Hello everyone,

I hope someone can help with this.

Regarding Photofacials and laser hair removal. What can I do to increase my volume.

How much should I be spending?
I want to increase volumes to where I'm bringing in around 15 to 20 K per months from the above and possibly Botox/fillers.

I know this is not an exact science. I want some good suggestions from people who have been doing this for awhile.

Thank you.

There's two ways to make more money: increase the number of clients recieving these services or sell more services to the existing base of patients.
-How many clients do you have now?
-What is the average that they are spending?
-how many consultations do you have now? How many of those are actually signing up and paying the money?
-What type of referral business do you have? Do you offer specials to clients that are bringing in more patienst for you?
-who is performing the service? are they on some type of a bonus/commission plan so they are partnered into your goals?
LHR will bring in more money than the PhotoFacials, everyone has hair not everyone buys into the whole IPL for wrinkle therories.
shoot for 15K in Photfacials, 25K for LHR.
Do you offer micros or chemical peels for the Fotofacials? can you stand alone packages for those? you could get another 2-4K on a packages of micros alone

Lots of good questions. Thank you for the detailted response. It sounds like I need to get more organized. I don't have the answer to many of those questions and I'm not doing some of the things you mentioned.

Should I spend money on tv, radio, etc?

Really it's a matter of what you're trying to accomplish. There are 2 types of advertising strategies: "Branding" and "Call to Action" Branding is more general warm and fuzzy, this is who we are and what we do.
Call to Action is specific: a special, a sale something that gets the consumer to ACT RIGHT NOW. Typically TV is better for branding. I have heard Call to Action ads on different radio stations for local medspas but it is super hard to quantify the return on your investment no matter what the radio salesperson says.
A cheaper and I think more effective route is local magazine, and newspaper ads with a coupon attached, SouperCoups if that is in your area, and most importantly reaching out to your existing patients. Can you partner with any local businesses like tanning places or modeling agencies?
Unless you know the answeres to the very basic business questions above you will never be able to know if your money is driving new business in the door or if it's going down a dark hole. Until you get some sytems in place I wouldn't invest in ads yet.
Do you have a website?
