How To Tap The ‘New Mover’ Market

New movers have always been a source of good, solid new business for my SofTouch Dental offices.

In fact, there’s not a week that goes by that I don’t talk to a client or new, prospective client, about marketing to New Movers.

A while back I gave the following information out when marketing to new movers…I follow this exact strategy for not just my clients, but for SofTouch Dental, too.

Here are 7 things you MUST do correctly for your New Mover Marketing program to succeed…

1.) NEVER use a “new list.” Rent the names that are at least 4 months old, preferably 6 months or more, all the way back to 1 year! Especially now, since most new movers are not getting the advertisements they were 1 year or 2 years ago. You’ll be almost all by yourself!

2.) ALWAYS use a hand-addressed envelope!

3.) ALWAYS use a First Class “Love” Stamp or similarly interesting “personal” stamp. Commemorative stamps work best. That way, it doesn’t smack of “bulk” mail.

4.) ALWAYS include an offer, a “grabber” and a tight deadline. There are 100s of things you could do to make your envelope dimensional – like 3-D mail.

5.) NEVER mail just one time. Mail at least three times (unless the first was a bomb and did not provide ANY new patients)

6.) TEST the following: mail ½ of your list with just a return address. Mail the OTHER ½ of the list using your name AND return address.

7.) AVOID using labels if at all possible. Hand-written envelopes are best and most effective.

BONUS: #8.) On the 2nd and 3rd mailings, use stickers or stamps to indicate, “Second Notice” and “Final Notice.”
