3 Strategies for Creating Dental Content That Prompts Action
The default approach when creating dental content could be having a negative impact on your desired response. Everyone does it, including you on occasion (or more often than you realize).
David Ogilvy nails the approach in his classic book, Ogilvy on Advertising:
“When I write an advertisement, I don’t want you to tell me that you find it ‘creative.’ I want you to find it so interesting that you buy the product. When Aeschines spoke, they said, ‘How well he speaks.’ But when Demosthenes spoke, they said, ‘Let us march against Philip.’”
There’s more to creating compelling dental content than being “cute” or “creative.” It’s essential that you compel your reader, patient, or client to take action.
Sometimes that action is immediate: “I’m ready to schedule my next dental examination and teeth cleaning…”
At other times that action is a thought your reader has: “I like what I’m reading here. Think I’ll return for more…and schedule when I’m ready…”
Why do you take action?
It’s more than having a “want-to.” Action moves you in the direction of your emotion.
The same applies to your patients and/or clients.
I talk a lot on this blog about emotion. Again, this bears repeating:
“People buy things for emotional, not rational reasons.”
Here are a few approaches you can use to compel action via your dental content (without defaulting to creativity).
1-Create an image
I’m not talking about a photo or a stock image. It’s about compelling your reader emotionally by going for their jugular…I mean… their beliefs.
Your patients or clients function according to their core values. It’s their world-view, their desires, and their goals that propel them.
Tap into that with a more narrative approach. That is, give them an experience that tugs at their emotional core.
If you keep up with marketing dialogue these days you hear about “storytelling.”
Story “sells” not because it’s necessarily creative but because it creates an image of a preferable future or a problem solved.
The Wall Street Journal achieved $2 billion in subscriptions with a promotion that began as follows:
“On a beautiful late spring afternoon, twenty-five years ago, two young men graduated from the same college. They were very much alike, these two young men. Both had been better than average students, bother were personable and both – as young college graduates are – were filled with ambitious dreams for the future.
Recently, these two men returned to college for their 25th reunion.”
Got an image “burned” in your mind now? That’s what I’m talking about!
Get the rest of The Wall Street Journal promotion story here.
2-Build suspense (instead of giving away the “plot”)
If you come out “swinging” you’re likely to tire too quickly before your content or copy can gain momentum. Or your reader will be “onto-you” and bolt with a simple click off the page or on the “trashcan” icon.
Music has a crescendo.
Think: Queen’s Bohemian Rhapsody.
Speeches build to a powerful close.
Think: Martin Luther King, Jr’s “I Have a Dream” speech.
3-Assemble a “tribe”
Who doesn’t like the feeling of belonging? We love to group around shared values, experiences, and the collective watering hole where our decisions are influenced.
It’s about influence really.
The more your expertise gains a reputation for delivering value the more your tribe will increase.
By “tribe” I’m referring to those who find your dental content to be informative, relevant, conversational, compelling, and benefit-focused.
Picture a campfire or a circle of beach chairs within steps of the surf. Imagine the feeling of warmth and engagement that’s felt by two, six, ten, 100, or more…!
Tribes create viral responses. And viral results are the essence of influence.
Bottom-line: your dental content success is about the action your reader is compelled to take. Stir them to action and they’ll stick with you for the long-haul.
How Influence is More Vital Than Ever to Your Dental Content Marketing Strategy
Election season. You love it or hate it.
Wherever you affectionately land there’s more to the process. The same is true for having an online presence for your dental practice or dental industry business.
I don’t blame those who are a bit disinterested or jaded about American politics. And I’m not here to “stump” one way or the other.
My better point: the right to vote (however you feel about the current stable of candidates) is a privilege of citizenship. It’s a right granted you and I as result of our country’s fight for and preservation of freedom.I
What comes with the “territory”
Rights and privileges are worth protecting. Better is their ability to be used or maximized to their fullest potential.
You don’t have to agree with everything or everyone. But you do have a cause to act.
Action is the energy of your online dental marketing efforts. Succeed or fail, “casting-your-vote” is the essence of the privilege associated with having a piece of territory on the internet.
Sure, it’s a massive space. And you’re one among the billion or so.
Daunting. Yes.
But it comes down to one thing
Value. Not everyone who owns a piece of cyberspace uses it deliver value.
You? Me? I count myself among the value-delivery crowd. And hopefully you do as well.
No, not every blog post, Tweet, newsletter, email, or shared article is a world-changer. But I do approach it feeling as though I deliver something my growing “tribe” will read and be helped by.
And frankly, for starters, that’s enough!
Whatever you do online…do this as consistently as possible.
