More Patient Referrals

One of the best and easiest ways to get referrals is a simple gift given to your best patients with a reminder that you are accepting new patients and you would be honored to have their friends and family become a part of your practice.

This gift could be anything from a small gift card, a credit to their dental account, or even…

…a chance to win a big prize. There has been much success lately with this strategy, and many of our clients are reporting incredible results by doing this.

There are many ways to do this, and the best prizes are high ticket items. Don’t go and think you will have success offering a $10 Starbuck’s gift card and get huge referrals.

A RARE System Patient Newsletter client of ours has done this over the past year to much success. His prizes… A Dell computer with flat screen monitor and printer, A 47 inch LCD flat-screen television, and most recently 2 round trip plane tickets to anywhere in the United States.

Many people look at this and shudder at the cost of a 47″ TV. $1500 is a small cost to pay to get 10-15 new patients, and that’s a conservative estimate.

Have you seen the Kelton Research study? Almost half of patient referrals from dentist-to-specialists are lost or discarded by the patient. Dr. Michael Zirivitz D.D.S. in Deltona, Fla. has created a streamlined point-and-click secured web-site that not only streamlines the process of the traditional paper system, but lets the specialst pro-actively control it. Check it out at http://www.patientscount.com
