Today’s Chiropractic Marketing Tip is all about using patient feedback to communicate effectively with your patients so that they pay, stay, and refer.
Here’s something you should do!…
Ask your ideal patients (those who pay, stay, and refer), what they like about your practice.
Basically, why they chose you over any other options. Ask them to come up with 3 reasons and/or benefits. Maybe type out the instructions on a half sheet of paper and give it to them.
Just do this one day with all your chiropractic patients. Dentists can do this too or therapists.
Take all the responses and come up with the 3 top commonalities amongst them all and use them when you communicate to your new patients, banners for promotions, window signage, business cards, etc.
And…don’t assume that the reason why your best patients come to you is the same reason why the best patients go to other Chiropractors. It will be different.

This information is priceless. It helps you attract patients who are a right fit for you based NOT necessarily on what you want them to hear, but rather what current and/or past patients have ALREADY TOLD YOU.
Then, craft your marketing messages accordingly. You always want to do more of what works and less of what doesn’t. This is impossible unless you know what is working and what your chiropractic (or dental) patients are thinking.
It’s like a focus group without the hassle. Or hiring a marketing company to do research…and you can get the answers to these questions in a few days and take action.
So what are you waiting for…don’t you want to know?
This post is actually a gem and we do this all the time at my clinics.
I’m not talking about formal surveys or email surveys or long surveys.
We just ask usually 1-3 questions. In this case it would be one question to our best patients. The ones that stay, pay, and refer:
Dear Patients,
We really appreciate you and would love it if you could help us to serve you better by listing the 3 things you like about us the most:
Then, we would take action to create more of these circumstances. It’s Golden! We would often give a $10 Starbucks card when they turned it in for good measure.
