Marketing

Every orthodontic marketing program today should include video marketing on YouTube on one subject or another.

Orthodontic Marketing With VideoWhile many of us equate the popularity of our video orthodontic marketing tactics with views and click through rates, let's take a moment to consider other advantages which might be considered to have value when promoting your practice with video. Sure… tracking new patient referrals off the Internet and conversion rates are valuable, but what else is there?

The Braces Cookbook 2When adding a new orthodontic marketing tactic to your current orthodontic marketing mix… you can't fail with an award winning cookbook branded with your practice name.

The Braces Cookbook 2: Comfort Food with a Gourmet Touch, by Pamela Waterman and Amee Hoge, has been honored with a Next Generation Indie Books Finalist Award for 2009. Targeted to adults in braces, the book is a follow-on to the award-winning volume The Braces Cookbook: Recipes You (and Your Orthodontist) Will Love; both offer tender recipes and tips for a deliciously positive approach to life with braces. Read the press release.

I have a copy of this cookbook and love it!  It is professionally illustrated and a great addition to any kitchen.  Much better presentation than orthodontic cookbooks of the past.  You don't have to be an adult orthodontic patient in treatment to appreciate this gift.  It would be appreciated as a gift for moms also.  For orders of 25 or more, you can request gold stickers with your practice name and address.  It's the gift that keeps you in their minds every time a patient or mom uses the cookbook and sees your name. 

Pam Waterman is scheduled as one of my guests on the Orthodontic Training Center's Internet Marketing Cafe program.  She will offer tips on how you can use this cookbook to promote your practice.  Have you joined the OrthodonticTraining Center yet? If not, go check it out.  Discover what's going on in orthodontics today from those in the know.  Where else can you access great information, without travel… for a minimal monthly fee?

Marketing with Video

Jump Start Your Orthodontic Marketing Program on the Internet with Video

Online video viewership set a new record December 2008 with a 13% increase over the previous month according to a report released from the comScore.com Video Metrix Service. For the first time, more than 14.3 Billion videos were watched in December by US Internet users. As you might expect, Google Sites (which includes YouTube) led the growth charge, accounting for 49% of the incremental gain in overall videos viewed versus the previous month. In December, almost 100 million viewers watched almost 6 billion videos on YouTube alone.  In January, YouTube reached its first month of more than 100 million viewers.  The first time ever!

Orthodontic Marketing Multi-TaskerI read a great post this morning while getting ready for the AAO in Boston.  This entire week has been on fast forward trying to get everything done.  One of my biggest challenges is multi-tasking.  When there is limited time in a busy day and so much to do, I often flit from one task to the next without completing anything in a timely manner.  The last thing I should be doing is writing a blog post right now… but I was distracted reading the post and thought I would share.
