How To Set Your Vet Practice Apart From Others

Posted on August 11, 2016January 10, 2021

Veterinary reminder cards

In the eyes of many people, pets are members of the family. This is even more evident for people who don’t have “human children”. A pet gives you someone to love, and for that matter provides people with companionship. For these reasons — among others — people are willing to invest in the care and keeping of their pets. And having a pet or multiple pets is quite an investment. There are the basics to worry about, like food, toys, and much more. But there are also plenty of vet bills, and they tend to add up over the course of a pet’s lifetime. It’s estimated that the vet care industry is worth a total of $14.37 billion. It’s no wonder, when you consider the fact that the average dog owner spends $219 per year on vet visits. And the average dog owner doesn’t have to think about more complicated medical conditions or accidents. Issues like these could make a pet owner’s yearly expenses extremely high. Thus, it’s important that veterinary practices do their best to maintain good relationships not only with their patients, but their patients’ owners. Doing so ensures good communication, which means that the pets will receive the best care possible, and their owners will feel appreciated.

Vet Thank You Cards: Building A Relationship

The goal of a vet is to care for animals in the best way possible. Therefore, it’s understandable that the focus of a vet is the pet, not necessarily the pet’s owner. However, it’s important that owners know that they are doing the right thing in taking their pets to this particular veterinary practice. Vet thank you cards can do just that. Although the primary focus is, of course, caring for pets and ensuring that they are as healthy as possible, a veterinary practice is a business. Pet owners are, essentially, clients. And when pet owners are given vet thank you cards, they feel appreciated and valued. If the pet is a new patient, veterinary welcome cards can go well with vet thank you cards. With that being said, to ensure patient loyalty you may find that one more additional “thank you” would make a big difference. Sometimes, vets take the extra measure and even give new patients a credit if they refer friends to their practice. But of course, communicating with a pet’s owner is about more than simply saying thank you.

Veterinary Reminder Cards: Keeping Owners In Check

Did you know that 39% of people forget things on a weekly basis? This includes basic information — and certainly more complicated, random issues like vet appointments. Veterinary reminder postcards can make a big difference for pet owners. It’s easy to forget things like annual shots. This is why a veterinary reminder card in the mail is so appreciated. It makes it easier for pet owners to incorporate that vet visit into their schedules, allowing them to relax somewhat. Reminder postcards for vets are also valued in that they express the vet’s real level of care. This is something that no pet owner will forget!

Veterinary Sympathy Cards: When Times Get Hard

Of course, vets are there when times get really tough. This is remarkably difficult for people to accept a pet’s death, especially when it’s sudden. And when it’s not sudden, a vet is usually involved in the final decision making process regarding whether or not to put a pet to sleep. A pet dying is difficult for the vets themselves; but they’re even harder for pet owners to deal with. A sympathy card means the world to pet owners, letting them know that the vet really cared for their pet on an emotional level. Of course, there’s another level that can be added to the sympathy card — and that’s a note, written and signed by the vet.

It can be difficult to separate yourself from other vets. These personal touches can make your practice stand out in a real way that anyone can appreciate.
