lets push it

Mobile app marketing & the simple solution of push notifications.

 

Many business owners don’t realise how a self branded mobile app, can help their business to grow and thrive.


A common misconception we often hear is : “I have a web site already, so I don’t think we need this”.

 

That’s great you already have your website running, we can use this information.

 

Lets think about how you connect to your customers.


This is most commonly done via social media and email marketing. So how do they see what you have to share and offer? Do you have to wait for them to see or find your posts, check their email inboxes or search for you on the internet? What do your site analytics say about this?

 

By leaving it up to the customer you are already reducing your ability to convert sales, service bookings and engage your intended audience.

These are indirect marketing tools and your business is reliant on the customer doing the hard work to find you.

 

But how would an app change this?

 

Simply. Push Notifications.

 

Imagine capturing your audience, sharing what you want to share, when you want to share it – and hold the phone – they see it!!! What? No! Really? It must be magic!

Well it’s not really magic but its super effective and your marketing efforts will be rewarded!!


The simple event of sending a push notification to your customers (clients or members), can include anything from an alert of a cool new app feature or content, to a special on those amazing doughnuts, to a discount for a last minute booking or appointment or sharing your big event.

 

The world is your push notification oyster!

 

You can even link your special, deal, event, notices or image to a feature in your app. For example, publicise your upcoming function with a direct link to your event listing and voila easy bookings are made quickly and effortlessly.

 

We are living in a digital society where it is paramount that what is required of the customer results in an efficient, easy transactions to reflect the value of their time, energy and finances. Reward the customer with simplicity and they will reward you with loyalty and referrals.

Top 5 Reasons your health practice needs an Mobile App Access to your patients at the touch of a button - send push notifications direct to their pocket Save admin time, book, contact and connect on the go Extend patient health care experience with accessible ongoing reference information Patient reassurance, retention & clinic sharing Invest in your patients by showing you respect their time. As a society, Allied health has become an integral part of our personal health plans. With an ever increasing number of health clinics, professionals and services opening up their doors, adapting and providing additional levels of service and simplifying how patients interact with your business is critical. Future Proofing your business and implementing a strong digital strategy will ensure your business not only sets itself apart from the crowd but also extends into the future. For practitioners, providing a comprehensive treatment plan and ongoing support after the patient walks out the door, is what will keep them coming back. Going one step further, creating a system that enables easy bookings and accessibility to the clinic or practitioner allows the patient to have total re-assurance in their care plan. This results in client retention and more referrals. Many Allied Health and Natural Health providers have onsite treatment plans, often with take home exercises or plans. Locating generic plans or notes on an app gives your practitioners a resource to refer to, reduces repetitive time consuming duplication and is a reliable easy to access tool for the patient. Show your patients you care about their time. When a patient needs to see a practitioner they already know its going to take a lot of time out of their busy day. As a clinic, you don’t want to add to the stress and pressure a patient is already under with their injury or ailment, by making the process complicated. Now is the time to adapt and future proof your business and invest in your patients.
