Meeting With Us? Here’s What You Can Do to Prepare

The McCauley Marketing Services team has evolved to serve mostly medical clients, for whom we provide services including websites, graphic design, copy writing, social media, and more. Our main goal is to help you develop and maintain a profitable business through the development of strategic marketing and public relations tactics. An important part of our ongoing client relationships are productive meetings–especially the ones early in our partnership. Below, you’ll find a few things we like to cover with new clients initially that can also be revisited at any time by our more seasoned accounts.

Goals:

Ask yourself or your team: what do you want to see happen with your marketing in correlation to your business growth? Consider both short- and long-term goals before our meeting. Rather than vaguely stating that you’d like to see more patients, be specific. For example, we may pose questions to gauge if you’re aiming to see a 5% increase in patients over the next six months, or want to get to 1,000 fans that truly have the potential to turn into clients or patients on social media by the end of the year. By being specific, we can make sure we are satisfying your ideal outcomes that you had in mind when you hired us as your marketing team.

Team:

Though the most effective marketing results are certainly team generated, if you have more than one go-to person managing edits and changes to marketing efforts, you goals will either not be reached or be severely stalled. Have one key point of contact to manage the input from your entire time to streamline the process.

Budget:

Be clear and realistic with what you are willing and able to spend. To work with you on the development of a marketing strategy, we want to do all we can within a budget to reach your goal. As a small, tight-knit agency, your budget is irrelevant to us pertaining to how much money we receive from you. Rather, the focus on resources we can utilize to produce the best results and achieve your goals and profits you desire.

Target Market:

Take the time to lay out for us your ideal patient or client who you see most within your practice, as well as who you’d like to see more of. This is extremely important when developing your strategy. If your practice sees many young people, focusing heavily on social media will reach a good percentage of them. On the other hand, if you see mostly seniors, a mix of marketing tools and tactics will likely be more effective.

It’s also very helpful when our clients disclose their strengths and weaknesses so that we may focus on each accordingly. If you’re interested in starting the journey to effectively marketing your business with us, contact us today.  Be sure to connect with us on Facebook, Twitter, and Google+.
