Marketing or Public Relations?

1/22/2018

0 Comments

 

Now that we have defined our Public Relations subcategories, we can begin to consider what we want to be engaged in: marketing or public awareness?

In a practice that has a waiting list for new patients, the focus of your PR should be public awareness campaigns; these type of campaigns can simmer and wait for the right time to be turned up by the right practitioner into a marketing opportunity. In our practice, we have both a headrest and a concussion campaign that serve this purpose for us. See www.payitaheadrest.com and www.concussionconfusion.com to see this in action.

If you are trying to grow your practice and want to invest in a marketing event, be sure you determine an appropriate ROI. If the average patient spends $2000 in your practice during their initial care plan, how do we use this information to understand how many people we need to be able to screen per hour to achieve our desired result?

As an example,...

Public Relations is a central part of your practice

Public Relations is a central part of your practice, and for the sake of organization and understanding we break this topic down into public awareness and marketing. Whereas public awareness activity doesn’t have a clear ROI (return on investment), marketing activities should be done with a particular ROI in mind. What is your office’s profit percentage from last year? If you know this number, it will allow you to make improved marketing decisions in 2018.

To state what should be apparent, in any business the revenue you end up with as profit is the amount that you didn’t spend on anything else. One of a number of things you can do with your profits is to invest in marketing activities to help grow your business.

For example, if you choose to spend a dollar on an event and expect 50% profit (50% overhead), you need to make at least two dollars to pay back that dollar you’ve invested. Using this same thought process, if you target a 10% profit margin after all expenses (90% overhead), you have to make 10 dollars to recover that dollar you spent.  In this 10% scenario, if you don’t make at least a 10x return on your marketing expense you’re just spinning your wheels. This is a complicated concept, but one that is fundamental; if you’re struggling with the math, or aren’t sure about your profit percentages, target a 10x ROI for any marketing activity and you’ll be fine.

Have fun while you build your practice, increase your profits, and enjoy your life!

Happy New Year 2018

Happy New Year!

The first quarter of the year brings us a new theme to help focus our practice;
Community & Volunteerism. 

Within this theme, two of our key considerations are public awareness and marketing. In our practice, these areas both fall within a category we term ‘Public Relations’. Public awareness is when those in your surroundings know that you exist, know what you do, and know why you do it. The activities you chose to participate in from a public awareness perspective may or may not have a direct or clear ROI (return on investment). Examples of these activities may include a sign on your building, a passive website, a professional referral strategy, or an educational campaign. When you spend money or time on activities that don’t have a clear ROI, classify it as public awareness as opposed to marketing.

Alternatively, marketing is done with a clear and desired ROI, which we will discuss in our next installment.

​Have fun while you build your practice, increase your profits, and enjoy your life!

What are targets and how can they help your business?

1/2/2018

What are targets, and how can they help your business? Targets differ from goals; goals need to be SMART (Specific, Measurable, Attainable, Relevant, Time-Bound), while a target is a general direction in which you want to be heading. Targets don’t have to be SMART - they work by keeping you moving in the right direction. A goal might be to speak with 3 professionals that are co-caring for patients you see this upcoming month, whereas a target would be to increase your involvement with professionals. One is SMART, and the other indicates a direction you would like to move in.

In our practice, targets are part of our 3-5 year plan. Targets can also be side effects of other things, such as revenue; for me, revenue is a fortunate side effect of patients that are well cared for and a business that is well run.

The biggest reason to utilize targets is to keep you focused and on track. You should only have a few goals in the areas that are top priority to you, and the rest of what you identify (but aren’t going to move mountains to achieve) can sit as targets.

Have fun while you build your practice, increase your profits, and enjoy your life!
