Soft Launching Your Clinic with SigmaMD
Many successful clinics begin with a soft launch—starting patient enrollment and marketing before officially opening their doors. This allows you to begin building your patient panel early so you have visibility into demand and momentum by the time you start seeing patients.
SigmaMD is fully equipped to support a soft launch and makes it easy to begin enrolling patients well in advance of your opening day.
What Is a Soft Launch?
A soft launch means allowing patients to enroll with your practice before your clinic begins seeing patients.
During this period, patients can:
- Register with your clinic
- Complete intake forms
- Sign membership agreements
- Add payment methods
- Secure their membership
This helps you build your patient panel before your first day of appointments.
Why Soft Launch?
A soft launch offers several benefits:
Build your panel early
Instead of starting from zero on day one, you can begin enrolling patients weeks or months in advance.
Start marketing sooner
You can promote your clinic through your website, social media, email campaigns, and community outreach while giving patients a way to sign up immediately.
Reduce administrative workload later
Patient demographics, agreements, and payment details are collected ahead of time, making your official opening much smoother.
How SigmaMD Supports Soft Launch
SigmaMD provides Enrollment Links that allow patients to sign up online.
Using an enrollment link, patients can:
- Create their account
- Complete demographic information
- Sign required agreements
- Add a payment method
- Enroll in a membership plan
You can share the enrollment link on your website, social media, or marketing materials to begin building your panel.

Launch With Momentum
By the time your clinic opens, you may already have a growing patient panel, organized patient charts, and membership payments configured—allowing you to focus on delivering care from day one.
