1. Be more effective No matter how large or small your practice, you have a finite amount of resources to grow your business. Marketing automation enables you to squeeze more juice out of the hours available by reducing repetitive tasks and scheduling your marketing in advance. 2. Higher patient satisfaction When you replace manual repetitive work with automated marketing campaigns, you naturally free up your staff’s time to focus on servicing patients. The more time focused on the patient experience, equals higher patient satisfaction. 3. Target patients across multiple media One of the powerful benefits that marketing automation offers is the ability to reach your patients across different online and offline media channels. For example, by having prescheduled direct mail as well as custom audiences scheduled to receive Facebook ads you’re now able to target past patients via print and social media with ease. 4. Refine your marketing processes Running a practice that has marketing systems in place makes it easy to hone in on what’s working, and what’s not, easily repeating marketing actions that were successful. Howmuch easier would your monthly marketing be when there’s no need to re- invent the wheel because you have processes in place that work month after month?
