Marketing the wellness lifestyle is an immersive and complex process that we bring to our franchisees
How important is marketing to a chiropractic clinic? The same as any other business — very, but most doctors have little, if any, expertise in this area.
“When I first started practice, I was totally ignorant to what I needed to do to be successful when it came to marketing and creating awareness,” recalls founder, Dr. Joe Esposito. “Above and beyond basic operations, we have complex marketing and new-patient generation. We have to be experts in social media and digital ads. We have to put on webinars, classes, lectures and workshops. We have all these deliverables that have to be in place, and the average chiropractor with a single staff member does not have the expertise, time, or resources to handle all these job details.”
“That’s where AlignLife’s comprehensive marketing program comes in”, says Keri Quin, Marketing Director.
“A chiropractor told me that their marketing class in school consisted of, ‘Hey, do Facebook. It’s free.’ Nothing beyond that. The AlignLife marketing team not only builds the social strategy for our clinics, which means we work to position them as the health and wellness experts in their areas – but we also create everything from social media advertising to more granular elements of a package, such as brochures or fliers for every campaign we offer. We also combine one-time efforts with ongoing promotions on behalf of the entire AlignLife network of clinics.”
Customized programs allow for widespread community awareness
From social media programming, to providing professionally shot video footage, we do it all. Our franchisee’s patients and potential patients are exposed to great information from all sides, and the doctors don’t have to hire a whole team to do that for them.
The AlignLife marketing platform involves a three-pronged approach: digital, traditional and grassroots. By maximizing all three, the widest possible range of consumers in a territory can be reached.
Quin explains, “We’re going to analyze what, if anything, that doctor has done. If they haven’t held a workshop, we’ll help them learn how to do those. If they are doing workshops and not generating new patients, we’ll focus on that. Our goal is to take the many marketing strategies we have, adapt those to that clinic and that market, and then help raise awareness and convert prospects to patients.”
