Host a Holiday Giveaway

Deals and giveaways are always appealing to patients, but are in higher demand during the holiday season because spending is heavy and more gift purchases are needed.

Giving back feels good.

And a Giveaway feels even better because it builds excitement around practice and works as an effective holiday marketing strategy.

Here are a Few Holiday Giveaway Tips:

1. Host the giveaway on your website

2. Create a tempting holiday offer

3. Create a sense of urgency (more on this further down)

4. Make it visually captivating

5. Promote sharing incentives

6. Leverage social media influencers

7. Run paid holiday campaigns online

Plan a Loyalty or Referral Campaign

Did you know it costs about 5-25x more to acquire a new patient than it does to sell to an existing one?

Patients LOVE attractive discounts. With loyalty or referral campaigns, you can expect recurring sales.

Implementing a referral program can help you boost your medical marketing and sales efforts even faster. It also helps to optimize your business sales cycles, by producing qualified patient leads that will maximize your sales funnel - Which then produces a better return on your marketing investment than acquiring new patient leads from scratch.

Create a Sense of Urgency

The holidays won't be around forever! You definitely need to make your patients aware that your holiday campaigns are time-sensitive.

Urgency inspires action.

By offering a limited time offer, your patients will be forced to act quickly, but keep in mind - urgency without scarcity won't work. This is a great psychological marketing tactic that has been used for years and is guaranteed to improve your conversion rates.
