Have you ever received a text message? Statistics say 90% of all text messages are read. Now that’s powerful!
What if you are a doctor, and it’s flu season. You send a text message to your patients that this Saturday you are holding a flu shot clinic.
- No office visit or copay needed.
- $20 covers the shot and they’re in and out in 5 minutes.
You could send out messages that you’re holding a discounted sports physical clinic. “Bring a friend and your cost is half price”. Maybe that will increase your patient base.
Maybe you could provide a monthly or bi-weekly health tip!
There is a lot of power in text message marketing.
