Attract customers with an appealing web design\u00a0<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><b>What is it?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Whether you already have a website or if you\u2019re starting one from scratch, having a visually appealing and user-friendly website is crucial. If your web page looks like it was last updated in 1999, then you\u2019re doing yourself a huge disservice. Fortunately, there are free online services, like <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.wix.com\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Wix<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, that can help you make your web design both attractive and practical.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><b>Why is it important?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Having a website is perhaps the most basic of all steps towards improving <a href=\"https:\/\/www.become.co\/blog\/how-to-digitally-market-your-small-business\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">digital marketing<\/a> for dentists. If you don\u2019t already have a website, then today is the day you should make one. If you do already have a website, you\u2019ll still want to make sure you update your web design; nobody wants to visit a dentist who still uses Comic Sans on their website. Plus, make sure it&#8217;s mobile-friendly!<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><b>How do you implement it?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Sign up for a free web design platform such as Wix, WordPress, or Squarespace to get started. You can also upgrade to a package that offers more customization, or consider hiring a professional to help you maximize the appeal of your web design.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Use social media to market your dental business<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><b>What is it?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Hopefully you\u2019ve heard of Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter &#8211; if you haven\u2019t, it\u2019s about time to crawl out from under that rock! Social media is a free way for you to introduce yourself to the online community, get your name noticed, interact with potential clients or partners, and much much more.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><b>Why is it important?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A lot can be said about how and why social media presence is important, especially when it comes to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.become.co\/blog\/social-media-marketing-for-small-business\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">dental practice marketing<\/a>. But, to give you a clear idea of why social media marketing for dentists is such a significant factor, consider this: the majority of Facebook and Twitter users report that those platforms are their primary source for news (60%+ and 70%+ respectively).<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><b>How do you implement it?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The majority of social media platforms, namely the big three (<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Facebook<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Twitter<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instagram<\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">), are completely free to join. Simply go to their websites and begin setting up your account. If you would like to take full advantage of the different services that these different platforms offer for business-related purposes, you will have to spend a bit.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Start using Facebook, LinkedIn, and Instagram ads<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><b>What are they?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While the big three social media platforms offer their free versions, they also offer specific business-related services including paid advertisements. Social media ads are a way to take your online presence to the next level and draw potential clients in with creative dental marketing ideas.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><b>Why are they important?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">There are more than <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.statista.com\/statistics\/264810\/number-of-monthly-active-facebook-users-worldwide\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2.3 billion<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Facebook users, more than <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2019\/2\/7\/18213567\/twitter-to-stop-sharing-mau-as-users-decline-q4-2018-earnings\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">321 million<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Twitter users, and more than <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/www.theverge.com\/2018\/6\/20\/17484420\/instagram-users-one-billion-count\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1 billion<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> Instagram users. The sheer number of users on each of the top three social media platforms should be enough to convince you of the importance of social media marketing for dentists. Every day more people are joining social media, effectively bringing more potential clients within your reach.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><b>How do you implement it?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">First, you\u2019ll have to open a business account for the social media platform you\u2019re interested in advertising on. Then, simply view the \u2018ads\u2019 section in the settings section. Follow these links for further guidance on setting up <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/buffer.com\/library\/facebook-ads\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Facebook ads<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/neilpatel.com\/blog\/twitter-advertising\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Twitter ads<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">, and <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/buffer.com\/library\/instagram-ads-guide\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Instagram ads<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">. Always be sure to select your target audience not only by age and occupation but, more importantly, also filter by location.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Focus on your target audience with Google ads<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><b>What is it?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Similarly to the way we all see billboards on the highways or commercials on TV, Google ads reach potential customers by displaying your text, graphic, or video. Your advertisement can show up next to search results, on any of the 2 million websites in the Google ads network, on YouTube, or within smartphone apps.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><b>Why is it important?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">With over <\/span><a href=\"http:\/\/www.internetlivestats.com\/google-search-statistics\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3.5 billion<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> searches every day, Google is &#8211; by far &#8211; the leading online search engine. As a matter of fact, Google racks up more than <\/span><a href=\"https:\/\/blog.hubspot.com\/marketing\/top-search-engines\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">70%<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> of the online search engine market and more than 80% of all mobile traffic. If you want to improve your dental practice marketing strategy, advertising on Google is among the most promising ways to go about it.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<p><b>How do you implement it?<\/b><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/ads.google.com\/intl\/en\/home\/how-it-works\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Google ads<\/span><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"> have an easy-to-navigate web page where you can learn more about the services offered, pricing, and how to sign up.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6. Be active in your local community<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>What is it?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>This dental marketing strategy is fairly straightforward. One of the best ways to make your patients feel comfortable in your hands is to get out there and introduce yourself.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Why is it important?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>You likely have a few friends who do their absolute best to stay out of the dentist&#8217;s office, even though it&#8217;s for their own benefit. You can turn a scary experience into a relaxing one just by adding a friendly face into the equation. Don&#8217;t underestimate the impact of building personal relationships with your clients.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>How do you implement it?