When marketing to patient-consumers, there are many potential touch points. In addition to email, social media and various digital channels, in-office marketing and merchandising remains one of the best ways to capture and retain sales. Here are some best practices.
Good in-office marketing can boost product sales by 20% or more. Think about the patient journey and take a look at your clinic space for all marketing opportunities. Where is there room to promote your brand?

Do you have brand signage? Is there an area for a full-sized poster or other large-scale marketing tools?
Entry Way

The installation of your logo and shelving – at eye level – can be a draw for all who enter. Consider testers and/or samples, shelf talkers and other visual cues like skincare categories (ie: sun care, brightening, post procedure/highly sensitive, staff recommendations, etc) to encourage self-shopping. An ideal scenario places these near a team member who can speak to these products, enabling stronger sales.
