Dental Marketing Services in Connecticut that will increase consults today

Dental Marketing Services in Connecticut come in all shapes and sizes.  You’re probably tried a lot of them, with mixed results: a shiny new website, SEO, endless social media posts, post cards, email blasts, pay-per-click advertising and more.  But online marketing like this is like an “arms race,” where all sides are spending as much as they can to attract all those “new patients” that will make your Connecticut practice a success.

In Connecticut, there’s a better way

Dental Marketing Services that increase consults

Think about your practice: you’ve built it for years, and you know so many patients by name.  They’re the patients who are most likely to make your practice a success.  They’re you’re next consult.  So why not make sure they know more about your best new procedures?

Chances are that you’ve added more new procedures in the past decade than at any time before this.  But most of your patients don’t know about them.  And as a professional, you can’t simply “sell” them new ideas.

A Dental Marketing Tool that can help them…and you

Your practice is busy.  Phone calls come in all day long…booking cleanings, booking follow-up appointments, asking questions.  Frequently, the phone rings and callers are asked to “please hold” for a few moments.

Make that call more helpful

When your patients must wait on “hold,” they don’t want to listen to “dentist” music.  They don’t want to wait in “dead silence” wondering if they’ve been cut off.  They don’t want to be bored.

So put that time to use, giving them helpful information, about their dental health, about oral hygiene, and about how you can help them best.  Tell them about restorative dentistry, about how implants can improve their lives, and about how whitening can improve their entire outlook.

If you had the opportunity, what would you like more of your patients to know about?  Your new CEREC crowns?  Or Invisalign?  How about gentle laser dentistry?  You’ve invested in these great new advances, now educate your patients about what that means to them.

Message on hold Systems aren’t all created equal: 6 Factors to check on

Message on hold Systems aren’t all created equal.  When you look past the basics, you’ll quickly see that there are important differences in what you’re getting.

Messages on hold systems may sound alike

On the surface all on hold messages may seem the same. And many do sound similar.  They’re voice recordings that play on your phone system while your telephone callers wait on hold (or in a queue waiting for their call to be answered for the first time).

The first on hold advertising was used in the travel industry.  Customers calling for reservations reached large “call centers” filled with telephone service representatives took hundreds (or more) calls every hour. Callers heard advertising messages while they waited for “the next available representative.”

Today, most phone system, even for the smallest businesses can be customized to play on hold recordings. But most businesses don’t realize that what goes in to your  messages determines what you get out of them.

What to look for when you’re shopping

On hold messaging is advertising.  But every kind of advertising has it’s own secrets.  Advertising on billboards, direct mail, and your website are all different, and need a different approach.

When you’re planning too try using Messages on hold, there are 6 factors that you don’t want to overlook:

– who will you be working with? Will your main point of contact be a sales person, or a marketer? A strategist or the writer? Will you always work with the same contact, or will you work with “the next available representative”?

– how easy is it to reach your contact? Do they contact you on a regular schedule?

– industry knowledge: does your key contact understand your industry?  Do they know that every industry has different marketing challenges and opportunities?  If not, will they take the time to do outside research and learn from you about your historic marketing track record?

– who will write the script? Many suppliers claim that they offer on hold services, but simply record a script that you write. You’re probably good at what you do (helping customers with hardware, physical therapy, or plastic surgery) but you’re not a copy writer, experienced in crafting a script that will capture your customer’s attention and prompt interest in your services.

What limits do you face with the script? Is there a specific number of messages, or are you charged by the word? You’d be surprised at how this can limit your options

– will  your messages be updated? Will your supplier develop a schedule that works with your other marketing activities, your busy and slow seasons, work with you on an ongoing basis, contacting you when it’s time to update?

– can you choose from a one-time recording or a long term contract?  What’s guaranteed in the contract?  Can you cancel at any time (most don’t give you the option to cancel, often for 3 to 5 years!) no matter if you like the service you receive or not.

Find out before you commit

In New York, a well-known business owner named Sy Sims said “An educated consumer is our best customer.”  Before committing to a long term, unbreakable contract, find out about the factors that will really make a difference in the value you get from your messages on hold service.

Kubota Marketing Messages on hold

Messages on hold give you an opportunity to deliver your message to landscapers, construction managers, farmers, and homeowners who you can help, right when they’re most interested in your help.  They put the time that your telephone callers waste waiting on “hold” with helpful, interesting information.

Right now, you’ve probably got a customer, or a potential buyer, waiting on hold…for sales, for service, or for parts.  They’re getting bored (or frustrated) listening to computerized “VoIP” music on hold, or just sitting in dead silence.

But you’ve got another choice: on hold advertising that hits your customers’ “hot buttons.”  They talk about the problems that your customers face, and how you can help solve them.  Your customers can hear about your time saving compact and subcompact tractors.  They can hear about groundbreaking product innovations that help your agricultural customers.

What do your customers need?

There’s only one way to create successful marketing messages on hold: around you and your customer.  What do your customers need?  What problems do they face every day that you can help them solve?  Unless they know they’re not going to visit your showroom. Why not tell them with targeted advertising in a professional phone message?

Yealink Music on hold: are you overlooking a marketing opportunity?

Yealink music on hold is one of the simple features that you may be taking for granted.  Businesses across Connecticut and New York do it every day.  Why?  Because your system probably has the default music playing when telephone calls are placed on hold.  Phone system features like your auto attendant, extension numbers, and voicemail were probably customized by your VoIP Phone Installer, just to make the system work.  But did you ever think about making the system work better simply by replacing your VoIP music with marketing messages on hold?

Yealink Music on hold replacement

You could keep the standard hold music that your Yealink phones come with.  Thousands of businesses do, so you can sound like the rest of them.  From used car dealers to respected hospitals, Yealink VoIP Systems all use the same computerized music on hold.

Why not give your callers something else…something better?  When your phone rings it’s “a call for help.”  Your callers have a problem that they want solved, or they need or want something.  They’ve looked at your website, now they want more information.

Give your callers what they want…and what you want them to have

Give your caller information, about your products and services, about the quality and value you offer, and about what makes you different from your competition. Give your callers information that they want and need to make their buying decision…why they should buy from you.

Think about your callers

You’ve heard many of the same questions, again and again.  You’ve answered them every day. So why not start helping your callers right away, even if they have to wait on “hold” for a moment. These hold advertisements can help  you sound more professional, and make more progress on every phone call. Give your callers the right information and you can start more of the conversations that you want to have with them.

Here’s a sample of an actual on dental hold message playing on a Yealink System
