Hey doc, let me ask you a question.
As a regenerative medicine practice owner, do you feel like you’re truly tapping into the full potential of your clinic?
Sure, social media management and hiring a digital marketing agency to run ads and generate leads might keep things ticking over, but is it helping you scale, or are you just treading water?
These efforts might keep your practice afloat, but you need to outperform the competition to make waves.
If this scenario sounds all too familiar, you might fall prey to common marketing missteps.
Common Regenerative Marketing Mistakes That Hamper Your Practice’s Growth
There’s ample competition out there. But to cut through the noise, you need a solid blueprint that’s strategic and forward-looking. If you make the following mistakes—ones I often see practitioners make-you’ll stay stuck in the sea of sameness.
For more clarity, watch my complete guide where I share a real case of a regenerative medicine marketing making these exact mistakes and how my team and I helped them escape this rabbit hole.
The Trust Gap
Trust is the fundamental pillar of every activity—your regenerative marketing, your practice, and care delivery. Unfortunately, consumer trust, which is an indispensable part of every business, has been declining over the years. Currently, it’s at the lowest it’s ever been. If you don’t have intentional and thoughtful strategies in place to build trust, you’ll lag.
This is the number one mistake I often see offices make, causing them to sound and appear like everyone else. This lack of trust in your ad campaigns, messaging, and marketing materials fails to create authority and leadership, making your practice indistinguishable from the rest.
Lack of a Unique Selling Proposition (USP)
The trust gap highlights another critical element that can keep your practice stagnant and even deteriorate your progress: the absence of a clear and compelling USP (Unique Selling Proposition). Without a trust-building factor, likely, you haven’t developed a strong USP for your practice. A well-defined USP differentiates you from the competition, attracting new patients and retaining current ones. Without it, you risk blending into the background noise of the industry.
Ineffective Short Ads
Creating ads with the shortest copy doesn’t perform better. But the real question is why does this happen?
There’s a reason why trust was highlighted as a fundamental factor earlier. If your ads are short and you think they’re sweet, you need to rethink your marketing strategies. Short ads and copy do not provide enough information for potential patients to engage with your clinic. Moreover, with brief content, it’s impossible to tap into your potential patients’ emotional pain points and grab their attention.
Ads that are too concise fail to build a connection, leaving your audience without the crucial details needed to make an informed decision. Instead, focus on crafting compelling narratives that resonate with your audience’s needs and concerns.
Short & Spammy Funnels
If your sales funnel is short, expect your growth scale to be limited too. You may not like to hear this, but this is exactly what I’ve experienced in my practice, where I’ve had the privilege of helping 300+ practices grow remarkably. So, what is a short and seemingly spammy funnel?
A short sales funnel doesn’t include the necessary processes to qualify leads. There are no interviews, and no screening to dig deep into potential clients and qualify them to only bring highly motivated patients to your clinic. A short and undefined sales funnel doesn’t bring in qualified patients.
Even if it does, there’s always a high probability of a no-show rate. A short sales funnel lacks the processes to qualify leads and gauge their motivation level, the severity of their condition, and their financial strength. As a result, you attract all sorts of patients who may or may not be genuinely interested in availing of your services.
To ensure your funnel works effectively, include thorough screening and qualification steps to filter out unmotivated leads and focus on those who are truly interested in your services.
