Message Marketing

Email marketing is not dead! It’s an older, proven tactic for reaching your target audience but one that should be looked at as a single tool in the “internal marketing toolbox.” Leveraging email and text message marketing in tandem ensures your message stays consistent and you reach more of your target market.

Benefits of Email Marketing & Text Message Marketing

  • Very low cost compared to advertising
  • Helps you stay top of mind with your prospects and patients
  • Educates your audience and highlights your expertise
  • Showcases the doctor and staff’s personality
  • Promotes limited-time specials
  • Generates RSVPs for upcoming events 
  • Re-engages leads that were not ready to book
  • Drives more traffic to your website
  • Helps generate more online reviews

According to a study by Mail Chimp, the Beauty & Personal Care industry saw a 16.55% email open rate over the past few years.

SMS/MMS messages have open rates closer to 100%. Despite the discrepancy in open rates, both tactics matter and work best when done in tandem.

You Own Your List

The great thing about email and text message marketing is that you are reaching a “warm” audience of people who know you and you own the list.

So the margins are very high since there’s very little cost to get in front of this audience. Social media marketing is another internal marketing tactic that can compliment email and text message marketing, but you don’t own your list of followers, the social platforms do! 

Different Types of Email and Text Message Marketing Campaigns

  • Specials and promos
  • Newsletters/educational
  • Promote events
  • Review requests
  • Showcase awards, expertise, or social proof 
  • Drip/automated followup campaigns

What Makes ADvance Media’s Email and Text Message Marketing Different?

There are several keys to success with email marketing and text message marketing that we focus on to drive results:

Strategic

Rather than just sending out emails, think about monthly or even bi-montly campaigns. These don’t need to be focused on sales or promos. The key is focusing on the message and objective for your campaign and then the tactics or mediums (email, SMS, MMS, social media, etc) vs. just “doing email marketing.” This is a mistake many practices make and it’s easily correctable.

Consistent

Communicate with your list regularly and with quality messaging (not just promos) and we will reduce the opt-outs.

Quality design

We want your brand to be well-reflected in all your campaigns, with an emphasis on quality, relevant images and videos along with compelling content.

Grow your list

Every new lead or prospect who has expressed any interest needs to be added to your list regularly.

Calls to action

We will send very clear next steps for anyone who engages with email or text messages. 

Segmentation

Don’t just send the same message to your entire list! Create unique messaging and campaigns for prospects vs. patients vs. VIPs. If we understand where each subscriber is in the awareness funnel we can tailor specific messages to them that’ll resonate more and drive more action.

Tracking

We will know the open rates and click rates for all emails so we can set benchmarks and compare different campaigns to see which are resonating more.

The great thing about email and text message marketing is that you own the list so the margins are very high since there’s very little cost to get in front of this audience. Social media is another internal marketing tool that can compliment email and text message marketing, but you don’t own your list of followers, the social platforms do!
