Abstract
Introduction: Similar to other businesses, healthcare services also require strong marketing strategies as their success solely depends on patient turnover. Healthcare managers are responsible for ensuring proper visibility and advertising of their organizations and practice in order to be more productive. Materials and Methods: This is a cross-sectional study conducted among dental practitioners in Saudi Arabia using an online survey. A total of 244 Saudi general practitioners from different cities of Saudi Arabia participated in this study. Results: Spearman’s correlation was conducted which revealed that the overall correlation was not statistically significant apart from 3 variables in correlation with work experience and 2 variables in correlation with age. Conclusion: The most commonly used marketing strategies used by dental practitioners were attending educational seminars on a regular basis, hiring competent staff, buying new generation equipment, and decorating the clinic in an attractive manner.
Keywords: Dental business, Marketing strategies, Dental services.
