by Cindy Graf I listened to a webinar last night regarding the ups and downs of Groupon Social Media advertising. I know that many of you have been tempted to or have done a marketing promotion with a Social Media Site.  I have had about 7 medical spas almost go under due to poorly positioned Groupon marketing.  At first glance, Groupon and Social Living  seem too good to be true…500 new patients streaming into your practice… all that $money$!!!!  “We’ll convert them into profitable clients” you say.  Most offices are not staffed properly or positioned properly on the web to handle this temporary traffic.  If you include any kind of a consumable service such as Botox and Fillers, you may actually lose a lot of money.  The stress on your schedule and staff may infuriate the loyal full price customers that you have already worked so hard to gain their loyalty and disposable cash dollars

From Botox training for physicians to marketing your aesthetic medicine business, the IAPAM offers the industry’s most comprehensive workshops for physicians.  The IAPAM’s Aesthetic Practice Startup Workshop is the only medical spa business program highlighting the latest information on social media marketing and is taught by an actual medspa owner who knows the facts. The IAPAM announces the June 6th date for its next Aesthetic Practice Start-Up Business Bootcamp .

As the demand for minimally-invasive treatments continues to rise, specifically the demand for Botox and other cosmetic injectables, physicians who are expertly trained through accredited multi-day training programs like the International Association for Physicians in Aesthetic Medicine’s ( IAPAM’s ) Aesthetic Medicine Symposium , can capture the lion’s share of this growing market and greatly benefit their bottom lines.

A website selling vials of injectable aesthetic medicines has been shut down.    Last October, we reported that authorities were cracking down on a north Texas woman who was selling injectables like Dysport, Botox and Restylane over the internet in a kit containing two saline filled syringes and a vial of the medicine. The woman, Laurie D’Alleva, also posted videos on Youtube that describe how to inject yourself
