As anyone in the healthcare industry can confirm: there just aren’t enough hours in the day. And as a health professional, your first priority is your patients or clients. You probably know that you should be marketing…but you just don’t have the time.
Lucky for you, there is a way to do both. Emails aren’t just useful for sending out appointment reminders – using Constant Contact you can set up email templates in advance to send out to new or returning patients, without having to do any additional work. For busy health professionals, anything you can set and forget is the perfect marketing strategy.

Making a little effort in your email goes a long way. Automated emails, like those above, see a 70.5% higher open rate than standard newsletter emails. Leveraging your current patients’ satisfaction translates into more new patients at the end of the day.
