If you dread social media because you struggle to come up with new ideas each day, a dental social media marketing company can help create a quarterly content calendar that provides inspiration, ideas and templates for each day’s posts.

There isn’t a magic number for how much you should post on social media. It’s better to post amazing content less frequently than just okay content every day. The best frequency for you depends on how much time you have.

If you’re searching for the easiest way to reach as many people as possible on social media, social ads are the way to do it. However, you won’t reach your desired audience simply by just giving the platforms money. Social media ads require management from someone who has knowledge of how to produce the best results possible

Unlike your profession that you received formal education to practice, social media marketing is a ‘learn it as you go’ skill that has become an integral part of running your business. Let us look at how your practice can benefit from it.

• Patient acquisition: Before making any commitments, 41% of patients today check out healthcare practices on social media. You can receive a large chunk of your patient bookings from your social media pages as it acts as another avenue to advertise your practice.
• Cost-effective: Traditional forms of marketing such as TV, newspaper, and radio ads can consume your entire marketing budget compared to content put on social media, which is free and stays on your channel forever.
• Visibility and brand reach: Since your audience spends more time on digital devices compared to any other form of media, that is where you are most likely to catch their attention. Unlike paper ads that are printed and distributed in certain areas, you can reach a much wider audience using social media.
• Awareness: By and large you are not restricted by as many rules, length and formatting restrictions, or script to advertise your practice on social media when you compare it with traditional media channels. You can talk about your services, create learning content, or share success stories to inform your audience about why they should choose your practice over your competitors.
• Engagement: Once your patients are out of your office, they have to be reminded about your exemplary care so that they keep coming back to you. By connecting them with social media, you can foster engagement and top-of-the-mind recall with your content.
• Virtual introductions: Your social media channel acts as an online brochure to your services that your audience can browse through at any time, without having to interact with your staff, giving them an opportunity to decide for themselves.
• Longer shelf life: Social media content consumption is dictated by your audience. They can take their time to watch, listen, or read your content multiple times or even save it for later, as opposed to TV viewership which is governed by scheduled programming.
• More Impressions: Your social media handles add another avenue to building your online presence that will result in a better ranking on search engines. Interaction with your social media channels in turn boost the authority of your website.
