Strengthen Client Loyalty

"The connection between the veterinarian and client is the thread that weaves client satisfaction and a

successful practice together. It's what makes clients

feel loyal,

follow instructions,

pay their bills on time,

forgive mistakes,

feel confidence about your competence and

send friends to your practice."

-- Carin Smith, DVM in

Client Satisfaction Pays: Quality Service for Practice Success

Building Client Loyalty  through a Practice Newsletter: Luckily, by using low-cost, online tools, veterinarians can automate client connection and rapport. Pet owners can sign up for your practice newsletter at the reception desk simply by providing their email. More exciting, email newsletters generally come with a "forward" button at the very top so readers can quickly send your information to friends and family. 

Your practice newsletter with custom content can:

*  spotlight a staff member, helping clients feel more comfortable with him or her;

*  focus on cutting edge treatments and studies, broadcasting that you're current in cutting edge medical techniques

*  explain how to avoid common health threats

* spotlight certain clients and their medical struggles and successes

*  keep clients up to date on local animal-related events and even legislation

* share staff events like a graduation or new baby

Building Client Loyalty through a Practice Blog: Where a newsletter acts as practice envoy, going out to readers' inboxes, the blog lives on your website. The most successful blogs strike readers as down-to-earth diaries of the practice's principals. More, the blog, which is usually updated twice a week or more, keeps your clients up-to-date on your clinics events, animals that may be available for adoption or your responses to breaking news.
