Running a medical aesthetic clinic is exciting, but it’s also challenging to fit in all the admin, clinical, and marketing tasks together!!
Marketing a medical aesthetic business doesn’t have to be overwhelming or expensive. With a clear plan, even one person can manage effective marketing in just a few hours each week.
So, what we have done is put together a 4-week plan which focuses on quick, low-cost strategies to build visibility, attract clients, and create momentum for long-term growth.
Week 1: Build the Foundations
The first week is about setting up the essentials that will support all future marketing efforts.
-
Google Business Profile: Create or update your profile with accurate details, photos of your clinic, and a list of services.
-
Social Media Setup: Choose 1–2 platforms (Instagram and Facebook are ideal) and update your bio, profile picture, and contact details.
-
Content Calendar: Plan 2–3 posts per week for the next month. Focus on before-and-after photos (with consent), treatment explanations, and skincare tips.
-
Collect Testimonials: Do ask past or current clients for short reviews to use on social media and your website.
Week 2: Create Awareness
This week focuses on getting your business in front of more people.
-
Social Media Posting: Share your first set of posts consistently. Use hashtags relevant to aesthetics and your local area.
-
Engage Locally: Comment on and follow local businesses, gyms, salons, and wellness pages to increase visibility.
-
Referral Program: Launch a simple referral offer (e.g., “Bring a friend and both receive 10% off your next treatment” remember the rules about promoting botox though!).
-
Flyers or Business Cards: Print a small batch and leave them at local salons, spas, or fitness centers.
Week 3: Build Trust and Authority
Clients need to feel confident in your expertise before booking treatments.
-
Educational Content: Post a short video or carousel explaining a treatment, its benefits, and aftercare.
-
Client Story: Share a testimonial or case study (with permission) to highlight real results.
-
Email List: Start collecting emails from clients and inquiries. Send a simple newsletter with a welcome message, treatment highlights, and a special offer.
-
Mini Promotion: Run a limited-time offer for first-time clients to encourage bookings.
Week 4: Drive Bookings and Strengthen Relationships
The final week is about converting interest into appointments and building loyalty.
-
Social Proof: Share more reviews and before-and-after photos to reinforce credibility.
-
Direct Outreach: Message past clients to thank them and let them know about current offers.
-
Engagement Boost: Run a small giveaway on social media (e.g., free consultation or skincare product) to increase followers and engagement.
-
Follow-Up System: Create a simple process to check in with clients after treatments, thank them, and encourage reviews.
Ongoing Maintenance After 4 Weeks
Once the initial plan is complete, continue with:
-
Posting 2–3 times per week on social media.
-
Sending one monthly email newsletter.
-
Running small seasonal promotions.
-
Asking every happy client for a review or referral.
