Overview
Bluegrass Veterinary Hospital is a newly established veterinary practice located in Gallatin, TN. Founded by co-owners Dr. Ben Zimmerman and Dr. April Lynch, the hospital was set to open its doors in early 2021. With a mission to provide superior veterinary care, the practice aimed to attract pet owners who value top-quality care for their furry companions. To achieve their growth objectives, the owners sought an effective strategy to establish a strong presence in the local market, gain a competitive edge, and expand their patient base.
Challenges
As a newly established veterinary hospital, Bluegrass Veterinary Hospital may face various challenges in connecting with new potential patients.
There are existing and established veterinary practices in the local area that are already established and trusted by pet owners. This could make it challenging for Bluegrass Veterinary Hospital to compete and gain a foothold in the market.
Location
Bluegrass Veterinary Hospital faced the challenge of identifying a suitable location to open their practice.
Solution: Bluegrass Veterinary Hospital partnered with EOS to gather insights into the local market, assess the competition, and identify areas with high demand for quality veterinary services. With this information, the co-owners were able to make an informed decision on where to open their practice, ensuring maximum potential for growth and success.
Building trust
Pet owners are likely to seek veterinary care from practices they trust and feel confident in. As a new practice, Bluegrass Veterinary Hospital will need to work on building trust with potential patients and demonstrating the quality of their services to earn their loyalty.
Solution: Bluegrass Veterinary Hospital tracks customer feedback and reviews, identifying areas for improvement and demonstrating their commitment to quality care. By tailoring messaging to the values and preferences of potential clients, they were able to establish themselves as a trustworthy and reliable veterinary practice.
Limited marketing resources
As a startup practice, Bluegrass Veterinary Hospital had limited resources to devote to marketing efforts. This could limit the hospital’s ability to reach out to potential patients and promote its services effectively.
Solution: By leveraging real-time data and analytics, EOS was able to identify the most effective channels and target their marketing efforts towards potential clients in the local market. By tailoring messaging and promotions to consumer preferences and values, they were able to maximize the impact of their marketing efforts with limited resources.
Limited brand awareness
As a new practice, Bluegrass Veterinary Hospital may have limited brand awareness among potential clients in the local market. This could make it difficult for the hospital to attract new patients who are unaware of its existence and services.
Solution: By gaining valuable consumer insight, EOS was able to leverage consumer preferences and values, thus EOS tailored Bluegrass Veterinary Hospital messaging and branding to appeal to the specific needs and desires of potential clients in the local market.
Strategy
To establish a strong online presence, Bluegrass Veterinary Hospital collaborated with EOS to develop a comprehensive digital strategy. The first step was to create a distinctive visual identity that would effectively communicate Bluegrass’s unique value proposition. EOS’s Creative Team designed a logo and brand personality that resonated with the target audience, showcasing the hospital’s commitment to exceptional veterinary care.
With the brand identity in place, EOS developed a user-friendly website that provided visitors with relevant information about the hospital’s services, staff, and facilities. In June 2021, EOS implemented a Pay-Per-Click (PPC) marketing campaign to drive traffic to the website, targeting pet owners who were searching for quality veterinary care in the Gallatin area.
As the website gained traction, EOS’s Digital Team began implementing search engine optimization (SEO) strategies to improve its organic visibility in search results. This included optimizing the website’s content, building high-quality backlinks, and creating a comprehensive local SEO strategy. By March 2022, Bluegrass’s website had achieved a significant increase in organic traffic, attracting a steady stream of potential patients to the hospital.
EOS also managed Bluegrass’s Google Business Profile (GBP), ensuring that the hospital’s information was accurate and up-to-date across all Google services. This helped to boost the hospital’s visibility in local search results, making it easier for potential clients to find and connect with the hospital.
