Branding in its broadest sense is what you want your business, your team, and yourself to represent to the world. When done so intentionally and mindfully, branding can allow you to set your business above the rest and define its goals. Properly executed branding can make your clients and the public develop a loyalty to your business and help it thrive far into the future. Historically, however, dental practices have not done much in terms of branding. Generic, underwhelming branding has been the trend in this sector for years, but that does not mean you should continue in this trajectory. Develop your dental practice brand and reap the rewards it can bring.
Developing Your Dental Practice Brand
There are a number of ways that you can develop your dental practice brand strategically and effectively. It can also help you focus on the goals and operation of your business. For instance, have you considered what services your practice will offer? Determining your scope of services is important to focus your practice and also develop your practice’s brand. If you are going to offer specialized services, this could be a great angle for separating your practice from others nearby. Are you going to offer cosmetic dentistry? Orthodontics? Let your patients and prospective patients know! Highlight your knowledge, experience, and expertise in these specialized fields. In doing so, you can work on targeting the right audience who would be looking for such services.
Many people do not like going to the dentist. It is a necessary evil and an inconvenience. A great angle in branding your dental practice is then, to focus on how your practice minimizes this inconvenience. Take down this obstacle by emphasizing how convenient going to the dentist can be. Do you offer extended hours that go beyond traditional working hours and accommodate the busy schedules of patients working the 9-5 life? Can patients schedule online without needing to make that dreaded scheduling phone call? These are seemingly small things that will end up drawing people to your practice. They see a recognition of making their lives easier and this is how you build brand loyalty.
Do you use new technologies and implement practices that show a commitment to providing consistently quality care? This is something else to incorporate into your brand. With things like advances in x-ray and other imaging technology, you should let your patients and prospective patients know that you are committed to keeping up with the times to make sure they get the best of the best in dental care. Branding as a modern practice committed to putting patients first is a great thing to incorporate into your brand.
