| Perhaps
the primary reason a health care practioner would like to
send SMS messages to their patients or clients, would be to
remind them of appointments, let those on a waiting list know
when there was availability, send courtesy messages, remind
them that a check up is due, etc. This is especially useful
for those who often cancel at the last minute or who haven't
been in for a long time - routine check up visits which are
the most frequently forgotten.
A good
practice will also strive to create a good feeling amongst
their patients. Send referring clients a thank you message
- they're showing a lot of confidence
in you! Keep track of who is having a big event like a marriage,
baby, important sporting contest, and send them good wishes.
People remember this forever!
A good
way of reminding everyone about you and your services, are
special greetings on birthdays, Christmas time, practice
closing times for holidays, etc. Thus SMS messaging can
be used as a wonderful marketing tool, without even appearing
to do so.

Close
to 80% of your clients / patients have a cellphone. Their
are many phone calls which are made every day which could
easily be replaced with an SMS. Once you are using the program
you will see that it takes no longer to do this than calling.
One local call plus the SMS costs, will work out substantially
lower than all the individual calls, especially if a lot
of them are to cellphones. You also prevent the phone from
being tied up and indeed, your time on the phone. Prompts
about outstanding accounts can also save on telephone and
postage bills.
Once
your clients are grouped as you would like, it takes no
more effort to send the message to one client then to hundreds!
For example, if your practice is moving or you have a new
service, you can tell all your clients in just a few minutes!!
