Your Recession Response

[Guest guest]

Starting a thread here and asking that we hear from rookies, veterans, geezers, and geeks.

Word on the street has it that they got a recession thing going.

-Cousin Wash Hogwallop from O’ Brother, Where Art Thou”

What are you doing intentionally to respond to a less than booming economy where chiropractic may fall from an essential to a discretionary expense in some patient’s minds?

I’ll contribute this:

There is a list of things that I have done in the past and plan to do to reach new patients and reactivate old patients.

By the time I complete that list (and the additional stuff that the process scares up) I will have affected my patient census more than the economy will affect it.

Some on the list:

Sending personal cards to favorite old patients;

Speaking to service groups about wellness;

Blogging regularly;

(Incidentally, we quit managed care over 2 years ago and our stats are still up in every major category NP, PV, SVCs, Coll., although we do miss getting reams of paper from them!)
