If you’re a fan of Pride Institute’s Tuesday’s Tips, and you’re interested in growing your practice, the following 10 Tips for your Facebook page (yes, I know there are tons more) are key to your success.
- Post a provocative sentence — Write an article on your website’s blog and post an intriguing statement from your blog. Then include a link for patients to view the blog on your Facebook page.
- Photos — Post photos of the team, the office’s flowers, holiday decorations, team events, and other fun events. Ask patients to write a caption underneath some of the funny pictures.
- Patient of the week — Choose one patient or case each week, and with their permission post their picture holding a certificate or flowers.
- CE update — Describe any conferences or training, including OSHA and CPR, and Pride training.
- Ask a question/take a poll — Post a question that readers can respond to, such as their tips to get kids to brush, the ideal amount the Tooth Fairy should leave, their favorite movie portraying a dentist, a favorite dental joke, or which celebrity has your dream smile. Use the polldaddy app to design the polls.
- Video — Link to a video showing brushing technique, an office tour, or a patient testimonial.
- Holiday celebrations — Offer specials associated with a holiday, such as bleaching specials prior to Valentine's Day.
- Contests/Drawings — Announce in-office and online contests and describe the prizes.
- Team building — Describe any team events, including humanitarian efforts. Spotlight an individual team member each month.
- Team member achievements — Tell team members congratulations for winning an award, graduating, having a new baby, running a race, and other achievements.
