Treat, not a trick - excellent marketing support now, pay later

We are getting into the festive period frenzy of special offers and deals - from holidays to furniture to any number of potential gifts.  But it's refreshing to know that for business planning, marketing advice, branding, website and patient communications, your costs can be spread over several months.  

Following the expenditure for practice refurbishments and equipment upgrades for CQC and HTM 01-05, or the launch of a new practice maybe, cash may be tight but the need for finding new patients, promoting new treatments, attracting high value patients and increasing referrals never goes away.  

It's important that dental practices choose a flexible agency to support them - not just in terms of high standard advice that eliminates costly mistakes or media planning and buying that saves them money.  Smile Marketing works with you to plan and budget in a way that suits your cash flow, whilst allowing you to benefit from marketing right away.

There are two ways we do this. One, from our proposal, which is always competitive, you can simply select paying in 12 equal monthly instalments on the agreed contract value. There is no minimum contact value. Two, for marketing investment over £10k, we can recommend a finance company that allows you to spread payments as part of an unsecured 'working capital' loan.

Coming soon - more dental business growth workshops in London - November 2011 and February 2012.

 Steve Davey and Pree Panchmatia, renowned dental business and marketing specialists, are hosting a FREE half day practical    workshop (worth £395) in London's West End.   

Entitled 'What is the real 'hidden wealth' in your practice, and how can you release it?', it enables dental practice owners to address the following questions: -

How can I best maximise my profitability? What are the best and safest ways to slash my business and personal taxes? Why patients should beat a path to my practice rather than another? What are the best ways of getting a steady stream of my ideal patients? How can I get revitalised to enjoy my dentistry again, make more and work less?

For all principals who are disappointed with their current financial results, then this workshop is a 'must attend'.

Pree Panchmatia specialises in business growth and financial planning and advises dental practices on how to maximize the effectiveness of the team to engage patients and improve revenue. Steve Davey specialises in all aspects of marketing the practice to achieve best ROI – to include new patient acquisition, maximizing your patient list and helping you introduce additional treatments.

Their combined approach ensures dental practices and other sector businesses receive a unique mix of skills and over 45 years experience in helping businesses improve their profitability.

Smile Marketing opens office overseas

 Dental marketing specialists, Smile Marketing, are proud to announce a new office in Guernsey.  As part of its expansion plan, the agency recently opened the office to serve its clients on the Channel Islands.

The agency feels that it can help dentists in the Channel Islands to increase patient numbers and improve fee revenues. The new office is located in St Sampson and enables Smile Marketing to support private practices as they develop their businesses within a competitive market.

The move is part of the agency’s strategy to make dental marketing a recognised specialised service across the country. It recognises that the dentistry profession presents marketing challenges such as trying to communicate clinical information to patients. As dental marketing specialists, dental practices can feel assured that this is done in an accurate yet accessible way.

Steve Davey, MD, says:

“As part of our UK growth strategy, we wanted to ensure all parts of the UK have access to specialist marketing skills and experience. Supporting the Channel Islands’ dental community is a natural extension of our services”.

Smile Marketing now has offices in Devon, London and the Channel Islands, with other branches scheduled for the Midlands, the North West, the North East, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland.

Smile Marketing enters new growth phase

In recognition of its rapidly growing client base in the dental sector, Smile Marketing is looking for marketing professionals to work as associates in the business. Both experienced and junior project managers are welcome to approach the agency.

The agency offers a full range of marketing services to include marketing planning, practice branding, clinician and practice PR, patient recruitment campaigns as well as dental websites. Smile Marketing also delivers marketing workshops for practice managers and staff and a weekly marketing clinic. Offering either retainer-based or project-based packages, the company's flexible approach to helping practices is proving to be very popular.

Founder Steve Davey commented: "Since the launch of Smile Marketing, interest from dentists has been fantastic and is very encouraging. The dental field has become increasingly competitive and guiding Principals and Practice Managers to become more self-sufficient and targeted with their marketing is proving to be a real 'win win'.

He added "With almost certain changes within NHS dentistry afoot, the need for professional support from dedicated dental marketers can only increase".
