Ads that consistently drove in new patients mind you.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 class=\"wp-block-heading\">What Was The Solution?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The key was using what was real to the patients in our ads. I found this out by talking to the patients in the office and discovered they were not impressed by the machine not one bit. They just wanted to know if we could help them with the pain. What was real to them was the pain.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">So instead of writing ads about the modalities we offered, we wrote ads that used the words that they used. \u201cBone-on-Bone Knee Pain\u201d, \u201cStiffness in the Knees\u201d, \u201cUnable to Play with My Grandkids\u201d, and wouldn\u2019t you know it people started responding to the ads in droves. We call it, \u201cPainting the Pain.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s all about how you communicate and how you can reach the person on the other end of the ad. If you\u2019re going to connect with new patients, you have to speak their language. They only care about one thing, and if you speak to that one thing, you\u2019ll have their attention.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I cover this in my e-book Chiropractors: 16 Rules for Facebook Marketing Success along with 15 other key points that have proven successful in attracting a consistent flow of qualified new patients. In it you can find the answers on how to adjust your ads to enable the best results for you and your practice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s free and its my way of helping docs use Facebook to market their practices and help people find the care they need.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>One of the big rookie mistakes I made early on in Facebook marketing was trying to tell patients how awesome the doctor was, how cool the new laser was, or trying to convince them how we were different than everyone else.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":461,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[6,15,25,30],"class_list":["post-463","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-chiropractic","tag-16-rules","tag-facebook-ads","tag-marketing-tactics","tag-practice-growth"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/thecustomerfactory.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/463","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/thecustomerfactory.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/thecustomerfactory.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thecustomerfactory.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thecustomerfactory.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=463"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/thecustomerfactory.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/463\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thecustomerfactory.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/461"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/thecustomerfactory.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=463"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thecustomerfactory.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=463"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/thecustomerfactory.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=463"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
