Use your medical skills to draw attention to your veterinary services.
There are a variety of ways to promote your veterinary clinic, many cost only your time. When you are building a business, it is important to focus as much time and effort on marketing as possible. The advantage veterinarians have is that there are ways to promote their services that also offer value to the community.
Animal Shelters
Donate your time to helping out at local animal shelters, including participating in public events that the shelters hold. By having a presence with the local animal shelters, your veterinary clinic and services can become known in the local pet-owning community.
Open House
An open house invites pet owners see your facilities and ask you questions. At your open house you can meet potential clients, provide information on your services and give tours of your clinic. Have your staff on hand to take future appointments from pet owners who visit during the open house.
Flea-control Clinic
Each spring, conduct a flea-control clinic and treat pets against fleas for a reduced fee. Make the clinic a no-obligation event so people do not need to make appointments. Be sure to supply each pet owner with information about the product you used and information about your clinic.
