VMP 253.5: Veterinary Marketing Costs On The Rise & How To Keep Growing

In this episode, we dive deep into the future of traffic and marketing in the veterinary industry. I had the pleasure of discussing this topic with Brandon Breshears, a seasoned marketer who shared his insights on the cycle of attention in marketing and how it applies to the veterinary industry. So, here's the deal. Every market experiences the emergence of a new medium that initially offers cheap attention and organic growth. In the past, this has been true for radio, TV, infomercials, and most recently, the internet. However, as these mediums stabilize, they inevitably become more expensive. Right now, the internet, especially platforms like Facebook and Google ads, provides a period of cheap traffic for businesses. It's been a game-changer, allowing veterinary hospitals to reach a wider audience without breaking the bank. But here's the catch - this trend won't last forever. As the internet continues to mature, traffic prices will increase, making it more difficult and expensive for businesses to stand out. So, what does this mean for veterinary hospitals? It means they need to focus on making their clients as valuable as possible. Attracting the right clients is important, but implementing retention tools is equally crucial. We're talking about having a support system in place, such as follow-up communication through email and text messages, to maximize revenue per customer. Now, I know this shift in the market may not be the most exciting prospect, but it's the reality we face. Businesses need to adapt to survive and thrive. My advice? Invest in your clients and build strong relationships to ensure their loyalty. Make them feel valued and appreciated, and they'll keep coming back, providing a steady stream of revenue. During our conversation, I also mentioned Russell Brunson, owner of ClickFunnels.com, as a marketer I enjoy listening to. His insights and strategies can provide valuable guidance for veterinary hospitals navigating the changing landscape of marketing. This episode was sponsored by Used Vet Equipment and New Vet Equipment, two websites that offer a range of veterinary equipment. They provide a valuable resource for veterinary hospitals looking to invest in their practices. In conclusion, the future of traffic and marketing in the veterinary industry will be challenging, but with the right strategies and tools, veterinary hospitals can navigate these changes successfully.
