Dental Social Networking
What is Social Networking for Dentists? It’s about going beyond just having a website to give your dental practice more of a presence on the internet. It’s like going to several huge parties where everyone is interested in what you have to say about your practice, then having them share it with others. Build your audience as you build your dental practice. We can help you do this!
Facebook is more than just a site, it’s a phenomenon. 8 out of 10 Americans with access to the internet keep a facebook profile. If you have one yourself, chances are your patients and your potential patients have one too! More than just the marketing aspect, facebook allows you to improve the quality of the relationship you have with existing patients. It doesn’t just allow you to reach out to them, it also allows you to listen to them.
Twitter is a quick and easy way to share news about your practice. More than that, it’s a quick and easy way to share ideas and engage your patients, or simply to make life more convenient for them by reaching out and proactively and informing them of schedules, availability, helpful reminders, and just about any piece of information that can improve your patient’s quality of life. Because of its accessibility on virtually any smart phone, twitter allows you to reach out and touch someone.
YouTube is more than just entertainment channel, it’s an educational channel. With approximately 150 years of youtube videos watched on youtube, and nearly 400 videos tweeted every minute (source: mashable.com), it’s an amazing resource for patients that need information, but don’t always have the time. Embed your videos on your site to make it easier to find. Even better yet, embed your videos in all your social channels and make them available wherever your patients look.
