Direct mail works, and we’re some of the best in the business at it. But real, sustainable practice growth happens when you combine that power with the right digital strategy.

How Your Direct Mail and Digital Can Work Together
UpSwell’s integrated approach to dental marketing connects offline and online channels to help your dental practice attract more patients and convert them faster.
Retargeting Website Visitors Who Received a Postcard
Most people check out a business online before taking action, even if they found you through the mail. With UpSwell, you can retarget those visitors with ads on Google, Facebook, and other platforms.
Real Life Example: Let’s say someone gets a postcard about your new patient special and looks up your website, but doesn’t call. With retargeting, they’ll start seeing your ad on Facebook or Google while scrolling later that day, reminding them to book that appointment they were already considering.
It’s a smart way to stay top of mind and bring hesitant patients back to schedule.
Using QR Codes and Vanity URLs to Track Results
Every postcard we design can include a custom QR code or vanity URL that sends recipients straight to your website or landing page. Not only does this create a seamless experience, but it also gives you clear insight into what’s working and where patients are coming from.
Real Life Example: You mail out a postcard featuring a $99 cleaning and exam offer. It includes a QR code that links directly to your booking page, or a vanity URL like SmileDentalOffer.com.
You can then track exactly how many appointments came from that campaign.
Coordinated Messaging Across Channels
We help ensure your direct mail and digital ads speak the same language. Whether it’s a seasonal offer, a new patient special, or a campaign to promote Invisalign or implants, consistent branding across platforms builds trust and increases the likelihood of response.
Real Life Example: Your practice is promoting Invisalign. Instead of running separate messages, we launch a mail campaign and pair it with Google Ads and Instagram promotions using the same headline, visuals, and call to action. Patients see a unified, professional brand no matter where they find you.
When your mailers drive online traffic—and your digital ads reinforce the message—you get stronger results with less waste. That’s what integrated marketing should look like.

Frequently Asked Dental Marketing Questions
What does a dental marketing company do?
A full-service agency handles everything: strategy, design, media buying, delivery, tracking, and optimization across both mail and digital channels.
How does dental direct mail compare with digital ads?
Direct mail delivers physical presence and tangible reminders, often outperforming email in terms of open and response rates. Digital, however, complements by capturing online intent and retargeting existing patients.
How much should a dental practice spend on marketing?
It varies, but for most dental practices, a smart marketing budget falls between 4–7% of annual gross revenue. That aligns with the U.S. Small Business Administration’s broader recommendation of 7–8% for small businesses under $5 million in annual revenue.
Why hire a dental marketing agency?
Expert agencies like UpSwell bring industry know-how, creative assets, technology, and a results‑driven process, without adding overhead or marketing expertise to your team.
How do I choose a dental marketing company?
Look for proven experience in the dental industry, a multi-channel strategy, and transparent reporting. A strong partner should align with your goals and deliver measurable results.
For example, at UpSwell, we follow a four-step process focused on performance and ROI, and have helped over 10,000 local businesses grow with targeted, data-driven campaigns.
What types of patients can I target with dental marketing?
You can target by household income, insurance type, new movers, geographic radius, family size, and more. Whether you're looking for cosmetic patients, families, or high-value procedures, UpSwell can help tailor your outreach.
How long does it take to see results from a dental marketing campaign?
It all depends, but with direct mail, you can typically see a response within a week of delivery—sometimes sooner. Digital campaigns like PPC or social ads can start generating clicks and calls within days. For long-term growth, consistency and optimization are key.
