It is definitely THAT time of year
again!
Every year, during October, November, and
December, our advisors spend a great deal of time helping our clients build
their marketing plans for the upcoming new year. If you are a current client,
it doesn't matter if you are in the middle of a campaign (a good example is a
mail campaign) that might not end until the middle of next year. All of you
should still review 2014, run the budget numbers for 2015, subtract the costs
of what is working, and plan to continue to build upon the effective promotions
you already have in place.
If you are not a client yet, give us a call
or log onto our website and complete the online client survey. Our advisory
group will build and deliver a marketing plan via email, then follow up to
discuss the plan in detail.
Here are our advisors and how to reach
them.

What's the big deal about changing years?
It's not that it is a big deal. But, it
certainly could be a big deal depending upon your specific situation.
The old 179 deduction has all but evaporated
(see reference below). We are not CPA's. But we are getting many dentists
(mostly clients) calling us and letting us know their CPA said they should plan
out next year's marketing expenses and pay some of those in this tax year.
Well, any time you promote anything, there are always costs prior to
deployment. So, if your CPA says it is in your interest to pay for
design/production this year, and pay for deployment next year - we can
help.
In an effort to avoid a potential back log,
if all of you call us during the last two weeks in December (procrastinator
alert!), we won't be able to help everyone maximize their CPA's
recommendations. So, please plan to reach out some time between now and the
beginning of December. That way we can give everyone the time and attention
they deserve.
This has been another record breaking year
at NPI. Our firm doesn't grow simply by selling more new clients. Our firm
grows by retaining existing clients. This year, over 70% of our clients have
been with us for 5 years or more. This is another record. Yes, we are proud of
our team, but our pride is also shared with dentistry as a whole.
Promoting dentistry properly requires
understanding, consistency, time, and let's face it - a little bit of faith! We
tip our hats to the segment of dentistry which has taken the time and energy to
learn, the faith to maintain consistency, the devotion to
understand/monitor/measure results properly, and the tenacity to continue to
build onto your successful promotion foundation, year after year.
Everyone
at NPI is proud of all of you!
