We Need To Talk About Your Marketing with Saul Alvarez and Dr. Chantel Garcia

Episode Summary

So many doctors don't want to think about marketing. It doesn't feel like a great investment. It takes significant amounts of time. We'd rather not have to spend money to get patients in our door. Yet effective marketing drives a cohesive experience that can make or break your practice.

Episode Notes

In today's episode, our guests are Saul Alvarez, found of Midbrain, and Dr. Chantel Garcia, founder and owner of Carolina Eye Doctors in Harrisburg, NC, talking about the power of marketing and how your website and external marketing drives the experience your patients will have in your practice. 

Key Takeaways:

  1. While websites feel like old hat, they shouldn't. Your website should tell your story, evoke an emotion from your patients, and set them up for the experience they'll have in your practice before they actually step foot through the door. Language tone, colors, fonts, photos, and videos matter significantly.
  2. Your brand is all encompassing. Your decisions. Your patient experience. Your physical space. Your lighting. Your technology and equipment. A good marketing partner will take all those into consideration to build a strong foundation.
  3. Setting your processes and procedures to set your practice up for the success you want. Make the bold decision. Stick to it while it's tough. It will lead to the outcomes you want.
  4. Your personal story is a critical component of your brand. Tell it and tell it often. Offloading your marketing prevents you from telling that story effectively.
  5. To continue to grow, your strategy must evolve over time. As your strategy changes, invest in your marketing to support the specific goals you have for that time period.
  6. In the grand scheme of things, the basics of marketing are the most impactful.