Create, Deliver, and Share Valuable Content
Increase your influence
I have a client whose influence as a consultant is on the rise. Why?
She recognizes the value, scope, and scalability of hers and her organization’s influence. The weekly content I help her create provides value to a segment of her industry target.
Notice I said, “segment.” You won’t influence everyone.
Focus on a niche within the greater industry universe you occupy. Tap into their pain, problems, and search for relevant solutions. Write, broadcast, email, market to that…consistently!
Showing up on their consciousness “radar” on a regular basis will nestle you into their thinking when they need the help you provide.
Online search these days revolves more and more around your intent. What kind of intent?
Your intent to help. Your online presence that’s branded, so to speak, with a particular library of useful content.
Invest in your influence
Desiring to have influence and being able to consistently deliver on that desire are two different things. For example, as a copy/content writer and content strategist I’m an investment to my previously mentioned consultant client.
I collaborate and create content for her “brand.” She has invested an amount of her marketing stake in my skill to research and write content.
Many dental professionals, dentists, and dental industry business owners desire to expand their influence. And they take a step into the content marketing sea.
Then they become weary. Why?
Consistent content curation, content writing, and content publishing takes time. For most, it’s time you as a professional do not have.
Outsource content curation and creation to other skilled professionals. Locate a go-to copy/content writer, resource them financially, and set them free to consistently stoke your influence via your brand’s content.
Your name is still the one in lights. The content shines on your behalf.
It’s a better approach than a random blog post or digital article here and there. Consistency reveals that you’re dialed in, available, and in tune with your “audience.”
And the quality is also no longer an issue. Although being there with consistently, useful content holds the top spot.
Influence transcends many things. And I’d have to agree that (given the current season where I live) politics is one of them.
How “Irritating” is Your Dental Content? And is That a Good Thing?
Years ago, I heard author/consultant, Jim Collins (Built to Last, Good to Great), speak. During his talk he said something I will always remember.
Your dental marketing influence on new patients or new clients rises and falls. It will achieve greater consistency when you create and use content according to what I remember Collins saying.
He made this statement about the sharing of ideas and principles – “I want what I share today to be like an irritating grain of sand stuck in the folds of your brain…”
Not to say that you want to “irritate” new or potential patients/clients into action. But the principle applies.
Content irritation?
The goal of your dental marketing content isn’t to irritate in the purest sense of that word. It’s more a matter of sustained front-of-mind presence.
Your potential patients/clients seek their information differently these days. It’s short of reflexive to reach for a smart phone or tablet device and “Google” the answer to their “burning” question.
What shows up in the search queue is vital to your ongoing ability to reach and compel them. More often than not a link to an article will pop-up in their search results.
Are you there?
I’m talking “there” in the sense of having a consistent presence via content that’s useful and relevant to their search. They’re looking for you, a dentist, or you as a dental industry professional and their “pain-point” is the motivation for seeking your services.
Or your new patient is sitting in your operatory following the exam, x-ray, and teeth cleaning as result of your latest promotion. Treatment is necessary.
A treatment plan is being presented. They have a decision to make.
Are they prepped and equipped with the information to make the decision?
Information flows
Your target audience makes decisions based on the compelling quality of the information presented to them. It would make sense that the more, compelling, informative, useful, and available information…the better, right?
Content creates a river effect. It flows towards expectant and otherwise seeking-to-be-informed people, not unlike yourself.
You’re reading this blog for much the same reason. A need or desire for the information prompted you to click a link and read it.
Or it was shared with you via a respected colleague, friend, or social media connection (always appreciated, by the way).
Welcome to the new era of content community.
How to Use Consistent Content to Inform and Compel New Patients or New Clients to Take Action on Your Services
Use the echo-effect.
Become a voice that “echoes” in the consciousness of your patients/clients. This happens when you show up consistently on their “radar” via compelling content.
You have limited hours of operation, marketing dollars to invest, and time to maximize your connections. Content works for you around-the-clock, so to speak.
Create “echo-points!”
- Create and send emails to your patient/client list. Link to relevant blog posts, articles, and/or social media channels. Limit how much you email promotions compared with the amount of “content-echo” you distribute to your list. A will timed email with a link to a relevant content channel could tip a new or current patient/client to take the next step.
- Use voice-mail (if you must rely on phone contact) more strategically. Craft the message (content) you leave with unavailable patients/clients to include a call to action. Avoid saying “call us back,” etc. Give them a reason to feel they’re missing out on something if they don’t return your call.
- Make audio/visual content available for after-hours “echoes.” Use short podcasts, YouTube videos, Periscope, Instagram, GIFs, SnapChat, etc.
Construct a go-to archive of valuable information.
