Cater to the group you consider your preferred cosmetic surgery patients, whether it be a particular age group or.

Then learn the demographics and the needs of that group and be where they are on the internet. The news sources, they follow the blogs they read. And so on. This is important because only a certain percentage of the population will invest in cosmetic enhancement. So, they must self-identify that they're interested in your services by clicking on your blog podcast, ads, banners, articles, reviews.

Now, with smarter marketing for new patients in the right niche market, you'll be more profitable. You won't waste your effort, time or money by throwing out your message to consumers who have no interest in your services. Now here's to start with your current patients while you're waiting for your mass market media marketing strategies to take hold, implement some fast-acting marketing strategies that give you revenues.

Now start with your current cosmetic surgery patients. They already know you like you and trust you. That means they're much more likely to respond to your marketing efforts and bring you new. So, your current patients are also your lowest hanging fruit since a patient who wants to look good today will want that again and again.

So, keep in touch with them via email, text, and social media, and offer an easy way for your patients to refer their friends and family. Now, if you need help with that, check out kiss rewards, club.com. It's my own platform that works like a. Now the best referrals will always come from satisfied, cosmetic patients who were treated well and who got a great result.

But here's the secret when they do refer someone to you, please thank them and show your appreciation for their support. Because when you make someone feel appreciated, they want to help you even. Here's number three, Facebook advertising. Use your current patient email list in your Facebook audiences.

When setting up a Facebook ad campaign, this way, your current cosmetic patients will see you in their Facebook stream and that's smarter marketing for new patients. That alone may compel them to reach out to you or at least like, and share your posts and ads with their friends on Facebook. You also want to add your own patient list as a look-alike audience in your ad campaign.

Facebook will analyze your patient list to send your ad to others that mirror the similarities of your current to help you in smarter marketing for new patients. Here're four social media booths set up a corner of your office as your social media booth. Just order a customized backdrop, stand with your logo and your website on it. So, all photos and videos show your contact information in the background.

Now, every visiting patient can sing your praises to their social media friends by taking selfies with you and your. You can also interview them about their experience with you and then forward the video to them so they can upload it to their social media platforms and you can do the same. And here's five.

Lastly, track your "smarter marketing for new patients" results, ask every new patient, how they heard about you. Now there's plenty of technology to help you do this. You can code your ads, use a special telephone line, or have cosmetic patients present a message for the special offer. You mentioned in your patient emails or social posts or.

Now regularly pull reports to determine where your marketing results are coming from, because that's where you want to invest your marketing budget. Don't get. Take the emotion and anecdotes out of it and look at the numbers since they're facts not fiction. So, the point is when marketing plastic surgery procedures, it takes different messages, different formats and consistency, and a ton of repetition.
