Facebook Live Video Is A Game Changer For Dentists
Now, with Facebook LIVE, you can stream real-time video on your practice’s Facebook page.
Then, after you conclude, the video remains posted on your Facebook page for patients and prospective new patients to not only view, but to continue to ask questions and carry on conversations with your practice, and share the video with their friends on Facebook.
In addition to strengthening relationships with your Facebook audience, there’s another really important reason to consider live streaming on Facebook.
That is, first of all, Facebook is very committed to this live streaming feature. Why? Because of what’s called “page time”. Facebook is interested in having people spend as many minutes as possible of Facebook, and live streaming is one more reason for people to do that.
After clicking on it, you simply describe your live video with a title, and click “Go Live”! That’s all there is to it!
Now don’t over obsess about perfection. However, be mindful of what is showing up in the background. If you do an office tour, for example, be sure you’re aware of HIPAA protocol when it comes to computer screens, people, etc., that may be in the video.
Other ideas may be to do a Question of the Day, like, “What should I do if a temporary crown comes loose” or something of value to your patients.
Be creative. Have fun. And use this powerful tool to enhance the effectiveness of your social media marketing.
