SMS for clinics, hospitals, and medical centers. How to use them?
A well-planned strategy for SMS marketing will allow you to keep your patients happy, bring new people who want to join the hospital, and will also help in bringing order in your institution.
These are only some examples of how to use SMS in medical sectors:
- Confirmation, cancellation, and appointment reminders. These are the most effective ones, as they allow you to keep an organized agenda. For example, “your appointment with doctor Juan Perez for 27/07 at 14 hs in medical center Milende was confirmed”. If you need confirmation from the patient, you can add a call to action with a link or ask them to answer YES/No.
- Notification of medical trial or analysis pick up. Patients will see it as a perk to be notified so they don’t have to call and ask. You can even include a link that takes them to download the studies.
- Communication between patients and doctors. This can be useful for patients who are following a special treatment and have doubts. For example, “do you have questions about your treatment? Answer this message Yes/No and a specialist will answer”.
- Promotions or special offers. Invitations to events or company activities. This type of SMS is used by medical centers that focus on beauty treatments, pero some ophthalmologists and other specialists also use them. As an example, “only in July, 10% discount on all your medical appointments for breat implants. Book your place”
- For internal communication between work partners, SMS can be used to confirm work appointments, patients that have one that day, important notices, and more.
