Dental Marketing: An example how to prepare affiliate promotion
It is an example how to attract new patients, using a partnership rather than traditional advertising: In the six stores of one city every buyer issued certificates, giving a substantial discount on only one service - ultrasonic cleaning of teeth. We selected a network of shops, which are very high permeability, and so in the past month 6,000 certificates were issued. After the action for six weeks were about 200 brand new customers. Our costs were only for printing certificates and posters for the shop. When we summed up, they were simply amazed: the action has paid off several times. About a third of customers immediately took advantage and signed up for our other services (treatment, prosthetics and implantation). Compared to advertising, which previously invested a lot of money, affiliate campaign brought a huge amount of new customers and, unlike advertising, gave us a good profit. "
