More Treatment With Internal Marketing

There are many ways to market a dental practice effectively.

Dentists in 2020 have realized the importance of social media marketing and started to build a brand presence online. In fact, over 40% of people say they rely on social media before making a decision regarding their dentist. If you visit any dental practice's social media platforms today, you will see a flood of content related to different treatments like veneers, bridges, crowns, fillings and so on.

There is no doubt that external marketing through social media and various other methods is driving more business to dental practices. Does that mean that internal marketing been forgotten? Are patients still reading flyers and treatment posters?

Research by HubSpot concluded that 72% of consumers prefer videos to text marketing. That means that 3/4 of your patients prefer to take in branded information through videos as opposed to text.

For a busy dental practice, creating videos about treatment procedures, common dental issues and oral health tips is a very costly and time-consuming process. You will need expensive filming, audio and lighting equipment, experience with editing software and the ability to consistently come up with new ideas and scripts.

Your practice can now leverage internal video marketing without the costly resource and time investment.
