Aesthetic clinic lead nurturing: 12-day system with 34% conversion

The average Croatian aesthetic clinic converts 8–12% of Instagram leads into booked consults. With a good 12-day sequence, that jumps to 30–35%. Here's exactly how.

Why nurturing matters for aesthetics

Treatments are: - Expensive (€500–3000), so buyers don't decide instantly - Personal — trust required - Time-sensitive (weddings, summer) — timing sells

A lead that doesn't reach consult in 2 weeks: 78% never will. The window is narrow.

12-day sequence

### Day 0 — Instant reply (WhatsApp)

Trigger: new lead from IG DM / web form.

"Hi {{name}}! Thanks for reaching out. Which treatment are you interested in? 1 — Fillers 2 — Botox 3 — HydraFacial 4 — Other (write)"

Goal: qualify within 2 minutes (research: <5-min contact = 21× higher conversion).

### Day 0+30 min — Automated qualifier

Sends education + FAQ based on selection.

### Day 1 — Email + video

90-second video from the doctor explaining the procedure + what to expect.

### Day 3 — WhatsApp: social proof

"Here's a client who did fillers last month — before/after (with her consent)."

+ 2 photos + IG reel link.

### Day 5 — Email: price + what's included

Transparent price range (€600–1400 for fillers) + what's included.

### Day 7 — WhatsApp: booking nudge

"{{name}}, do you have time for a 20-min consult this week? Available slots: {{link}}"

This is the most important touchpoint.

### Day 9 — Email: FAQ + safety

Common questions (pain, recovery, risk), doctor credentials, hygiene protocols.

### Day 12 — Last-chance WhatsApp

"Last chance to book this month — {{link}}. If now isn't right, we'll reach back in 3 months."

Then: pause + reactivation at 90 days.

What not to do

• Send price before education — friction, loses 40% of replies
• No opt-out — GDPR + WhatsApp issue
• After day 12 keep going — spam alarm
