8. Reduced advertising costs. For example, a customer of Patientgain.com had a one year contract for a TV spot on a local channel – with a call to action phone number. TV commercial sales rep keep on insisting that ads on TV are working. When a call tracking was added, it was discovered that $1200/per mon for 12 month, generated 4 calls a month, with 1 conversion to a real patient for an elective medical service, with an average revenue of $6000 per patient procedure. This seems like a good ROI but then compared to the same advertising dollars spent on another medium (online advertising using Google), produced 23 phone calls, and 6 new patients/month. So the ROI was greater with the 2nd online marketing medium. To read more about it, please go here.
