Fresh Social Media Marketing Ideas For Your Practice in 2021


Social media marketing is no longer the new kid on the block. As a healthcare business owner, leveraging social media can be an effective marketing resource. Keeping up with what is working  and taking advantage of the latest trends on social platforms can deliver results for your practice!

 

There are still plenty of things you can do to improve your social media marketing this year! Here are a few things you can do to level up your social media efforts!

 

Poll Your Followers

 

Facebook, Twitter, and Instagram all allow users to create polls for the followers to respond to. In most cases, we’re talking about simple polls with just two or three potential responses.

 

A poll is a great way to collect feedback from your followers while simultaneously creating ‘engagement’ for your account. 

 

Polls can also be used to measure the effectiveness of your campaign. Because polls are interactive, they encourage engagement. In many cases, respondents won’t even need to leave their feed and they can respond by clicking their choice right within your poll!

 

You can also try using polls to split tests and leverage your audience to get invaluable insight. This method works by asking people to vote on which version of your website they prefer or eliciting feedback on variations of your creatives.

 

Engage in Social Listening

 

Social Listening can help your practice tap into trending conversations and get the gist of what your audience is talking about and the general consensus around the topic. 

You probably saw a brand respond to a news story in a tone-deaf way. That’s not a good look for your brand.

 

Does that mean you should never respond to anything topical? No – but it does mean you need to be careful.

 

The best way to avoid missteps is to engage in social listening. 

 

Before you post, scroll through relevant hashtags, and get a feeling for what people are saying and how it might relate to your brand or services. Then, you’ll be able to craft a response that is equal to the moment and will speak to the concerns and needs of the people who follow you.

 

Fine-Tune Your Twitter Voice  

 

Having a consistent brand voice is also very important on Twitter, where you only have 288 characters to get your point across. You can expand a thought over two or more Tweets (sometimes known as a Tweetstorm) but you still need to fine-tune your voice.

 

Your voice might be authoritative, funny, snarky, or highbrow. Whatever it is, you should learn how to get it across in a single Tweet. There’s nothing wrong with a bit of experimentation and trying a couple of different options will help you to get it right.

 

Deploying social listening and engaging on Twitter can be huge for your practice. 

 

Vary Your Instagram Content  

 

Because Instagram got its start as an app where people could share mobile photography, it’s common for healthcare business owners to get stuck in a rut, posting only high-quality photographs and never taking any chances.

 

Instagram’s options have expanded and it’s time for you to get on board with the changes. You can try any of the following to diversify your content.

  • Create short videos to share with your followers
  • Do an Instagram Live video
  • Create one or more GIFs from your videos or other sources
  • Get creative and make some memes that are relevant to your brand
  • Take advantage of micro-blogging and share your thoughts

 

There’s a lot you can do with Instagram and as users become increasingly sophisticated, they expect more from the brands they follow.

 

Start an IGTV Show 

 

Speaking of expanded content on Instagram, did you know you can create long-form television shows using IGTV? Content creators use IGTV to do Q & A sessions, live stream events, interview experts, share reviews and testimonials and much more. 

 

You don’t have to be an expert in video production or sound technology to start creating your own IGTV show.

 

The key is to get started. 

 

By creating long form content that is compelling and an insight into your business, it’s personality and culture, your fans and patients will likely get a better feel and deepen their affinity.

 

Use Custom Retargeting to Increase Conversions 

 

When you are marketing your services to a “cold” audience, it can be nearly impossible to make any money from your Facebook ads. That said, there’s a way you can increase your ROI without spending a lot more money: retargeting.

 

For example, you might run a video ad to people in your area featuring your service. You don’t need to run it for long – just a few days or a week. Then, you can create a custom audience of people who watched at least half of your video and show them a new ad designed to pique their interest and encourage them to buy your service or fill out your lead form.

 

Retargeting is a good idea to help leverage recency and recognition of your practice’’ brand.

 

Find Micro-Influencers to Share Your Content

 

Another great way to leverage social media is through influencer marketing.

 

Few practices have the money to hire nationally-recognizable influencers. For that reason, unfortunately, some healthcare business owners have written off influencer marketing as something that’s a waste of time.

 

However, the rise of micro-influencer marketing has delivered substantial results for many practices. 

 

As a practice, considering influencer marketing is to focus on micro-influencers: people who have authority with the (relatively) small audience of people who are in the market for services like yours.

Micro-influencers may be industry superstars or popular local figures. In other words, they have influence over an audience who might also be interested in your practice. Focusing on them means spending far less money than you would on a celebrity influencer for a higher rate of return. You can find influencers by searching for relevant hashtags and looking for people who are sharing content to your target audience. 

