🦷 The 5 Most Effective Ways to Reactivate Former Patients
How often do you think about your former patients? Maybe do so more often as this is important to your practice growth. These people already know, like, and trust your practice — but for one reason or another, just haven’t scheduled in a while.
The good news?
Reactivating these patients is the easiest and cheapest way to grow. Here’s how to do it:
- Offer a bonus incentive for their next visit
Whether it’s $50 off or a free whitening pen — give them a reason to say yes now. - Send a personal text message
Not a complicated blast. Just a simple, “We miss seeing you. Want to grab a spot this week?” - Run a reactivation email campaign
Make it fun, playful, or caring. Speak from the heart. One great subject line we’ve seen work:
“Still got that same smile?” - Create a themed campaign
Holidays like Valentine’s Day, Easter, or even Back-to-School season are great excuses to reach out with a timely offer. - Raffle off a prize for appointments booked
“Book this month, and you’re entered to win a $100 Amazon gift card.”
Boom. Done!
