Concise & Precise Design, Message


Two key rules for copywriting are critical for capturing the attention of your new Cosmetic Dentistry Practice patients.

A Clear, Bold Headline:


Keep your postcard headline short and simply effective. On the front of your postcard there should be one simple and central message that is the focus of the Cosmetic Dentistry marketing postcard campaign. The best way is to achieve this is with a bold and clear headline that’s not cluttered up with other text.

A good guideline is to have the headline fill up at least 15% of the front of the Cosmetic Dentistry Practice postcard.

Fewer words create higher impact. Imagine extra words costing you more in phone calls, other inquiries. Postcard headlines on the front like, ‘Johnson Family, Start Smiling Healthy!” gets your local Cosmetic Dentistry Practice patients attention.

This personalized printing concept, if combined with a visually appealing image that accents and supports the message will be a recipe of an excellent Cosmetic Dentistry Practice marketing postcard.

Perceptive Perspective: “Whats In It For Me” (W.I.I.F.M).


Look at your message from the new patient’s perspective. Rather than touting technical capabilities or announcing news presenting features, your Many Cosmetic Dentistry Practice must explain the benefits your patients will appreciate.

Imagine: If you were a patient calling in panic, or after they were not serviced correctly by other business, would you care about all the technical details or non-specific to them features in a piece of equipment? Maybe yes, but only if it means they can get their Cosmetic Dentistry Practice needs met faster, more conveniently, at better costs...

Get Them To Act: Effective Call To Action


Timeliness is the ticket to success to most all Cosmetic Dentistry Practice postcard marketing. Give your potential local patients a compelling reason to take action NOW, such as a discount or reward for responding by a deadline.

Make the postcard do double duty using as a coupon, event ticket or gift card that returns the patient to your business sooner rather than later, which also helps your Cosmetic Dentistry Practice measure its effectiveness.
