While the holiday season can be lovely, it can also be incredibly stressful for everyone. From veterinarians to practice managers, vet techs to pet owners, and even the pets themselves, we know how unstable this time of year can feel. Stress levels are high, which also makes it a great time to remind local pet owners that you can be a stable resource that provides not only important veterinary services but also some emotional support.

You’ve made the exciting decision to open your own veterinary practice. Congratulations! As you get closer and closer to your grand opening, it is time to start focusing on marketing your new business. Beyond Indigo Pets has created this marketing timeline to help you figure out when you need to do which tasks to successfully get the word out about your practice.

When you’re sitting in front of your books and only looking at the amount you’re spending on marketing your veterinary practice, it is easy to consider it just another expense. Many practice owners even think of the cost of marketing as non-essential. When marketing is executed correctly, however, it becomes an essential revenue stream that brings a significant return on your investment (ROI). Keep reading to see how effective marketing can pour money back into your business.

In order to attract certain kinds of clients to your practice, you have to meet them where they are. If you are trying to get a younger demographic of pet parents through your doors, turn to TikTok. As a social media platform that attracts younger audiences, TikTok also gives you a fun and dynamic way to connect and engage with a whole new audience that could become new clients. But where do you start? Our easy-to-follow tips will help you create memorable TikToks in no time.

Veterinary hospitals have experienced unprecedented amounts of client visits over the last few years. Because of the strain on their staff and the increased wait times for appointments, multiple practices have decided either to pause accepting new clients or to slow down the numbers of new pet owners walking through their doors. Some people think that means that marketing is no longer needed—because isn’t marketing just for bringing new tails through the door? 

If you blink, 25 years will pass! That is how we feel at Beyond Indigo Pets! And what a quarter century it has been. When we started in 1997, things looked a little different on the web than they do now—and our product offering was just websites. Our founder and CEO Kelly Baltzell learned to code our very first website in HTML with a book propped up next to her computer. Many people still had servers in their basements, hooked into the phone line through the basement window. Yahoo was coding their websites by hand, and Google was in its infancy after launching in 1998.
