Frequently asked questions (FAQ)

Therapy Newsletter is an emailed, video, print AND fax newsletter. No other newsletter service in the industry comes remotely close. Every 2 weeks, our system automatically sends out a newsletter to your patients and prospects with your contact information on it, and the sender information appears as your email and has your name (company name or personal name – your choice). The good news is that you can customize the frequency and choose to have it sent only once a month if you prefer. You can also customize all the content in the newsletter at any time before it is automatically delivered by email on the first and the third Monday of each month to your patients, prospects and referral sources by email.

You also get a printable version of the newsletter, which can be printed and handed out / mailed to patients AND faxed to doctors. The content in both versions is the same, but the design is different, one is optimized for the internet, and the other is optimized for printing and faxing.

You enjoy the benefits of an automated, effortless, done-for-you marketing system in which a team of 5 physical therapists go to work for you twice a month to write, edit and research images for relevant content with a ‘call to action’ to drive more patients to your clinic.

This is BOTH – a patient and a physician newsletter.

You get a patient newsletter, and you also get a physician newsletter every two weeks.

In fact, you can use the patient newsletter with physicians using a powerful technique we have created for you, called the ‘physician profiling principle’.

Using the physician profiling principle, you approach local doctors and offer to feature them in your newsletter as a preferred provider. This serves several purposes.

  • You position yourself as an expert to the physician
  • You drive more patients and referrals to the doctor and instill a sense of reciprocity (which leads to more referrals)
  • You engage the doctor and get his / her attention
  • You increase the distribution net – since the doctor will be happy to distribute it to his / her patients.

With our proprietary technology, you can generate an unlimited number of newsletters featuring different physicians.

Certainly! In fact, every component of your newsletter can be customized, from the header, title, logo and content. Every single thing can be edited with the click of a button.

If you know how to use Microsoft word, you will be able to customize the components within minutes. If you run into any trouble, you can email our support staff or we can walk you through the process over the phone or you can watch our comprehensive video tutorials in the member’s area.

The good news is that Therapy Newsletter allows you to have an email and a print version (both versions are created with unique, eye catching designs and content) every 2 weeks. This is a combination of print, mail, fax and email newsletter, all rolled into one.

Having said that, there are certain advantages to an online newsletter that help you grow your private practice.

The use of email is growing in the United States, and across the world. Most patients have an email address. In addition, many patients check email at least once a day, if not more often. As long as patients have given you permission to contact them, email is the easiest, fastest, most efficient way to maintain contact. This means that your message will be read by most of your patients! This makes a newsletter a powerful marketing system – more effective than phone calls, postcards or seminars. You can reach everybody at one time, and present high quality, valuable information to patients while positioning yourself as an expert.

Your patients will gain access to more information about your clinic, services and other information by simply clicking on a link in your newsletter. This allows you to strategically build trust and loyalty with patients. Over time, the benefits of frequency (twice a month) are exponential rather than linear.

Cost and Effectiveness. A newsletter that is delivered via e-mail is less expensive to deliver, faster to transmit and guarantees a high exposure rate, as compared to regular snail mail.

Having said that, it’s best to follow the ‘balanced distribution’ principle = 30% emails, 30-40% printed and mailed newsletters and the remaining 30-40% reaching patients in the offices of their physicians using the ‘physician profiling’ principle. These strategies, and other advanced, under-the-radar strategies to leverage your newsletter are explained in our exclusive tutorial videos for members.

You don’t need a website to use Therapy Newsletter. The longer you wait, the greater the chances are that another therapist in your area will start using the newsletter to reach your potential patients.

We make it easy for you to collect email addresses from your patients with our “email stimulator” technique. Your receptionist can call old patients and use the following script:

” We have great news for you! We would like to offer you 4 free books: Secrets To Good Posture, Overcoming Arthritis, Beating Low Back Pain and 10 Best Health Tips. Are you interested?”

