The Virtual A-Board

Imagine, if you will, that you have an A-Board that advertises your best offers.
Whenever you have a bright idea:

  • free implant consults
  • half-price whitening
  • same day veneers
  • same day crowns
  • invisible ortho
  • new patient assessments with a TCO
  • Children’s Days
  • Charity events
  • members evenings
  • special offers
  • limited time promotions

 
In fact, any campaign….
Your A-Board can be changed immediately and at no cost.
 
Your A-board is bright, shiny and very noticeable.
The problem is – where do you put it?
 
Options:

  • in the back garden of your practice = 1 person sees it every week = 0.1% take up = 1 new patient every 1000 weeks
  • at the front of your practice = 100 people see it every week = 0.1% take up = 1 new patient every 10 weeks
  • in a local shopping centre = 1000 people see it every week = 0.1% take up = 1 new patient a week
  • in a major regional shopping mall = 10,000 people see it every week = 10 new patients a week
  • on a bridge over the local motorway = 100,000 people see it every week = 100 new patients a week
  • on TV in the X-Factor adverts = 1000,000 people see it very week = 1000’s of new patients

Wouldn’t you like your A-board in that shopping centre, on that bridge, on TV?
 
Well now you can – and at very low cost.
 
Its called social media.
Populate the following:

  • a web site
  • a blog
  • a Facebook page
  • a Linkedin profile
  • a Foursquare site
  • a YouTube channel
  • a Twitter page

 
Keep them busy. Keep them lively. Keep them interesting.
Invite followers at every available opportunity.
 
You will create that virtual A-board for your offers – but better then any A-board – you will be able to add content and video that will bring your brand to life.
You become the media.
The world’s most effective A-board.