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>While there are a ton of ways you can get more involved in your local community, educating youth is a great place to start. More specifically, participating in National Children&#8217;s Dental Health Month (February every year) is definitely worth the investment of time. After all, there are a lot of young patients out there who can benefit from your services after Halloween.<\/p>\n\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">7. Offer clients a referral rewards program<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>What is it?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Word of mouth is a fantastic way to draw in more business. The two key components that make referrals so effective are trust and accurate targeting. When people need dental care but are too weary of going to the dentist, hearing a good review from a close friend or family member can make all the difference in the world.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Why is it important?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Building up a strong reputation as a good dental practitioner is crucial to maintaining a healthy business. <a href=\"http:\/\/blog.ub.ac.id\/yuliadm\/files\/2012\/10\/Jurnal-Manajemen-Pemasaran.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Research<\/a> has found that word of mouth may be among the most effective marketing communication strategies. That means when potential clients hear great reviews straight from the mouth of someone whose opinion they value, it&#8217;s as good (if not better!) than traditional forms of advertisement.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>How do you implement it?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Choose a discount that you can offer to clients who came in as a referral &#8211; just be sure not to change your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.become.co\/blog\/guide-to-pricing-strategies\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pricing strategy<\/a> so much that it cuts into your ability to earn a profit.<\/p>\n\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">8. Develop a small business branding strategy<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>What is it?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Having a recognizable logo, slogan, or face (yes, you read that right) is a prime example of a dental marketing strategy that&#8217;s worth the investment. Think about how, when you&#8217;re driving on the highway, you&#8217;re able to recognize McDonald&#8217;s &#8216;golden arches&#8217; in a sea of signs and logos. It&#8217;s an extreme example, but that&#8217;s the goal!<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Why is it important?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Competition in the dental care industry shouldn&#8217;t be underestimated. Developing a brand that is easy to remember and hard to forget can come in handy to not only bring in new clients, but to also influence existing patients at other dental practices to &#8216;change teams&#8217; and come to you instead.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>How do you implement it?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The number of different small business branding strategies to pick from are virtually limitless. Don&#8217;t be overwhelmed, you don&#8217;t have to reinvent the wheel to create a viable brand. Take lessons from other <a href=\"https:\/\/www.become.co\/blog\/small-business-branding-strategies-examples\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">small business branding strategy examples<\/a>. One simple, actionable tip: pick the right colors, since it can make up to an <a href=\"https:\/\/www.tourolaw.edu\/lawreview\/uploads\/pdfs\/27_2\/9.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">80%<\/a> difference in your brand&#8217;s recognizability.<\/p>\n\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">9. Get even more business with video content<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><strong>What is it?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Using video content is pretty self-explanatory. While visual content is useful in general, moving images are especially effective.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>Why is it important?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>Data shows that potential customers are almost <a href=\"https:\/\/mysmn.com\/28-fun-facts-about-digital-marketing\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">150%<\/a> more likely to make a purchase if they see a video on the product first. Plus, only 20% of visitors to your pages online will read text, while 80% will watch a video (if it&#8217;s there!).<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>How do you implement it?<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>In today&#8217;s digital age, the mass majority of us own a smartphone. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.visme.co\/video-maker\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Creating video content<\/a> to draw in more clients can be as simple as hitting record on your phone. Of course, higher-quality production will appear more professional to viewers and can have a better return on investment.<br \/><br \/>Most importantly, to implement all of these digital marketing strategies, you&#8217;ll need to make sure you have the business funds to do so! Make sure to use a business loan comparison site to get the best possible deal.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.become.co\/loans-by-industry\/dental-practice-loans\/?k=blogbanner\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-10485\" src=\"https:\/\/www.become.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Dental-1.png\" alt=\"Dental Marketing Strategies\" width=\"1200\" height=\"400\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.become.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Dental-1.png 1200w, https:\/\/www.become.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Dental-1-300x100.png 300w, https:\/\/www.become.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Dental-1-768x256.png 768w, https:\/\/www.become.co\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/03\/Dental-1-604x201.png 604w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<h2><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Step-by-step guide for implementing a dental marketing strategy<\/span><\/h2>\n\n<p><b>Step-by-step guide for a dental marketing plan:<\/b><\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">1. Brand your business<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">It\u2019s not enough to exist &#8211; there\u2019s a ton of competition out there! You need to establish a brand that will help you stand out from the crowd. While crooked teeth are no good, stepping out of line is what it takes to make your dental marketing successful.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">2. Choose target audience<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Fortunately, everybody you know has (or had) teeth. This means everyone you can reach with your dental marketing is a potential client. But, you\u2019ll want to narrow your target audience down to people within a reasonable radius of your office location. Not many people will be willing to drive a very far distance to have work done on their teeth.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">3. Research competition<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">You want to separate yourself from the crowd, but it doesn\u2019t mean you need to reinvent the wheel. See how your biggest and most successful competitors operate their marketing; chances are if a method works for them, it can also work for you. It should go without saying that you don\u2019t want to copy exactly what competitors are doing &#8211; rather, use them as inspiration.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">4. Assess budget<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">While there are a number of dental marketing strategies that don\u2019t require money to implement, the most impactful marketing methods will come at a cost. Before outlining a dental marketing plan, you\u2019ll need to establish a budget that you\u2019ll have to get the job done. Without a budget, you may end up putting too many funds into one marketing platform and not enough into others. It\u2019s important to diversify and not throw all of your eggs into one basket.<\/span><\/p>\n\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">5. Select dental marketing strategies<\/span><\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Chances are, your budget is limited. After making full use of all of the free dental marketing solutions, you\u2019ll need to be selective with which dental marketing strategies you spend your money on. Besides the monetary costs, you\u2019ll also be spending time implementing your marketing plan. So be sure to budget your time wisely as well.<\/span><\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>Keep in mind, there are plenty of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.become.co\/blog\/free-tools-every-small-business-should-use\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">FREE marketing tools for business growth<\/a> out there to utilize!<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n<h3><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">6.
