Launch & Grow a Six-Figure Patient Membership Plan - Webinar

Join our exclusive course and discover the proven strategies that practices use to add $10,000+ in monthly recurring revenue with patient membership plans. Dr. Evans took this course and now has over 800 members and $37,000/mo of predictable recurring revenue. Watch this webinar before we take it down in 24 hours.

Let’s be real for a sec: Most “marketing in dentistry” looks like it was crafted by a sleepy intern with a Canva addiction and zero experience in closing high-ticket treatment plans.

You’ve seen it…

  • Stock photo of a smiling lady holding an apple

  • Caption: “Did you floss today? ”

  • Result: Crickets. Tumbleweeds. Maybe your mom likes the post.

That, my friends, is NOT marketing. That’s digital wallpaper. You need content and campaigns that convert browsers into bookers, and patients into paying members.

So buckle in, because we’re about to light your dental marketing strategy on using Dan Kennedy’s No B.S. Direct Response Playbook, Russell Brunson’s Epiphany Bridge Framework, and the holy grail of revenue stacking: BoomCloud™ Membership Plans.


 Your Dental Marketing Strategy is Too Damn Nice

Yep, I said it. It’s polite, toothless, and scared of selling. But patients aren’t looking for another National Flossing Month post.

They need transformation. Confidence. A brand they trust. And you? You need revenue per patient that doesn’t flatline in February.


The “Invisible Dentist” Problem

Let me tell you about Dr. Allen, a skilled cosmetic dentist in Chicago. He’s got killer veneers, luxury office vibes, but he was invisible online. Why? Because his marketing was all “look at us!” and zero “here’s why this matters to YOU.”

No lead magnets. No offers. No retargeting. No MRR.

Until he implemented three power moves:

✅ Direct response ads with emotional hooks
✅ Organic content with real CTAs
✅ A membership program with BoomCloud™ to generate monthly recurring revenue

Twelve months later: His ARR hit $312,000 just from membership patients alone. Now that’s visibility with velocity.


Don’t Just Post — Market Like a Pro

If you’re just throwing up posts without a plan, you’re playing checkers in a chess game. What you need is a multi-channel strategy that sells:

1. Direct Response Social Posts (Dan Kennedy-Style)
Think mini-sales letters with:

  • HOOK: “Tired of hiding your smile?”

  • STORY: “Here’s how one patient went from embarrassed to empowered in 2 visits.”

  • OFFER: “Claim your FREE Smile Makeover Consultation. This week only.”

  • CTA: “ Click Here to Schedule Now.”

2. SEO-Optimized Blog Content
Create weekly blogs around high-intent keywords like:

  • “Best Invisalign in [Your City]”

  • “Emergency dentist near me”

  • “Dental membership vs. insurance”

Pro tip: Google loves local intent. Stack keywords + location and watch the leads flow in.

3. Retargeting Ads That Close Like a Closer
Did they visit your site but bounce? Hit them with:

  • “Still thinking about straightening your smile?”

  • “Missed our free whitening deal?”

Retargeted leads convert 70% more often than cold ones. Facts.


Cool Post Ideas That Drive Real Business

Let’s be honest, not all content is created equal. You need scroll-stopping, offer-packing, story-telling FIRE. Here are your go-tos:

Patient Transformation Series – “Before and After” with a personal journey
Video Q&A Sessions – Show expertise and build trust
Behind-the-Scenes – Let people meet the real team
Membership Mondays – Promote BoomCloud™ with perks
Flash Offers – Scarcity + urgency = bookings

Remember: Every post needs a CTA. You’re not a museum. You’re a business.


 Membership = Loyalty = Profit

Here’s the ah-ha moment most dentists miss:

When a patient joins your membership plan, they’re not just buying a cleaning.
They’re buying access, committing emotionally, and saying, “I trust YOU to take care of my smile.”

And you? You get predictable income, loyalty, and 2X to 4X more spend per patient.


BoomCloud™ Case Study: From Struggling to Scaling

Let’s talk numbers — the kind that make accountants grin.

Membership Math: Why It Pays to Play the Long Game

Let’s break this down with some juicy math.

Metric Traditional Patient Membership Patient
Visits per Year 1.2 2.8
Avg Spend per Year $800 $2,200
Retention (3-year value) $2,400 $6,600
Referral Rate 1:8 1:3

Multiply that by 100 patients… you get the idea.


SEO + Ads + Membership = Marketing Engine

Let’s make it simple:

  1. SEO attracts traffic

  2. Facebook/Google Ads convert traffic

  3. Retargeting brings back lost opportunities

  4. Membership programs create recurring income

  5. Email + SMS nurture & reactivate

Rinse. Repeat. Scale.


Direct Response vs. Brand Awareness (Fight Me)

“Branding” is a fuzzy word agencies throw around when they have no idea how to track ROI.

You want leads, not likes.
You want MRR, not impressions.

Dan Kennedy said it perfectly: “The only purpose of marketing is to sell something. Period.”

If your posts aren’t making offers, you’re leaving cash on the chair.

✅ HIPAA-compliant
✅ Custom plan creation

Don’t let “marketing in dentistry” be a punchline. Make it your profit engine.
