5. Franklin Street
As members of the same industry, chiropractors and other healthcare professionals face many of the same struggles when it comes to marketing their businesses. That why we love healthcare brand consultancy Franklin Street’s oft-updated blog on healthcare marketing trends. While the occasional topic may not apply to your chiropractic practice, the vast majority of entries will. Why?
Because marketing across all healthcare professions boils down to one core concept: understanding and engaging patients. Whether you’re looking to drive ROI by building an integrated digital campaign or for tips on how to overcoming the “social media scarries,” there’s no shortage of relevant, actionable advice here for the taking.
Perhaps one Science-Based Medicine article put it best in declaring, “It’s tough to be a chiropractor.” More specifically, the piece is talking about the challenges of making it as a chiropractor. Its assertion? “Because of low demand and market oversaturation, many practices fail.” But you don’t have to end up on the wrong side of the statistics.
By staying up on the latest practice-building marketing and business strategies, you can not only keep your chiropractic practice afloat while others are sinking, but you can set yourself up for smooth sailing in the direction of a bright future.
