1-800-DENTIST’s New Report Reveals Marketing Gap Between Office Managers and Dentists
Los Angeles – 1-800-DENTIST®, the nation’s premier dental marketing company, has released a new free whitepaper, “A Practice Divided: How Office Managers and Dentists View Marketing Differently.” The report is based on a recent survey of over 1,700 dentists and office managers nationwide.
Co-sponsored by the American Association of Dental Office Managers (AADOM), “A Practice Divided” reveals the four hidden disconnects in most dental practices - particularly when it comes to evaluating which marketing and communication technologies and techniques are most effective with patients. Office managers and dentists gave surprisingly different answers when asked about the importance of digital marketing techniques like websites, social media, reviews and more.
“One of the most surprising findings was that office managers and dentists often have different perceptions of what is currently being done in their practice,” said Michael Turner, CEO of 1-800-DENTIST. “In many cases the practice has much more of a presence online than the dentist realizes.”
Most importantly, the report offers practical strategies that help dentists and office mangers work better together to improve the performance of their most important marketing assets – including offering guidelines for how to communicate front office insight to the dentist, and incorporate it into the business decisions of the practice.
“Office managers and dentists serve very different roles in the practice and it makes sense they would have distinct points of view,” added Turner. “This report offers a framework for sharing information and bridging the marketing gap within in the practice.”
The new report is the latest in a series of dental marketing whitepapers published by 1-800-DENTIST over the last year. These free resources are offered to complement the company’s full suite of marketing products, which offers solutions for every aspect of dental practice growth.
