Internet Marketing
More and more people are getting their
information from the Internet. Constantly, doctors without an Internet
presence are considered "behind the times" by a lot of
people, especially younger patients. Even if you don't get a direct
referral from the Internet, having a website gives your patients an easy way to get
more information about your office, and is also something they can
conveniently refer others who want to get
familiar with your practice.
The other key advantage of being on the Internet
is that you can actively use your email and
website to market directly to your patients. Email has become one of the
most common means of communication; think about all the people you know
who forward emails that interest them to family and friends. You probably do
this yourself! Now think of the potential patients that could result from
sending emails to your existing ones.
To have an effective Internet presence, you want a thorough and complete website that is a
useful resource
for your patients, not just a site with a few of your pictures. It is vital that
your patients like your site enough to want to visit
frequently, or they will
not refer others to your site.

offers dentists a variety of resources for website design that are rich
in content, with hundreds of articles, brochures and links; you can use these to
create a website that will be the only dental resource your patients need. This
kind of website will significantly impact how your patients view your
practice, as well as how many people they refer to your office.

practice, take a look at the samples in
