  1. How Texting Is Changing Business

  2. In the past, businesses seeking to reach out to current and potential clients had to rely on traditional marketing means such as flyers, brochures, and mainstream media. With the advent of the Internet, other forms of communication, such as email marketing and social media, came up. Thanks to the increased uptake of smartphones, texting has emerged as yet another powerful communication channel. As a practice owner looking to gain traction and attract paying patients, texting should be on your communication channels list. Did you know that text messages or texting is the most commonly used smartphone feature? Numerous reputable studies have shown that texting is the most preferred form of communication among Americans younger than 50. Statistic Brain reports that 301,312 texts are sent every second in the United States. In addition, the Pew Research Center revealed that 97 percent of smartphone owners text regularly. These staggering numbers point to the extensive possibilities and opportunities that become available to any business or practice that adopts business texting as a communication mode. How To Leverage Texting For Your Practice As marketing transitions into the digital age, communication with patients has transitioned from fax and calls to emails and texts. As this becomes more apparent, having the right systems in place can open up your business to unlimited growth potential. As far as dental offices and other healthcare providers, texting can help you maintain the all-important rapport and open communication lines between you and your patients. After all, you want to be in touch with your patients when they need you and send necessary information in a timely fashion without worrying about being lost in the spam folder.

  3. Communication in a medical practice can be grouped into three broad categories: • Appointment reminders • Appointment confirmation • Patient recall As a dental or medical practice owner, you already know that your marketing messages are only useful if they reach the intended audience. Research shows that email open rates are at an unimpressive low of 20%, while SMS open rates are as high as 98%. What’s more, most people respond to a text message within 90 seconds while email responses take as long as 90 minutes. While emails remain a hugely popular channel to reach your patients, it’s clear that text messages are more effective in terms of bypassing the noise and delivering your message directly to your audience.
