4 Ways You Can Grow Your Own Chiropractic Clinic with Weekly Email Newsletters

Here’s how to grow your chiropractic clinic using weekly email newsletters.

1) — Focus on Educational Content

Offering potential patients educational content is one of the best ways to grow your chiropractic clinic.

Give people advice and tips on living better, wellness, and overall health.

Education can come in various ways, including advice on correct posture, stretching exercises, and controlling weight.

We think about this through our framework of Teach & Invite.

Each email you send can provide education, engaging, and entertaining content that showcases the benefits of chiropractic care in a powerful yet subtle way.

Instead, focus on highlighting the benefits of your care and how it can improve the quality of life of your reader.

It’s a subtle difference but makes a world of difference in the results you’ll receive with your email marketing.

No one likes to be sold, yet everyone wants to discover new ways to improve their health.

With Patient Pilot, we send over 1M+ emails each month for our members.

These emails result in thousands of booked patient appointments each year.

Be sure to include how your chiropractic practice can help.

How can you make their lives better?

2) — Promote New Services

When your chiropractic practice adds new services, why not promote them?

Tell people about the new things you are offering through your weekly email.

Here are a few things you should promote in your email newsletters:

• New Services
• Changes to Hours
• New Service Providers (massage therapists, etc.)
• Insurance Updates
• HSA/FSA reminders
• Products in your Smart Care Store
• New equipment

Everything above should be highlighted in your weekly email newsletters.

Remember to focus on the benefits for your patient, not the features.

For example, the features of a new chiropractic table would be things like “flexion-distraction for decreasing intra-discal pressure” with the benefit would be something to the effect of “our new tables can help patients with disc herniations get better results, faster!”.

3) — Don’t Shy Away From Data and Statistics

When creating content for your chiropractic-focused weekly email newsletters, use data and statistics from reliable sources.

One of the significant benefits of email marketing is changing it or updating it anytime without following a publishing schedule.

Use that to your advantage!

Is there a new study out that you want to get to your patients?

Presenting it in a way that shows how your chiropractic clinic could help grow your practice.

You could be ‘the place’ for people to try a new procedure or technique.

Each one of our weekly email newsletters sent with Patient Pilot contains a “Science Source” at the bottom.

This Science Source links to a peer-reviewed journal article from a trusted journal.

To organize your email marketing calendar, we recommend a system of monthly campaigns and weekly topics.

We use this system within Patient Pilot and have found it highly successful.

Each month, we outline a campaign, which is the “big idea.”

In other words, that monthly campaign would be a big topic: the low back, the cervical spine, sports chiropractic, etc.

Then, your weekly topic highlights a specific aspect of that monthly campaign.

4) — Regularly Feature Patient Success Stories

Testimonials also make for great email content.

Positive stories of good experiences always resonate with people.

Testimonials also translate well to social media marketing as part of your overall chiropractic marketing strategy.

An easy place to start is to check out your Facebook and Google Business pages.

You may already have a handful or hundreds of reviews that you can use within your email marketing.

We’re firm believers that you can never have enough testimonials!

There’s one BIG thing we learned from working with practice after practice after practice that we’ve kept in mind as we crafted this list of 4 ways you can grow your chiropractic clinic using weekly email newsletters…

Too many chiropractors with holes in their schedule form their marketing strategy around the notion that they have a new patient problem.

However, that’s often NOT the case.

Think of it this way…

If you have an email list of over 300 patients – that’s 300 local patients that have walked through your doors and experienced your care – it’s not true.

With a list of that size, what you almost certainly do have is a patient retention and reactivation problem.

That’s where Patient Pilot comes in.

Our email marketing strategy for chiropractors and automated chiropractic email marketing system was designed to help provide patients with a fantastic experience that, in turn, can help fill the holes in your practice’s patient bucket.