When patients accept, simply say:

“Wonderful. In order to save on the costs of printing and shipping, we deliver these books to you digitally. All we need is your email so we know where to send you the eBooks. Oh, by the way, you will also receive our FREE patient newsletter twice a month filled with tips and strategies on healthy living, injury prevention and wellness. Our newsletter is packed with information on how to live pain-free and function more efficiently. Don’t worry, you are not locked in and can unsubscribe at any time “

This is the fastest way to add subscribers to your Therapy Newsletter database. When you enter the patient’s email into your Therapy Newsletter account, they automatically get emailed these books; – you don’t lift a finger. You can even customize these books with your own contact information.

You are creating a database of patients who will regularly receive your newsletter. Just imagine the possibilities as your list of patients grows and every single patient receives your newsletter twice a month!

We have already done the work for you, and have four easy-to-use “patient stimulator” eBooks available for your use. You can customize these books if you like, and can offer them to patients as an incentive to becoming one of your subscribers.

Even if you don’t have a website, you can sit back and relax while Therapy Newsletter builds your patient loyalty and referral base for you.

As a user, you login to your Therapy Newsletter account on the first and third Wednesday of each month (these days are called the ‘update days’) and can access your newsletter, which is scheduled to go out on the next delivery day. You can control everything – the content, frequency of delivery and the message in the newsletter.

Note. Once you customize your newsletter in the beginning, you don’t ever need to login to the system again. You don’t need to login during the update days, because the system will simply update the content section, and your contact information, images and logos remain untouched. This means that a new newsletter is generated every 2 weeks, and you don’t have to lift a finger, ever.

This structure between the update days and the delivery days gives you almost 2 weeks to customize the content before it is sent out. You control the look, content and delivery.

You have a 5,000 subscriber limit with your account, and you can increase your capacity as mentioned below.
– 10,000 maximum subscribers for an additional fee of $19.95 a month.
– 15,000 maximum subscribers for an additional fee of $29.95 a month.
– 50,000 maximum subscribers for an additional fee of $59.95 a month.

Absolutely! You have complete control over the content in your Therapy Newsletter. Our simplified web interface allows you to make changes to ANYTHING in your newsletter in seconds and preview the changes, print the new newsletter and even test drive the way it looks by sending a test email! In fact, we encourage your input, because it helps you to add your own unique voice to your emails. The more you customize your newsletter, the better the results will be.

You are absolutely right. You can write it on your own, but there is a lot more to a powerful newsletter than good content. The comparison chart below will help you to make a decision.

Writing a good patient newsletter, complete with flawlessly edited text, high-resolution images and ‘take home messages’ for the patient is the single most powerful marketing tool in your arsenal. In addition, when you include a ‘refer a friend capability’, customize the look and feel and deliver the content to patients and doctors every two weeks, you will get noticed by patients and doctors. We enable you to expand this idea not only to patients, but also to physicians and the local media. The problem is that, this is a serious investment of time, money and effort.

You can hire a company like Therapy Newsletter to do all this for you for a fraction of the cost of manpower to write, edit and distribute the newsletter.

Don’t forget, the Therapy Newsletter is action-oriented. On your behalf, we write the newsletter in a manner to encourage a call to action from patients – so they call you, helping you build long term loyalty, a new patient population and stimulating referrals across the board! We position you as a therapy leader in your community, automatically, twice a month. You save a significant amount of time and effort. You never have to write anything (unless you want to and have the time to), manage your subscribers, or deliver your newsletter. Every component, from writing and editing to formatting, design and delivery, is done automatically.

Our 30-Day money back guarantee says you can. Try our system for 30 full days and if you don’t like it you will get a full refund, no questions asked.

It’s our way of telling you we KNOW this will work for your practice. Within 30 days, you will find that patients and physicians will start referring to you on a consistent basis. Your readers will feel like they know you personally. You will start to be recognized as an expert in your community.

Email and information privacy is our number one priority. This system was created by licensed physical therapists and private practice owners who understand HIPAA laws and adhere to them as a strict professional standard.

At Therapy Newsletter, we follow industry protocols for privacy and have acquired highly advanced secure server SSL encryption to protect you and your subscriber list. Our technology backend and information and email servers are overseen 24/7 by our technical support staff.
