Compare and contrast dental marketing strategies in the Philippines and in other countries.
Dental marketing strategies and the like are continuously evolving as such before, dentists only
have limited reach like word of mouth or to print fliers to reach the market for consumers or
patients for their practice, now that we are living in a modern age of technology it is used as a
cheap, easy, and economical alternative such as the social media to advertise their practice to
reach a wide array of clients. This is not only seen in the Philippines but also in the foreign
countries.
One difference that can be noted in the marketing strategies used here and abroad is the use of
email as the foreign market usually have their own emails so that their communication with
their client is continuous and they usually have a key person to answer their every email. It is
very unlike here that one practice may have an email but it is rarely used by the owner and one
of the reason is that we are impatient and just like to have everything instantly and in that
manner instant messaging or even calling is used to book the services they are in need of.
