Every growing practice needs a constant stream of leads and new patients that not merely generate revenue, but help advance your practice through word of mouth. It is essential to clearly define your practice on all advertising materials and during consultations to simply help build your brand and lend credibility to your practice.

Many chiropractors make the mistake of trying to be everything to everyone. This can lead to confusion between you and your clients and less effective treatment programs. You will see that focusing your practice on a couple of specific treatments will lead to raised response rates in advertising, more streamlined office operations, a better sense of the demographics locally, and higher profitability.

For example, your first marketing campaign may include full-color newspaper inserts sent directly into homes of potential clients. Let's say you design your flyer to cover every symptom you are able to consider - herniated discs, sciatica, bulging discs, neck pain, rehabilitation, workers comp, and carpal tunnel syndrome. While you might think it is a good idea to share with your patients of every symptom that you treat, this is not a good move from a marketing standpoint.

It is smarter to style advertisements that focus on a couple of particular symptoms so that you provides a wealth of info on each issue. By trying to interest everyone all at once, you lose the capability to grab someone's attention and conquer their anxiety and concerns about chiropractic. Maximize the potential of each advertisement by eliminating the unnecessary information and appealing as strongly as you possibly can to your target audience.

Over time, you can create a newspaper insert campaign for each type of symptom and slowly build your client list the right way. In this your response rates will increase and you will soon know exactly which treatments are the most lucrative in your area. This really is key for future success and can quickly place you in at a plus over your competitors.

Do some research on chiropractic advertising to gather ideas and topics for your own marketing materials. You may even work with a competitor's flyers or promotions to assist you understand your area. What're they marketing? What's their market?

A good way to begin your chiropractic advertising is to design, print, and deliver full color flyers through the newspaper. For less than $0.10 per home you can cause and distribute full-color glossy flyers. You will find even companies offering free chiropractic flyer samples whenever you register a free of charge account.

The most crucial thing to keep in mind is that you need to advertise to grow your practice. As an experienced marketing professional I've a saying about customers, "If that you do not inform them you offer it, they won't know or ask."
