North Lakes
Clinic Opening
Client Challenges
Challenge #1
The Brisbane Spine Clinic opened a second location in North Lakes. A location already saturated with established physiotherapists, chiropractors, and massage therapists.
The challenge was to launch, attract and convert the desired number of appointment bookings each week to fill therapists' calendars. Build brand awareness in the location to sustain the second location.
Having been a client of Splice Marketing to launch their original clinic in Eight Mile Plains, they understood the importance digital marketing had to the growth and profitability of the business.
Challenge #2
During the initial 6 months of opening the second location, COVID 19 struck, forcing their patients into lockdown during Mar-May. Where a lot of clinics were closing doors and putting a hold on their marketing, Splice Marketing advised that digital marketing was essential to remain in front of their customers during this time. As many of their competitors ceased their marketing efforts, it meant The Brisbane Spine Clinic was able to increase their market share without an increase in spend.
Client Goals
The Brisbane Spine Clinic engaged Splice Marketing in August 2019 - present (inclusive of the COVID-19 lockdown period of March through May 2020).
