How text follow-up can grow your patient base 20%+ in 8 months

A patient can have a good experience and still end up going somewhere else the next time they want treatment.

78% of clinic patients plan to receive another treatment within a year, but only 36% return to the same provider. ¹

That's a big difference between wanting another treatment and coming back to your clinic for it.

For clinics that rely on repeat treatments, that relationship after the appointment matters.

This isn't about sending another appointment reminder.

It's about checking in after treatment, making sure the patient is happy, and continuing to communicate with them after they leave.

Without a consistent process for doing that, you're relying on every patient to come back on their own.

You want to keep more of the patients you've already earned.

Imagine 100 patients come through your clinic this month and spend an average of $500 each.

That's $50,000 in revenue from those patients.

Now imagine your patient retention improves to where just 10 more of those 100 patients come back for one additional $500 treatment.

That's another $5,000 from the exact same group of patients, without spending anything to acquire another 100 people.

Do that consistently across 12 months and that improvement is worth $60,000 in additional annual revenue.

Using text messaging to follow up with patients is an effective way to retain them.

And actually, 90% of patients say they prefer to communicate with clinics by text. ²

68% want two-way texting (texting back and forth), and 75% say they chose to text because it's more efficient than calls or email. ²

So one of our clients, Innovation Health, came to us for help with their patient retention.

We built an AI powered text messaging retention system to increase their customer lifetime value.

It followed up with patients after treatment and started conversations automatically.

Innovation's team could step in whenever a patient responded and needed a real person.

Over the next 8 months, Innovation Health:

But those results didn't come from simply sending more texts.

There's a strategy behind how we do it.

Our text messaging methodology has generated $4.5 million in client revenue.

It was developed after sending more than 2 million messages and working across 5+ industries. We've learned what gets people to respond, schedule, buy, and come back.

The strategy is not to send the same generic text to every patient.

We use AI to send personalized post-treatment follow-up that can communicate like a patient coordinator on your staff.

The system checks in with patients, starts conversations, and continues following up without requiring someone on your team to manually send every message.

When a patient responds and needs a real person, your staff takes over the conversation.

The automation handles the repetitive communication, while our messaging formula determines what gets sent, when it gets sent, and how the conversation is started.

The result is consistent patient follow-up without adding another manual task to your staff's day.
