Video Marketing for Dental Practices
Before someone decides to become a new patient at your Practice, they are likely to check out your website first. And video is a great way for them to meet you virtually. A video about you and your work will help give prospective patients a good impression of who you are and how you operate. Video can help set patients’ minds at ease about what to expect when coming to see you. They will be able to watch a tour of the Practice. As well as learn more about you and how you work.
Type of Videos
A home page video for your website is a powerful way to engage with prospective patients and help bring the culture of your practice to life. It will also give people a genuine picture of what it would be like to visit you. These types of videos serve as a welcome to your Practice, highlight the services that you offer, and demonstrate what sets you apart. In the video below, you can watch an example of a Mini-documentary/Practice Tour video created by Dream Engine for Thornbury Family Dental:
Short video messages are a great way of enhancing engagement with visitors to your website. Here’s a short video that appears once website visitors complete an online booking:
Video is also great for Patient Transformation Stories:
Why Dentists Are Increasingly Using Video
Dentists are increasingly relying on the web for new patients. Even if someone has received a personal recommendation, they are very likely to check your website to verify you. This is an opportunity to make a positive first impression, stand out, and connect on a personal and emotional level.
