Reach Patients at Home with Custom Newsletters and Postcards

Print Marketing: A Tangible Way to Stay Top of Mind

Print marketing includes newsletters, postcards, brochures, and other custom materials that reinforce your brand and keep your practice visible beyond digital channels. In a world of crowded inboxes, print stands out. Households receive hundreds of emails each week but only a handful of physical mail, making your message more likely to be noticed and remembered.

Why Print Still Works in a Digital World

Most people’s inboxes are overflowing. In fact, the U.S.P.S. states the average American household receives 800+ emails every week but only ~10 pieces of physical mail! That makes print one of the rare marketing channels where your message is more likely to be noticed, held, and remembered.

Be There Before They Need You

Our philosophy is simple: “Be present before they need you, so they remember you when they do.” With print marketing, you’re not always asking for appointments; you’re offering value, education, and a consistent presence in patients’ lives. When the time comes, your practice is the one they think of first.

Modern Newsletters are ideal when you want to build relationships and share more in-depth updates. They can feature staff spotlights, new technologies, charitable contributions in your community, or educational articles about conditions you treat. A well-designed trifold newsletter with a mix of updates, education, and “infotainment” becomes something patients keep, read, and even share.

Postcards are especially effective when you need to make a quick, bold impression. They’re perfect for introducing your practice to the surrounding area using Every Door Direct Mail (E.D.D.M.) to target households by zip code or demographics. They also work well for announcing a move or new location, or promoting a limited-time offer. At 6×11″, these postcards are large enough to stand out in the mailbox with a clear, memorable message.

For added value, we like to include a QR code on all print pieces, creating a seamless bridge between the physical and digital world. Patients can scan and instantly land on your website to read more, book appointments, or learn about your services.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Print pieces are tangible, harder to ignore, and often drive higher response rates than digital-only campaigns, especially when combined with email and online ads.

Absolutely. We recommend aligning print with your digital marketing. For example, a postcard can reinforce a recent email campaign or point patients to your website or social media.

Not at all. In an age of digital fatigue, well-crafted print stands out, creates deeper engagement, and leaves a lasting impression. Think about it: which are you more excited to review, your email inbox or the contents of your mailbox at home?

E.D.D.M. stands for Every Door Direct Mail, a U.S.P.S. program that allows you to send hardcopy mail to households in a chosen area without needing a specific mailing list. Instead of targeting by individual names, you can actually target neighborhoods, zip codes, or carrier routes based on useful demographics like age, household size, or income. It’s one of the most cost-effective ways to introduce your practice to a community, announce a new location, or promote a special offer.
