Aesthetic, hair and cosmetic clinics · Email marketing

Email is not the channel that closes here, and it still has two jobs.

Email for an aesthetic clinic carries the slow work WhatsApp is wrong for: treatment plans, EMI paperwork, package reminders and the maintenance sitting due a year later. GullySales writes those sequences, keeps clinical detail out of subject lines, and triggers them from the CRM rather than from memory.

What email marketing means

Email marketing is sending planned messages to a list of past and prospective customers who have agreed to hear from you. It suits offers, updates and staying in touch with someone who is not ready to buy yet. GullySales writes and schedules these emails and tracks who opens, clicks and enquires.

Sales and marketing for aesthetic, hair and cosmetic clinics, the overview.

For aesthetic, hair and cosmetic clinics

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

“WhatsApp does the talking, so email carries the documents”
A patient will not read a long message on WhatsApp, but will open a plan, a consent form and an EMI sheet. Say the short thing there and attach the rest here.
“A subject line can out a patient to their family”
Hair transplant plan for you, sitting in an inbox opened on a shared laptop, is a confidentiality problem. Subject lines stay plain and the detail stays inside.
“The maintenance sitting is a year away and nobody remembers it”
Laser touch-ups, aligner retainers and transplant reviews fall due long after a patient has stopped thinking about you. A dated email is the cheapest booking your clinic will get.

What we do

What we deliver for aesthetic, hair and cosmetic clinics.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

A plan and consent pack sent after every consultation
The written treatment plan, the EMI terms and the consent form emailed the same day, in one message the patient can forward at home.
Result: The family discussion happens over your document.
Sitting and package reminders on a dated schedule
Messages for the next sitting, the missed sitting and the retainer or touch-up due a year on, triggered from the CRM rather than remembered.
Result: Sold packages get finished and old patients come back.
Subject lines and previews checked for confidentiality
Nothing in a subject line naming a treatment, clinical detail kept inside the message, and a rule about which addresses a clinic may write to.
Result: A shared inbox does not turn into a complaint.
A list cleaned and consented
Old contacts checked against who actually agreed to be written to, with an unsubscribe on every message and the branch recorded against each patient.
Result: You write to people who want to hear from you.
A report on what the list produced
Opens, replies, and the sittings and plans booked from email, set against the baseline taken after we have read your brief and spoken to you.
Result: The list gets judged on bookings.

What must be in place first

What an aesthetic clinic needs in place before it emails a single patient.

Consent written at registration: Use only patients who gave an email and agreed to reminders on the registration form. Tick that box in the practice software so the list can be filtered by it. Enquirers who never registered stay off.
Clinical detail kept out of the mailing tool: Photos, diagnoses, prescriptions and treatment notes stay in the practice software. The mailing tool holds a name, an email address and a stage, and nothing a stranger could read as a medical record.
Lists split by treatment stage: Enquiry, plan signed, mid-package and maintenance due are separate lists. A patient waiting out a hair transplant should not receive a laser offer, and a lapsed enquirer should not receive a package reminder.
An advertising-rules check before any treatment mail: Advertising rules for doctors and clinics differ by state and by council, and they change. Show each treatment mail to your own council guidance or adviser first. No result claims, no photos of outcomes.
EMI and plan details written as plain text: The plan mail carries the quote, the lender's name and the instalment dates as readable text, so the patient can show it to family. Check each figure against the signed plan before sending.
A named coordinator who takes the replies: Replies go to a coordinator who can book a slot and answer a plan question. A clinical question gets a call from the doctor's team, never an answer typed into an email thread.

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

Your patient list has no record of who agreed to receive email, so any send would be a risk to the clinic.
You plan to email offers to old patients, though the clinic has no way to know which ones asked not to be contacted.

How it works

How the email marketing work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

1
Understand your list
We review who is on the list, how they got there, what they agreed to, and how long since they last heard from you.
2
Audit past sends
We read past campaign reports, your sending domain settings and any spam complaints to see what has and has not worked.
3
Segment and plan
The list is split into groups and a sending calendar is agreed, with a rule for unsubscribes and quiet addresses.
4
Write and set up
Emails are written, checked and scheduled in your email tool. Welcome and nurture emails are set to send on a trigger where that fits.
5
Measure and adjust
We read clicks, replies, enquiries and complaints by segment, and change subject lines, timing and content to match.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 0, foundation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

Step 1
Sales audit
Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.
Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.
Step 2 · you are here
Sales process design
One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.
Start here if every salesperson sells differently.
Step 3
Sales management
A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.
Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

Tell us what you need

Do Indian patients even open clinic emails?

For anything with a document attached, yes. Plans, bills, EMI approvals and consent forms get opened because the patient needs them. Skin-tip newsletters mostly do not, so the programme is not built on those.

Can we email our old patient list with an offer?

Only patients who agreed to hear from you, and the wording needs care. Discount messaging about medical treatment runs into the restrictions your doctors work under, so your adviser should see it. A reminder about a sitting that is due is the safer and better use of that list.

Can we send a patient their reports or prescription by email?

Treat these as medical records, not marketing. Check how your own practice software and your adviser say records may be shared, and prefer a secure patient link or collection at the clinic. Never attach them to a campaign mail.

What should we do when a patient replies to a clinic email with a medical question?

Do not answer the medical point in writing. Reply with thanks, offer a call or a consultation slot with the doctor, and note the question in the patient's record so the doctor sees it before the call.

How much does it cost?

There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.

How long is the contract?

The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.

How soon will we see results?

It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.

Who will actually do the work?

The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.

What do you need from us?

Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.

What if we are not happy with the work?

Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
