Postcard Marketing Success For Dentists

By /
fill your waiting room using postcard marketing

Does 57 new patients a quarter or $100,000 in new revenue sound good to be true?

It’s understandable – those are HUGE numbers. But, postcard marketing can achieve some amazing results for dental businesses. Because it’s no easy task, we have some simple tips to marketing your office the right way!

1. Choose the format that fits your business

Larger-sized postcards – 5.5 x 8.5 or 6 x 11 – are most effective for dentists. They stand out boldly in the mailbox, with plenty of room to display:

  • Smiling images that make people smile back
  • Benefits of choosing your practice
  • Description of the products and services you offer
  • Contact Information
  • Locator map
  • Your special offer(s)

Combined with the right layout and design, these elements establish you as a highly skilled, personable professional, instilling confidence in potential patients. That ensures the greatest response rate and highest ROI from your postcard marketing.  

2. Choose the right offer

Make sure you’re offering the right content for your audience and your product or service. Offering $5 off a root canal isn’t going to do anything but make people think how expensive dental work can be! If offering a discount, make sure it is meaningful.

3. Urgency

Between soccer practice and piano rehearsal, dental appointments can fall through the cracks. When you mail once a month to all residents within your service area – or a more narrowly targeted group if you’re a specialist — your postcard will be right at hand when your prospect is ready to call. Urgency and timing is what it’s all about.

4. Personalize

Your current and future patients love to feel remembered. Personalize to your audience or even your recipient. You and your service aren’t generic, so refuse to participate in generic marketing!

5. Test & Repeat

The one-and-done method never works. You should send out dental postcards, see how they perform and adjust your offers, design, and strategy.  Then send again and watch your results improve!

We know these postcard marketing tips work because we’ve used them with lots of dental offices just like yours.

Client Testimonial

“I had never conducted a direct mail marketing campaign before, so I really wasn’t sure how to go about getting things started. When I contacted Jill at Cactus Mailing Company, I only had a basic idea of what I wanted to do. With her help, the whole process was a lot easier than I thought it would be and my marketing campaign was a success. Cactus Mailing Company saved me about 1,000 dollars per mailing and helped successfully target drops that yielded more than 10% return each.”

  • 1. Postal Delivery and Handling:

    Cactus Mailing has no control over the U.S. Postal Service. When we deliver a client’s mailing to the post office it is inspected for proper preparation and if approved is accepted into the mail delivery stream. Cactus Mailing will upon request provide the client a copy (in pdf format) of the 3600-R for First Class Mail or 3602-R for Standard Mail. This document originates from the US Postal Service’s Postal One website and is often referred to as a “postage receipt” or “receipt of mailing”. Client agrees that this document shall constitute proof of delivery and that Cactus Mailing has completed its obligation and has no further obligation or liability for the mailing. Client understands that there is always a possibility that the U.S. Postal Service will delay, damage, or lose mail. Under no circumstance will Cactus Mailing be held responsible for delays in delivery, damage to the mail pieces, or loss of mail after it has been accepted by the Post Office.

    Mail Tracking is accomplished by embedding a code in the barcode of each mail piece which is then scanned at various stages throughout the mail delivery process. As the Postal Service does not always scan every piece at every location - The client acknowledges that Cactus Mailing is not responsible for missed scans, incomplete data, inaccurate reports, late deliveries or lost mail and that all contact with the Post Office regarding delivery issues is the responsibility of the client.

    Cactus Mailing at its sole discretion may opt to use shipping, transportation, and or delivery methods other than the Postal Service. This is typically referred to as "drop shipping" and any postage savings resulting from drop shipping will be retained by Cactus Mailing as these savings are taken into account when providing prices and quotes for our products and services.

  • 2. EDDM Mailings:

    For EDDM mailings the Postal Service does not issue a postage receipt (3600-R or 3602-R) as the mail pieces are shipped directly to the destination post office(s) for delivery. For EDDM projects Cactus Mailing will upon request provide the delivery confirmation for the shipment of the mail pieces to the post office(s) and client agrees that these delivery confirmations will constitute proof of delivery and that Cactus Mailing has completed its obligation and has no further obligation or liability for the mailing.

  • 3. Response to Mailings:

    Cactus Mailing does not guarantee response rates to mailings. Any response rates discussed by Cactus Mailing, its Employees, contained in its marketing material, or on its website, are only projections of potential response rates. Absolutely no refunds will be given based on low or no response rates.

  • 4. Digital Marketing - Impressions:

    Digital display advertising impressions are obtained/purchased through an auction process - Cactus Mailing has no control over the auction process and the resulting cost of ad impressions. If Cactus Mailing at its sole discretion determines that the cost of ad impressions is higher than anticipated, then Cactus Mailing may opt to reduce the number of impressions and issue a prorated refund to the client or extend the end date of the campaign until ordered number of impressions are fulfilled.

  • 5. Quotations:

    Prices obtained from Cactus Mailing are subject to change without notice. Cactus Mailing reserves the right to end any special offers, incentives, or pricing at any time.

  • 7. Payment Terms:

    Cactus Mailing typically requires payment in full via credit card or wire transfer at the time the order is placed. Cactus Mailing at its sole discretion may offer terms in which a down payment is accepted with the remainder of the project to be paid on a “pay-as-you-go” basis in which the remaining amounts owed are divided by the number of mail-outs the campaign/order is for. Client agrees that the portion due for the next mail-out will be charged to the credit card on file 7 to 10 days before the mail-out is scheduled to be delivered to the post office. Client also authorizes that if the client cancels the project prior to completion, that all remaining amounts due for the project (excluding postage) are due immediately and will be charged to the credit card on file.

  • 8. Order Cancellation:

    Orders may be canceled by notice in writing or via e-mail. It is the client’s responsibility to confirm Cactus Mailing has received the order cancellation notification.

For orders cancelled greater than 15 days after the date the order was placed, but before the client approves their design proof, the client will receive a credit on account based on the order amount minus the cost for any work already performed plus an order cancellation fee of $150 or 15% of the project total whichever is greater. Credits on account may be used within 180 days from the date of issue. For projects cancelled after the client approves their proof the balances of the project (excluding postage) shall be due immediately and charged to the client’s credit card on file.

If the client does not mail within 90 days the project is deemed cancelled and subject to the order cancellation terms of Section 8.

Cactus Mailing will not give refunds and/or credit as a result of unforeseen delays that affect the project schedule.
