Many of the orthodontists and dentists that work with Engage have an extensive database of e-mail addresses from previous visits. This is a low-hanging fruit you shouldn’t be ignoring.
Let's talk about how you can use calibrated e-mail marketing within your practice to grow your revenue.
Calibrated e-mail marketing is powerful. Consider these three ways doctors grow their practices:
1. They sell more
2. They increase their prices
3. They upsell their existing clients
E-mail can help you to acquire new patients and upsell existing patients that might need a new service.
Pro- tip: Leverage your e-mail campaigns to stay on top of the mind of your clients. Only 3% of the market you reached was ready to purchase at the moment of your first touchpoint.

Here are 3 things you should be doing in regards to e-mail to grow your practice.

This is why we encourage you to press the “send” button. You’ll have the opportunity to do better. When you have the results of your first e-mail, it’s time to review performance, recalibrate and send the following e-mail.