Another great way to discover micro-influencers in your local area is to search under the geo-location tab on Instagram. There you will discover accounts who show up locally. Digging a bit deeper into these accounts might yield who commands the attention and engagement of an ideal local audience!

 

Optimize for Mobile 

 

Our final tip cuts across all formats and social media sites. At this point in our digital history, you should assume that everybody accessing your content is doing so via a mobile device. There’s no excuse for not optimizing your social media content for mobile users.

 

On Pinterest and Instagram, use rectangular pictures with a 2:3 aspect ratio. This method works great on mobile platforms.

 

Social media marketing has come a long way! It’s time to get caught up and try some new things. As we head into the second rest of the year, take advantage of the updates to increase your ROI and profits.

8 Social Media Forget Worthy Myths in 2021


There’s no question that social media marketing is, and will continue to be, important for practice. If we hold this to be true, there are also a lot of social media myths that are annoyingly persistent and believing them can hurt your practice.

There are a number of myths that you need to debunk if you want to grow your practice on social media.

#1: You Need a Presence on Every Social Media Site

The notion that you need a presence on every social media site is one of the most harmful myths for healthcare business owners. It takes time, effort, and money to maintain an active presence on ANY social media site and nobody has time for all of them.

What you need is an active and meaningful presence on the sites that offer you the best opportunity to connect with your target audience and engage your patients. Nothing else matters. Most practices should be on Facebook. 

Does this mean you should never try something new? Of course not! Set up a profile and give it a try. But if the site you choose isn’t giving you the results you want, cut it loose.

#2: Fans and Followers are Worthless if They Don’t Become Paying Patients 

Social media is a great way to attract new patients. But, it can also be a bit challenging for healthcare business owners to use it properly.

A common misconception we hear about is a lot of healthcare business owners who think that followers who aren’t paying patients aren’t worth having – and that’s not true.

Your fans and followers don’t need to buy from you to be useful. Having a large following can raise your profile and help new patients find you. If you’ve got fans or followers who have a lot of clout, you’ll get some of it by association. 

Most importantly, a follower who doesn’t buy your services could still refer their friends and followers to your practice. You should run ads designed to attract paying patients but don’t ignore the benefits of followers who aren’t your patients. They’re still helpful.

#3: It’s Useful to Have Your Friends and Family “Like” Your Posts

Another common mistake healthcare business owners make when it comes to social media marketing is asking your friends and family to ‘Like’ your posts. It would be more beneficial to find a way to engage with your posts instead!

It doesn’t mean that you should tell people not to like your posts. Instead, it means that you should always be asking people to engage with your content and share it with them.

#4: You Shouldn’t Schedule Posts on the Weekend

It’s a common practice for practices not to share new social media content on the weekend. While it’s true that some of your followers might not spend as much time on social media on the weekends as they do during the week, you shouldn’t assume that weekend content is unnecessary.

Instead, try scheduling a few weekend posts to see how they do. You can use Facebook Insights or whatever analytics tool you prefer to determine which days and times are the best for posting.

#5: You Must Respond to Social Media Comments Immediately

It’s important to respond to a question or leave a comment in a timely manner. But responding in a manner that doesn’t drop everything can be very time-consuming.

If you have a social media presence, then you should be sure that your patient support is done quickly. With the rise of Facebook Messenger, practices can now offer their patients a variety of chatbot solutions to handle their needs.

However, a comment that doesn’t require patient support involvement can wait a little while for a response. As a rule, try to respond within 24 hours.

#6: Social Media Posts Must Always Be Practice-like

Social media is social first and media second, but a lot of healthcare business owners forget that. Their social media posts are as dry as dust and don’t get any engagement. And they wonder why.

Don’t be afraid to inject some personality into your social media posts. Even if you offer a professional service, you can still use appropriate humor or compassion in your posts. This is the place to showcase your brand personality. Make sure that anybody who is empowered to post on your social media accounts understands the persona you want to project.

#7: You Need Endless New Content to Post

It’s good practice to publish new content regularly on your social media sites. However, there’s nothing wrong with repurposing or resharing old content if you don’t have time to write something new.

You can also find relevant content by sourcing it from industry publications and influencers. Curating content and offering feedback on the content you are sharing is a great way to position you and your practice as an expert or thought leader on your industry’s subject matter.

#8: Social Media Marketing is Free

This final myth is one that I hear often. While it is free to set up a social media account for your practice, you’re unlikely to get the results you want without spending some money.

The more you promote your content on social media, the more likely it is that your followers will see it.

The only way you can be sure that your followers will see your most important content is to boost it and or leverage paid advertising. Social media marketing can help you get your content in front of potential patients. The good news is that you don’t need to spend much to get the results you want.

The 8 myths I have listed here are all past their prime. Learn to navigate them and you’ll see your social media marketing results improve – and your business grow.
