Think About Your Eyes Advertising Grows Patient Awareness

Young Family Watching Tv Think About Your Eyes - Logo
The primary goal of the Think About Your Eyes (TAYE) advertising campaign is to change public behavior, and convince Americans to pay more attention to their eye health and vision care. What is the net effect of that on your office? You should see new patients who find your office through the practice locater at www.thinkaboutyoureyes.com, and your current patients coming back for exams more regularly.
In particular, the ads can help motivate those “current” patients – who have been in the office before – but not been back for an exam for over three years. Every office has these patients. When they hear a TAYE radio ad or see one on TV, then become motivated to call for an appointment, this is just as valuable to your practice as a “new” patient (in fact, under Medicare’s definition, they are a new patient).
As we mentioned in our last newsletter, the TAYE ads are reaching Americans – and working. Eye exams are growing around the country more than twice as fast as the growth rate before TAYE’s national advertising started.

Here’s an example of one PECAA Member practice, and what they have seen in patient activity recently.

Dayton Optometric Center is a three-doctor practice in Dayton, Ohio. Brothers Marc Gilbert, OD and Heath Gilbert,OD, signed up for a Premium listing on the TAYE locater in late July, and have been seen by many searching patients in the two and a half months since.
A look at the search statistics on their TAYE listing shows:
• Searches of their zip code: 132
• Patients who have read their profile or pulled map directions: 3
• Patients who have called the office from their mobile phone while viewing their listing: 2
• Patients who have requested an appointment while viewing their listing: 2
So four patients have either called or clicked to request an appointment directly. Out of the 132 who searched for a doctor, how many have then called the office for an appointment? There’s really no way to know, other than carefully questioning patients when they come in for their exam. Either way, that’s good immediate exposure for Dayton Optometric Center – and longer term, we are educating the American public, improving their eye health and vision care, and growing practices!
