Webinar July 8 – Case Studies to Drive Cash Flow

Etna has partnered with Catherine Maley of Cosmetic Image Marketing to produce a truly compelling new Webinar. Just a week away, the Webinar is a one hour session that reveals 6 real-world examples of how marketing can improve your bottom line.

In a session entitled How to Keep the Cash Flowing – Case Studies in Elective Surgery, Catherine and I will each present 3 examples of small projects that delivered big returns. These aren’t abstract ideas; each case study delivers real-world facts and figures about the client, the marketing tactic, the method of implementation, and the quantifiable results.

Paying Patients for Testimony – New York Times Coverage

In case you missed the June 26 piece in The New York Times, take a moment now to read Coming Soon to YouTube: My Face-Lift.

The timing on the piece is a bit eerie, coming just two days after I distributed our video newsletter warning against compensating patients for positive reviews.

The message in the Times piece is clear — buyers beware, doctors are paying patients for glowing online reviews, reviews that in many cases are false, fraudulent, or misleading.

Wait a minute, where have we heard that phrase before? Oh, that’s right, virtually every state in the nation has a statute or regulations prohibiting licensed doctors from engaging in advertising that is false, fraudulent, or misleading. Many states prohibit testimonial advertising altogether. Still others expressly prohibit offering compensation for patient endorsements. Not sure about your state’s stance on offering compensation for testimonials? We’ve assembled a quick list of links where you can find your state’s medical marketing laws.
