3 Funny Instagram Dental Marketing Reels Ideas To Do With Your Team

Video marketing is becoming a mainstay for dental practices looking to connect with their community. Social media platforms that focus on video creation adapt by adding new features at breath-taking speeds. The recent upgrades allow flexibility to create fun, educational, and entertaining content on the fly.

Marketing your dental practice on Instagram using Reels is one of the new social media strategies that dentists and dental teams are using to connect in a more authentic way with their local community.

If you’re not familiar with Instagram Reels, you need to learn about it. It’s a vertical, short-form video strategy that allows a user to create video content that is 3 seconds to one minute long.

Reels emerged as Instagram’s attempt to compete with TikTok, which blew up during the pandemic. (Blew up in a good way.)

Google also jumped on the band wagon seeing TikTok’s rise to fame by launching Youtube Shorts.

Youtube Shorts are the same idea, short form vertical video content. I remember a few years back when vertical content was frowned upon by Google. You would create a vertical video and it would be at the bottom of the search engine. Not now. Youtube via Google is encouraging vertical video content.

These 3 social media video marketing apps are very similar in their content creation approach. Dental practices that are on each platform will usually post the same content in all platforms.

If you are the dentist or the person in charge of marketing at the practice, you need to be creating short form vertical video content and posting to Instagram Reels.

Why is short form dental video content like TikTok, Instagram Reels, and Youtube Shorts is so popular, is easy to answer. People simply do not have enough time on their hands. Short form video content that’s accessible via a mobile phone doesn’t require much time at all to view.

Instagram Reels will support dental teams to stay consistent in their social media publishing, which is a consistent problem in a small business where no one has enough time.

The content created on Reels helps a practice gain better patient engagement, increase practice awareness, and build trust-worthy relationships.
