Make your patient newsletters earn a living

Here are some top tips:

1. Send by email – print media is dead.

2. Send monthly – less frequently and you will not get noticed.

3. Avoid jargon and clinical stuff – people don’t care how much you know.

4. Talk about your team – include examples of what they are up to, professionally and personally.

5. Talk about your patients (with consent) – include examples of how your treatment has changed patients’ lives for the better.

6. Talk about your CSR – if you do raise money for charity or volunteer – make a fuss.

7. Include downloadable information (white papers) – make sure that you feature a free download in every issue.

8. Include links to your web site.

9. Make the newsletter share-able – make it easy for readers to send copies or share on their social channels.

10. Talk about more than just dentistry – highlight interesting news about your post code.

11. Get the graphics right – make the design something you are proud of.
