Social media marketing for dentist platforms such as Instagram allow patients to feel like they’re getting something in return (such as free information) which encourages them into scheduling.

Social media platforms such as Instagram allow patients to feel like they’re getting something in return (such as free information) which encourages them into scheduling.  Video is a great social media marketing tool for dentists because it gives the potential patient more of an idea about what their life would be like and can also help create urgency and drive traffic through social channels. If you want your social media content to stand out, video will give you that edge over other practices who are not leveraging this powerful medium.

It may be outside your current comfort zone, but you can do this!

Start by making a goal to create one video each month. When you’re finished with it, upload it to both your YouTube channel and to Facebook. This is really easy, and if you can’t figure it out, let us know and we can help you.

Thanks, as always, for being our valued clients and friends.
