Promote Downtime Procedures Now

Posted by: | Comments (0)

Since we bundle up against the cold in Winter, this is when you want to promote your higher-ticket surgical procedures. If there’s going to be bruising and swelling, your patients are more inclined to have it done when they can wear lots of clothes vs. having something done in the Summer and not being able to hide it. And, we all hibernate more during the colder months than the Summer months so use that to your advantage.

In your next newsletter, talk about what a great time it is for your patients to consider surgery now. Remind them that facelift patients can wear turtlenecks and liposuction patients can wear pants.   That could be just what they needed to jump off the fence and say YES.

Here’s a quick exercise that puts aesthetic marketing in perspective.  Open your surgery schedule and look at the last 30 – 100 surgeries you performed and ask yourself this:

Where did those surgical patients come from?

Did they come from your Website?

From your printed ad?

From another patient who referred them?

From a current patient who’s ready for more?

The last survey I did with my physicians they told me that, without fail, at least 70% of the surgeries they performed came from current patients and their referrals.

Then I have to ask, why wouldn’t you, in turn, spend 70% of your resources on your current patients who return and refer?

Don’t you think you’d get a better return?

Who Gets Plastic Surgery and Why

Posted by: | Comments (0)

I recently read an article that includes statistics on who gets plastic surgery, and why.  It is a great reminder that the aesthetic practice is not just selling a procedure, they are selling hope for a better feeling future.  Patients want to feel better about themselves, they want to look in the mirror and no longer dislike a part of what they see. They believe revising, rejuvenating or renovating something that bothers them about their appearance will make them feel better and increase self-esteem. So, in essence, they are buying hope from aesthetic physicians. Hope they will get the result they want and hope they will feel better.  To learn more about the aesthetic patient,  read my book
