Here are five ideas you can start with:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Send out flyers to promote a special offer for new patients.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Set up your Google Business Profile. Add clear photos and list your services.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Start a referral program. Reward patients who bring in friends.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Leave your business cards or a small sign at a local caf\u00e9.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Ask happy patients to leave Google reviews.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Pick one or two to start. Then add more as you go.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-create-a-patient-referral-program\">Create a patient referral program<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Your happy patients can be your best marketers. A referral program gives them a reason to spread the word. Here\u2019s how to set it up:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Offer a reward:<\/strong> A discount, a whitening kit, or a small gift card all work well. It doesn\u2019t have to cost much. It just needs to feel like a thank-you.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Keep it simple:<\/strong> Use a message like, \u201cRefer a friend and you both get 10% off.\u201d Add it to your website, emails, signs, and flyers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Make tracking easy:<\/strong> Ask new patients to mention who referred them. Or give out cards or links tied to each patient.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Talk about it often:<\/strong> Remind people. Train your staff to mention it at checkout or when a patient gives good feedback.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This kind of word-of-mouth marketing feels natural. It builds trust and keeps current patients involved. If you\u2019re sending flyers or direct mail with Oppizi, you can include the <a href=\"https:\/\/oppizi.com\/es\/en\/us\/en\/blog\/lifecycle-marketing\/referral-marketing\/\">referral<\/a> offer right on the design. That way, you reach even more people without extra effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h-use-direct-mail-to-stay-in-touch-with-patients\">Use direct mail to stay in touch with patients<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Marketing isn\u2019t just about getting new patients. It\u2019s also about keeping the ones you already have. Direct mail is a simple way to do that. A friendly postcard or letter feels personal. It helps people remember your practice. Here are a few ways to use it:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Promote your referral program:<\/strong> Mail a card with the referral offer. Patients can give it to a friend.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Share updates:<\/strong> Let people know about new hours, staff, or services.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Send seasonal reminders:<\/strong> Encourage cleanings before the holidays or at back-to-school time.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Announce offers:<\/strong> Share a limited-time deal, like discounted whitening or free consults.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Celebrate your patients:<\/strong> Send birthday cards or thank-you notes. Small gestures go a long way.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">If you\u2019re short on time, Oppizi can help. You can design and send mail to your patient list, or combine it with a referral campaign.
