1) Add Your Clinic to Online Directories

A great way to attract new business is to list your clinic on online directories, for example https://www.whatclinic.com and https://www.google.com/business/ this ensures that your clinic profile is introduced to local customers who are most interested in your services and likely to contact you to make an appointment.  

In addition to information about location, prices, and services offered, WhatClinic.com also shares client reviews and customer service details.

2) Create Packages  

Offering a special package deal will not only get existing clients to increase their frequency of treatments it will also help enhance their results. For instance, extend a discounted price (per unit) when Neurotoxin clients pre-pay for three treatments annually. This bundling tactic serves to make clients feel as though they are saving money while increasing their number of treatments.

3) Stock Medical Grade Skincare

This is an effective way to create a secondary income revenue stream and to ensure your clients maintain their results in between clinic treatments. You can read our tips on how to choose a portfolio of skincare brands for your clinic here, if you already stock products one way you can enhance client results is by enticing clients to address skin concerns with a comprehensive regimen, rather than a single product. This will help address multiple skincare concerns and enhance their overall outcome.

4) Refer-a-Friend Incentive

People are more likely to choose your business if they are referred to you by a trusted friend or family member. Use this knowledge to your advantage by offering loyal clients a discount on services, treatments, or products for every successful referral.
