Facebook Chiropractic Marketing
Posted on February 17th, 2009. Filed under: Computers and Internet.Being the fact it’s only just a few years old, Facebook has recently exploded in growth and substantially risen in the popularity ranks. Like other social networks and platforms, in no other place can you connect with so many highly-targeted people in so little time with your chiropractic marketing. Talk about one of the ultimate forms of leverage! As Facebook continues to virally sizzle with user-activity, many corporate giants are fighting tooth-and-nail to get a piece of the marketing pie.
Did you hear about Google, Yahoo, and Microsoft having a huge bidding extravaganza to buy just a small piece of Facebooks universal popularity? Well its true. Microsoft was finally the victor, spending 240 million dollars for a tiny 2% of Facebook! What does this have to do with chiropractic marketing, you ask? The big guys know what they’re doing, and that should clue you into the power that Facebook holds in store for chiropractic marketing and your business as well. Facebook is nearly worth 15 billion, and you too can have a piece of the pie.
When I first began teaching social networking and social media marketing to chiropractors 3 three years ago, Myspace was the big-boy on the block and Facebook was only for college students. The score has been evened, though, as Facebook opened up globally to everyone and now is a major competitor. Myspace has actually copied many things from it’s cut-throat competitor including the addition of live-feeds and separate and distinct applications. Chiropractors have never had a better opportunity like right now to brand themselves and reap massive financial rewards social networks like this.
So, why have I been “shouting on the roof-tops” about the goldmine of social media websites like Facebook for years? In case you are unaware, Facebook has over 140 million active members at this moment and is growing by more than 200,000 new users daily! That type of swirling buzz should grab any business owner or entrepreneurs attention very quick.
When it comes specifically to chiropractic marketing, you’re able to connect with countless people in your community and successfully brand yourself in a way that is appealing and personable. People are going to begin to come to you with their health problems, because they have seen you and feel that they trust you. This means that social media sites will actively help you draw tons of new patients through your doors each month.
Its important to remember that chiropractic marketing in this way is not only free, but its enjoyable along the process. You get to relate with people in your community with this highly-specialized marketing tactic. No matter what your business sells, you can find your niche in the online market and begin to see encouraging amounts of new business. Connect with people by sharing your interests and hobbies, and finding people with the same interests and hobbies.
Google and Microsoft know that were on the edge of a marketing revolution using social media sites, so chiropractors need to get on the bandwagon as well. Begin today by starting your Facebook account, and explore the site to learn about all its fun options that allow you to connect with other people.
Join groups on these social media sites that you identify with and share your story with the world. When you not only sell your practice but also sell yourself as a product, you will have much more success. Brand yourself and clearly establish yourself as the leader in your field, building credibility and respect. Soon people will follow the leader, and walk through your doors needing your services.
