3 Ways Mobile Devices Can Help You Get Patients
How are you reading this article right now? Are you looking at it from your phone? Chances are that our guess is correct, and you are indeed looking at this article from a mobile device.
According to statistics, 50% of web traffic comes from mobile devices, and that percentage is projected to grow as more intuitive and intelligent mobile devices are brought to the market.
The Smartphone Era
Just 10 years ago, when smartphones were becoming popular, we didn’t think about marketing through mobile devices. People still had flip phones, and they weren’t really using phones for research aside from the occasional Google search to find addresses or phone numbers.
Now, if you take a lookout to your practice waiting room, you’ll most likely see everyone with their heads down looking at their phones.
If everyone is looking at their phones and are using them for much more than games and apps, why not adapt to a new form of patient marketing and capture their interest through their mobile devices?
Many companies have already adapted to mobile marketing to help them reach more people and bring in more patient leads. As a surgical practice, you can do that too! It’s all about knowing what people use their phones for and what they need to be nurtured and converted to patients!
Let’s talk about a few ways you can use mobile devices to help get patients and grow your practice!
Schedule An Appointment From Your Phone
.Do you dread making phone calls to schedule your appointments? A majority of people would rather book online than call into an office.
Booking online is easier and more convenient and typically integrates automatically with your patient’s digital calendar.
By promoting your “online appointment scheduling” option, you’re giving your future and current patients the ability to choose their date and time around their schedules.
No more going back and forth between what dates are available over the phone, and since they schedule around their time, you decrease the chance of no-shows!
Communication
We want to be connected 24-7. That’s why 91% of Americans keep their phones within reach.
When we have a question, we want answers, responses, and communication.
Automated webchat leads patients to answers they have questions for and makes them feel seen and heard.
You can send text messages to welcome them into your practice and send reminders to inform them of an upcoming appointment. After they’ve been seen, you can even send messages to rate their appointment and leave a review!
You can also send ringless voicemails to send a more personalized message as well as missed call text backs that show your patients they are important!
By integrating these tools into your practice, you’ll have an influx of communication and trackable data that gives you insight into your most asked questions, no-show statistics, and more!
The Power Of Social Media
People spend an average of more than 2 hours per day on social media. So use that information and boost your social media presence!
Utilize social media to attract the attention of the users you’re looking to nurture into patients.
Create targeted Facebook Ads designed to “stop the scroll” and bring them to a funnel describing your practice and a specific service.
By creating this process, you follow them from first click to first appointment. You can see what campaigns work and what services people are searching for.
