Most marketing disappears in 24 hours.

This costs £1.50 a day.

That's less than the coffee you grabbed this morning.

Less than a single social media boost that disappears after 24 hours.

For £1.50 a day, your business is physically placed into the hands of NHS patients at your local GP surgery — every single day.

Free artwork design included, with the option to update it monthly.

When you break down the cost of most marketing, it's fleeting.

This sits in waiting rooms, in handbags, on kitchen counters.

It keeps working long after someone leaves the surgery.

Sometimes the simplest ideas are the ones that stick — literally.

We don't do print anymore....

We hear this all the time.

Completely understand. Digital is brilliant for reach and targeting.

But here's something worth thinking about: no ad blocker can stop a receptionist handing your details directly to a patient.

No algorithm decides whether your business gets seen.

Print recall rates are four times higher than digital.

The businesses getting the best results aren't choosing one or the other — they're doing both.

Digital builds awareness. A presence in the local GP surgery builds trust.

It's not print vs digital. It's about being in the right place at the right moment.

Your next customer isn't online. They're in their local GP Surgery.

Every day, thousands of patients sit in GP waiting rooms across the UK — not scrolling past your ad, not blocking it, not skipping it after five seconds.

They're waiting. They're reading. And they trust what they see in that environment.

That's the difference between advertising at people and being recommended to them.

When NHS reception staff hand a patient an appointment booklet with your business inside, there's an implicit endorsement that no online ad can replicate.

If you're a local business wondering where your next customers are coming from, they might already be sitting in the waiting room down the road.

We would love to have a conversation about whether this could work for you.

Earlier this week we were speaking with a dental practice about one of the biggest challenges in dentistry right now — staying visible to local patients.

Most practices rely heavily on online advertising, but it’s becoming increasingly competitive and expensive.

Something many practices don’t realise is that patients are often given a patient appointment booklet directly from their GP surgery to take home.

Because it comes from a trusted GP environment, the information inside tends to carry far more credibility than normal advertising.

These booklets are often kept at home and referred back to when people need local healthcare services.

That’s why some dental practices choose to feature their services inside them — ensuring they remain visible to patients in the local community.

Something interesting we’ve noticed working with GP surgeries…

Patients are often given an appointment booklet by their GP to take home, and many keep it as a reference for healthcare services in their area.

Because it comes directly from a GP surgery, the information inside carries a level of trust that typical advertising simply doesn’t have.

That’s why some dental practices choose to appear inside these booklets so they remain visible to local patients when healthcare decisions are being made.

Dentists — trust plays a huge role in healthcare.

When patients receive information directly from their GP surgery, it carries a level of credibility that other advertising simply doesn’t have.

Many patients are given a patient appointment booklet by their GP to take home, which they often keep and refer back to when they need healthcare services.

Because it comes from a trusted GP environment, the information inside tends to be seen as helpful and relevant rather than promotional.

That’s why some dental practices choose to feature their services inside these booklets — ensuring they remain visible to local patients when healthcare decisions are being made.

For practices looking to strengthen their presence in the local community, it’s a simple way to stay front of mind.

Dentists — quick question.

How do most new patients currently find your practice?

Is it mainly:

• Google searches
• Word of mouth
• Social media
• Something else?

There’s another moment many practices overlook.

When patients visit their GP, they are often given a patient appointment booklet to take home, which many keep and refer back to when they need healthcare services.

Some dental practices choose to be featured inside these booklets so their services remain visible to local patients long after the appointment.

Great to see practices like Colosseum Dental UK supporting patient information distributed through GP surgeries.

Out of curiosity…

Where do most of your new patients currently come from?

Drop it in the comments — it would be interesting to hear.

Dentists — where do patients look when they need a new dentist?

Most practices immediately think of Google ads or social media.

But there’s another moment that often gets overlooked.

When patients visit their GP, they are given a patient appointment booklet to take home. They refer back to it when they need healthcare services for themselves or their family.

That means local services featured inside these booklets remain visible long after the GP appointment.

For dental practices, it can be a simple way to stay visible to patients in the local community.

Thousands of patients receive these booklets every month through GP surgeries.

Out of curiosity…

Are you currently looking to attract more patients to your practice this year?

👍 Yes

Dentists — a quick question?

How are you currently reaching local patients who may need a private dentist?

Many dental practices choose to appear inside the patient appointment booklets given to patients by GP surgeries, which they take home and keep for reference.

Practices like mydentist & Colosseum Dental UK value of being visible within their local healthcare community.

Thousands of patients receive these booklets every month.

If you're a dental practice and want to see which GP surgeries are available in your area, comment “Dentist” or send me a message.
