How to Nag Clients (In a Way They’ll Actually Thank You For)

1️⃣ Increase the Frequency (Without Becoming That Overly Attached Ex)

Remind clients just enough to stay top of mind, but not so much they block your number. A well-timed email, text, or push notification says, “Hey, we care about Penny’s health, and we’re not clingy, promise.”

2️⃣ Personalize Like a Pro

Generic: “Your pet is due for a vaccine.” 😴
Personalized: “Hey Max! It’s time for your annual check-up to stay healthy and keep chasing squirrels like a champ!” 🐕
Pet owners want to feel like you know their family member—so make it personal (but not stalker-level).

3️⃣ Postcards Aren’t Dead, They’re Just Retro Cool

A postcard in the mail is like getting a handwritten note in a sea of bills. Plus, it’s harder to ignore something that stares at you from the fridge saying, “Don’t forget me!” Bonus: It’s adorable fridge art. And, our data shows it still works.

💡 Pro Tip: The best reminders are friendly, fun, and impossible to ignore. Ready to level up your reminder game? Our inbox is wide open, like a tapir grazing in the jungle at 2 a.m. 🌴💌 Got questions? Ideas? Or just want to chat? Slide in our DMs—we’re as friendly as a tapir with a fresh snack pile (see what we did there, lol).

1️⃣ Be Unforgettable — Tapir Style
A tapir’s snout is its superpower, and your brand needs its own signature touch. That starts with clear, consistent messaging and a website that feels like you. When clients instantly recognize your voice and value, they’re far more likely to return. Tapir helps practices refine their story so every interaction—online and in the exam room—feels personal and memorable. 🐘✨

2️⃣ Stay Connected — Like a Tapir Family
Tapirs stick close, and your practice should stay close to your community too. That’s where social media comes in. We help practices show up with authentic, engaging content that highlights team culture, patient stories, and everyday magic in vet med. When your community sees the real you, retention naturally grows. 💌

3️⃣ Increase Visit Cadence With Personalized Messaging
Retention thrives on meaningful touchpoints—not generic blasts. We partner with practices to build smart, personalized reminder strategies that increase visit cadence and bring clients back for the care their pets need. These reminders feel less like marketing and more like a practice that genuinely cares. 🌱

At Tapir, we pair intentional messaging with strong website design, community-focused social media, and personalized reminder strategies to increase return visits and deepen trust.
If you’re ready to uplift your client experience and grow with your existing clients, our DMs are open. ✨

🚩 Red Flags in Marketing: 🚩

Your last post: It’s giving ‘our lobby is closed, please call when you arrive’ vibes from 2020.

Your website still says, “Welcome to our new site!” (from 2019).

You’re not posting pics of your team and pets every week.

Pro Tip: Consistency and cuteness are undefeated. Let Tapir fix those red flags.

From our founder Eric D. Garcia ❤

When was the last time you went a full day without your phone?

Most of us can't even remember. And that might be part of the problem.

Since 2013, I’ve intentionally for an extended period every year, and every year since, I write and speak about it. Not just to reflect, but to help others do the same. What started as a personal reset has become a non-negotiable in how I lead, create, and show up for others.

3 simple tips to get started:

1. Schedule it — even half a day helps.
2. Hide your apps — break the muscle memory.
3. Set an auto-reply — your time deserves boundaries.
4. Stop giving yourself excuses — telling yourself you can't is usually just fear talking
5. You’ll spot the last one in the photo — look closely 👀

I’ll be unplugged from June 16 to June 27 (Tappy here, Tapir is here for you! Just reach out to our team). During that time, I’ll be stepping fully offline to recharge. I appreciate your patience while I’m away and look forward to reconnecting when I return.

I’m also working on a new article coming soon! If you’re a leader who thinks you can’t unplug, you might be doing more harm than good. I'll be sharing why I believe stepping away is actually a sign of strong .

Until then, you can explore tips, tools, and stories from others who’ve made unplugging part of their life 👉 ericgarciafl.com/unplugged 📵
