Dental Marketing

Targeting the right audience for the lowest CPM.

Dental marketing is a bit like selling something no one enjoys. 50% of the population don't visit a dentist regularly.

The other half has chosen a dentist either by proximity, brand awareness, referral, price, or all the above.

Regardless of a dentist's business model (high volume and low cost, or low volume higher cost), it's about targeting the right audience for the lowest CPM. Granted, not all CPMs generate the same results.

Dental Marketing

Dental marketing is unusual. Consider that dental is something everyone needs but nobody wants. About half the population doesn't see a dentist regularly.  You can see the uphill battle.
The dental industry has lagged behind other industries when it comes to adopting sophisticated marketing techniques. Only in the last few years has digital become a marketing cornerstone for DSOs. However, most DSOs don't seriously coordinate the digital elements for maximum effectiveness. One vendor is handling the website, another manages social media, another oversees reviews, and so on. It's a mess. Compounding the problem, many "dental agencies" espousing dental expertise are just tech nerds trying to make a buck in dental, and they know little about the industry itself.
You may be considering consolidation of your marketing, but finding a qualified agency is difficult.
Medina Communications is different.
We began working in dental marketing back in 2001. We helped build the largest dental franchise in the U.S. with 150 offices across 7 states, and $300M in annual billing. We handle a DSO with 32 offices across 6 states. You might say, no one can touch our experience. Frankly, no one is even close.
Established in 1996, Medina Communications is a full-service dental agency that has the experience and track record to grow your DSO. Reach out today.

Effective dental marketing starts with understanding HIPAA and how these laws affect data transfer between patients and dental offices. This is an essential element in the digital space. Effective Digital Marketing should fundamentally include a functional and dynamic website with online scheduling. Also, a reviews generator program for best reviews and Google ranking, a social media element, and a search engine management effort. However, digital marketing isn't enough to keep a dental practice busy. In fact, digital marketing alone isn't enough to drive any brand long-term. DSOs who play in this realm solely will pay high Costs-Per-Thousands, and find it difficult to break through the clutter to build awareness and greater patient volume.

Building brand awareness through mass media.

For multiple offices or DSOs (Dental Service Organizations), there may be enough geographical coverage to merit mass media such as Broadcast Television, Cable Television, or Radio or outdoor. If a dental group can justify mass media, this level of advertising will serve as the basis for building brand awareness, which is the first step in reaching a large number of potential patients. Cable Television can target an audience with a smaller geographic zone and great targeting ability. Not all mass media has to be expensive or lend itself to wasted reach.
