Anchor8 Marketing Essentials For Physical Therapists

Today’s PT practice (or any healthcare provider) needs to consider 8 essentials to produce measurable ROI with their marketing budget:

  1. Competitive Intelligence
  2. Strategic and Tactical Marketing Plan
  3. Website with strategic content managed and optimized for local search
  4. Physican marketing materials
  5. Advertising Plan
  6. Graphic design and copywriting
  7. Referral Marketing System
  8. Professionally trained marketing support or staff

Most businesses use many different vendors for these services, and usually without a coordinated plan. In today’s world this old-school approach is way to expensive and too hard for most providers to manage. For a single location, using the old-school approach, just the marketing staff alone will be a budget-breaker. But what if you could get all 8 essentials for less than $1,000 a month, manage it in less than 2 hours a month, with a guaranteed ROI?
