Dr. Darold Opp, founder of Advanced Family Dentistry and SmilePalooza! gives dentist who might be wondering how to attract new patients a way to test their marketing IQ with a series of brief questions and answers.

ABERDEEN, SD – August 11, 2015 – Dr. Darold Opp, DDS, founder of Advanced Family Dentistry and SmilePalooza!, recently posted a new article on his website entitled “If Your Practice Is Aching for Patients, Test Your Marketing IQ.” Patients come and patients go, but how do you get more of them to come and stay? That’s the subject of Dr. Opp addresses.

Opp writes, “Our dental practices cannot survive, let alone thrive without a consistent flow of new patients and a solid foundation of loyal, long-term patients.” He continues adding, “My practice has thrived for more than 30 years and I am a cheerleader for unorthodox marketing methods to keep people clamoring to become my patients. However, for those not quite ready to step out of the box, there are marketing methods that must be part of every practice, no matter whether you engage in unorthodox methods or not.”

“So,” asks Opp, “how do you tap into this rich patient pool?” His answer, “The article suggests five questions, which I have provided along the most relevant aspect of each answer. You could consider it a brief test of your marketing IQ.”

The questions are, “Do I have an effective online presence?” “Am I relevant on social media?” “How flexible are my patient interaction methods?” “Am I promoting online?” And, “Am I tracking my patient interactions?”
