All of the team members here at Dentainment are big believers in the power of FourSquare.  We highly encourage you to have patients “check-in” while at your Dental Office.  This is scalable word-of-mouth advertising and so easy for you.  Just place a sign in the reception area and you’re all set!

This is just one of the powerful social-media tools that your Dental practice can leverage.

I recommend choosing the platforms that you and the staff feel comfortable using.  Make sure to complete your profiles correctly and engage with the right people.  If you’re office is in San Francisco, I recommend connecting with potential patients in your city and establishing rapport with them.  Make sure to ask questions, post valuable information, and not do too much “selling”.  Be friendly and show off your personality as well.  Remember to have fun and be patient with the conversation.  It takes time to grow a following with lots of numbers, but it is well worth the time and investment.

These are great for your organic page-rank (seo), while also being a nice way to tell people the story of your unique Dental practice.

Here is one of my favorite testimonials that Dentainment recently filmed for an office.

Social-Media for Dental offices is extremely powerful.  Twitter, LinkedIn, Facebook, Yelp, and more can have a significant impact on your new patient flow.

With a plethora of choices out there, what marketing initiatives are your Dental office taking to find new patients. It should be a combination of online and offline initiatives that makes sure you are reaching the proper target market.

The Internet has given your staff the ability to find new patients at any time. Whether it’s leveraging the power of Twitter, or attending a local networking function, make sure to stay active in the community and be a presence wherever you are focusing efforts.
