Newsletters have long been a mainstay for marketing professional services. While intangibles such as loyalty, appreciation and education are the principal benefits of using a newsletter,

the referral ratio for new business is even more impressive – a full 75% of newsletter recipients indicated that they kept the newsletter for future reference and 25% said that being a recipient of a newsletter inspired them to refer business!
Today, more and more, pets are members of their families and owners have lots of love and emotion invested in them. When their pet needs something, whether it's a vaccination, veterinary care, or even a recommendation about dietary needs, owners want to turn to someone they feel they can trust.

In fact, last year alone in the U.S., over 12 million dollars were spent caring for pets. Pet owners are loyal clients and also excellent for word-of-mouth recommendations. It's easier to get current clients to visit more often than it is to get new clients to walk through your door. Therefore, the best—and most cost-effective—marketing efforts are to target the clients you already have. You have a better shot at getting the attention of people who already know and like you.

Newsletters are far and away the best marketing tool a veterinary clinic has in targeting existing clients and turning them into future business. Nothing establishes trust more that consistent, caring and educational communication between appointments.
