Haliburton, Ontario
(MarketWire) August 24, 2009 – In a 2009 survey conducted
by the American Association of
Endodontists (AAE), over 80%
of adult Americans revealed they
fear the dentist, with over half of
those questioned saying fear might
actually prevent them from even
stepping foot into a dental office,
an alarming discovery for dentists
already suffering from the down
economy.
But with dental advertising
products from Patient News
Publishing, a leading dental
marketing company, practices can
conveniently approach potential
new clients in their neighborhood
or community to help their practice
grow as well as educate and
communicate with existing patients
to increase recall percentages,
improve case acceptance, and
increase patient referrals.
A journal article by M.A. Hamilton
reported that two studies proved that
communication increased patient
utilization of dental services by
inhibiting patient treatment anxiety
and by enhancing the perceived
technical competence of the dentist.

"Our dental marketing and
dental advertising products
include customized postcards and
newsletters to increase new patient
flow and improve patient retention,
personalized referral cards,
practice and patient education
brochures, all which can include
useful information to ease the
worries of consumers who fear
going to the dentist," said Karen
Galley, President of Patient News
Publishing.
According to a Pitney Bowes/Pepper
Rogers Group survey: direct
mail (such as dental marketing
newsletters) contributes most to
establishing a relationship, and
consumers value organizations that
make an effort to communicate
and build a relationship with them
through the mail.
"We can develop your ideal target
mailing area using geographic and
demographic information such
as age and income to reach out to
the members of your community
that you want to attract, let them
know about your practice, and why
they're in good hands with you,"
said Galley.
"Additionally, we incorporate
|
variable data into our dental
marketing and dental advertising
products, (actual recipient name
printed throughout your postcard
or newsletter), which can increase
response rates by up to 44%! Our
clients have reported anywhere
from 20 or more new unique
patients generated per month as
a result of our dental marketing
campaigns."
