Genesis Chiropractic Software is here to help you ensure your chiropractic business is running smoothly. Here’s what you need to know about adding marketing and business skills to your arsenal to improve your business and patient experience.
1. Be Unique, Be Different
Last year, there were over 67,000 chiropractic practices in the U.S. One of the best ways to set yourself apart from your competition is to identify ways that make you special. It may be as simple as being more personable with your patients than other offices or a patient program that emphasizes information and/or additional communication. You also can provide supplemental information for chiropractic care online.
2. Give Back to Your Community
Giving back to your community through volunteer work, outreach programs, or other educational opportunities can really set you apart from the rest. You can even attend or sponsor health fairs to get your name out in the community. These are great options to promote your practice and meet important people in your area.
3. Never Stop Learning
A winning chiropractic practice relies on continued education to ensure you and your team are up to date on the most current treatments and technologies. You also want to stay up to date on marketing and advertising strategies to help your business grow.
4. Stay Current on New Tech
Modern patients want modern technologies. In some cases, you can save more money by upgrading to new equipment due to energy efficiency, reliability, and other factors.
5. Make It Easy for Customers to Pay You
Offer a variety of ways for customers to pay you. Whether it’s online through a bill pay system, cash, or via insurance, they like to have options in order to choose what’s right for them. Don’t get trapped into a situation where a patient can’t pay because you don’t accept X, Y, or Z forms of payment.
6. Social Media is Your Friend
Whether it’s Facebook, Youtube, Twitter, TikTok, or Instagram, it’s important to get your practice on social media. At the minimum, it’s a free way of promoting your business and sharing thought leadership with your target audience. You may explore paid advertising as a way to win new patients. Additionally, chiropractic care treatments have become viral on TikTok in the form of “back cracking” video shorts.
7. Explore Laser Therapy
Laser therapy can treat a wide variety of conditions including subacromial impingement syndrome, plantar fasciitis, arthritis, and more.
