Social Media

With Social Networking becoming the newest craze, we have many dentists asking us to place Facebook or Twitter links on their site, and many others asking if they should.

We believe social media marketing has become an excellent way to market your practice.  It benefits dental practices by providing an additional channel to connect with parents and kids.  It attracts attention, generates online conversations and encourages readers to share it with their friends.  We also believe that if you aren’t taking advantage of social media marketing, you are missing out.

To see how social media is taking over the web, watch the video below, produced by SocialNomics in July 2009.  Keep in mind that the numbers have continued to grow, with Facebook now reaching 500 million users!

Social Media Marketing programs might include the following: Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn, YouTube and MySpace. There are many ways in which you can benefit from Social Media Marketing.

• More visibility on search engines
• Better customer service (direct response to patient questions or suggestions)
• Highlight office updates, news, promotions, announcements (new patients, contest winners etc.)
• Draw attention (and traffic) to particular items on your website (ex: motivational charts, dental facts etc.)
• Build relationships with your patients (show photos and posts of your hobbies, community involvement, staff outings, family events etc.)
• Referrals – Friends of your patients will see your postings (the average Facebook user has 130 friends).  This is better than word of mouth!  Your patients can also actively suggest you to their friends.

Still Not Convinced? Recent statistics for Facebook show that they have more than 500 million active users with 50% of those users logging on everyday. The average Facebook user has 140 friends (that’s alot of potential new patients) and people are now spending over 500 billion minutes per month on the website.
