Greetings!
I get the Methodist Healthy Knowledge eNewsletter.
Last week's subject line: "It's as easy as ordering a Happy Meal!"
Methodist offers drive-thru flu shots. It's quick. It's
easy. It's convenient.
1. Drive up
2. Complete the
consent form
3. Pay $22 (cash or
check)
4. Stick your arm
out
5. Receive a flu
shot
You know how I feel about using McDonald's analogies as part of your marketing (hint for new subscribers: I love it! - seriously, who hasn't heard of a Happy Meal? Everyone can relate.)
What do YOU do (make/provide/sell) that's as easy as ordering a Happy Meal?

Allied Health Promotions Tip #2
|
 This week's tip is #2 in a ten part series that is brought to you by Bill McClellan of P&O Care and the author of the CareDigest Blog.
Don't Waste Anyone's Time
Healthcare practices are very busy, and you might be
resented if you contribute to making patients wait to see their practitioner. It's
fine to show up unannounced; sometimes you can visit more places in less time this
way. But if you don't have an appointment, you must be willing to leave
something behind, ask graciously for a call-back number, or try to find out
when would be a good time to return. If your contact has time to talk,
don't stick around for more than a friendly hello and 15-20 second
summary of why you are there this time. Bring a newsletter or brochure with
you, maybe some pens or tape measures, and ask if he or she has any questions
or feedback. If you want, see if there might be a better time to come back and
give a more thorough presentation. If you can get in and out in less than 1
minute, more power to you. In the unlikely event that your contact isn't
busy, chewing the fat a little while won't hurt at all.

If you missed the newsletter on squeeze pages email me and I'll send it to you or click here to read why you need to squeeze. They get Star #2 for using their very own publication - Mac McClellan, CPO/LPO, FISPO wrote a book entitiled "To Walk Again" - to get me to let them squeeze me. Two of the top marketing techniques you can use are speaking (inservices, presentations, etc.) and writing (books, white papers, how to guides, etc.)

I can't wait to see what type of prosthetic components they are going to use on NCIS in November.
I told you they used a C-leg on an episode of Brothers & Sisters last week.
Guesses anyone?
Email them to me and if you're right - you'll win a fabulous AskElizabeth.net "got buzz?" baseball hat.
