventory lean as it is about boosting sales. But as everyone knows, that’s easier said than done. With demand fluctuations, supplier issues and tightening wallets, keeping the right balance of inventory is tricky to say the least.

Unfortunately, there is no magic bullet that will keep your inventory perfect all the time. However, the first step in fixing any problem is identifying its causes. In this article, we will talk about 5 of the most common mistakes buyers make when placing orders. Once identified, we can put a few simple practices in place that will help us become more accurate in our orders, increase our fill rates, and reduce our inventory.

Blinded by Averages

Someone once told me that if you have your head in a freezer and your feet in a fire, on average, your body temperature is about right…but you definitely will not be comfortable. Most buyers have some kind of system that tells them the average movement for their products by the day, week or month. Nearly every order is based off of these averages, and they should be. However, there are a couple reasons why this can be dangerous.

First, we all know that products can experience large unexplained drops or spikes in demand for one period. If your calculations do not have a way to filter those periods, they can cause a large swing in the overall average. A large change in your average would lead to a dramatic change in the future order quantity. If this spike or dip in demand does not continue in the future, you will either have way too much stock or worse…not enough.