Your online presence (via a website) should resemble a library more than a digital brochure. Archived content (blog posts, articles, videos, podcasts, etc.) set you up as an authority.
- Catalog your posts and articles by category. This improves eye-scan impact and ease of access.
- Use your content platform as reference point for patient/client questions – “What’s your email address? I’ll forward you a link to a blog post/article/podcast that will answer your question…” This gives you an opportunity to “echo.”
Release your collective influence.
This follows the previous tip. Your content becomes a second voice of influence beyond yours and that of your team.
Again, having content to share increases your authority and influence. Plus, not all of your team members (you included) are rock-stars at closing the “deal.” (treatment plans, etc.).
And content relieves all that “salesy-speak” that’s so easy to use when trying to close treatment or a sale.
Content gives you permission to keep promoting – even when you aren’t present…or as a reference point when you are.
Front-of-mind consistency is the strength of your dental content. It’s the type of “irritation” you shouldn’t mind having.
Is This Obsession “Killing” Your Dental Marketing Content?
An obsession. You probably have one (or more).
I do.
Relax. This isn’t confession time.
But I will confess to one thing. I’m obsessed these days with helping dental website owners and developers end their obsession with feature-heavy content.
Features have their place. Actually, they have one strategic purpose…and overuse isn’t one of them.
My so-called, “rant” is valid these days. It’s a “sore-spot” with me primarily because I’m still recoiling from related (“You didn’t tell people how great we are…”) push-back on a client’s web page copy I recently shipped (it’s not the first time and probably won’t be the last).
Let’s define what I mean by “features.” They are any aspect or related wording that describes your product or service.
Think color, clarity, class, or construction. Features are the easiest to spot and “spin” when writing copy.
Typically, feature-intense writing requires less creative energy. Why?
You’re merely describing what’s in front of you or how you want your reader, buyer, customer, client, or patient to see your product/service.
Features are easy to recognize because they’re commonly accented with words like “state-of-the-art,” “cutting-edge,” or any word ending in “-est” (e.g. “latest,” “greatest,” “best,” etc).
The comparative truth about features in your copy/content
Features have their place. Where?
Alongside compelling benefits.
Features appeal to your patient’s or client’s logic. Benefits connect your patient’s or client’s emotional desire with your product or service.
Compel a response with BENEFITS.
Then…
Rationalize their decision with FEATURES.
Copywriter and author, Bob Bly, shares a classic illustration of the Feature-Benefit issue in his book, The Copywriter’s Handbook.
“Features and Benefits of a #2 Pencil
Feature: The pencil is a wooden cylinder surrounded by a graphite core. Benefit: Can be re-sharpened as often as you like to ensure clean, crisp writing.
Feature: One end is capped by a rubber eraser. Benefit: Convenient eraser lets you correct writing errors cleanly and quickly.
Feature: Eraser is attached with a metal band. Benefit: Tight-fitting metal band holds eraser snugly in place – so you’ll always have an eraser when you need it.
Feature: Pencil is 7.5 inches long. Benefit: Long length ensures long writing life.
Feature: Pencil is 1/4 inch in diameter. Benefit: Slender shape makes it easy to hold and comfortable to write with.
Feature: Pencil is a #2. Benefit: Graphite core is blended so that it writes smoothly , yet is crisp and easy-to-read.
Feature: Yellow exterior. Benefit: Bright yellow exterior ensures that it’s easy to spot on a messy desk or in a crowded drawer.
Feature: Sold by the dozen. Benefit: Sold in a convenient 12-pack so if you lose one, you don’t have to run to the store for another. Also, more cost-effective.” (pp. 59-60)
Understand that features have their place in your content. But ultimately, the “selling/compelling point” is the benefit.
How to Turn Your Obsession with Features Into More Compelling, Benefit-Focused Content
For every feature – think benefit
Review Bly’s #2 pencil illustration. You’ve held a pencil, placed a pencil behind your ear, chewed on a pencil for years, right?
And you probably didn’t give thought to the benefits listed in the example. But they are present nonetheless.
The task of your copy/content is to uncover the hidden benefits, expose them to your reader, and compel them to take action as result. This is the hard work of copywriting.
- Train your senses to see, hear, smell, touch benefits. View your products/services through a sensory lens.
- List every benefit you can think of for the product/service you’re promoting. Build your content around them.
Refuse to list a feature in your copy/content unless it’s accompanied by a compelling benefit.
Ruthlessly eliminate feature-fluff in your copy. I’ll go so far as to say that using fluff words (”state-of-the-art,” “cutting-edge,” etc) is the lazy approach.
Again, it takes work to uncover and craft content around benefits. Then apply the extra effort to rationalize them with features.
Ask why your newest equipment, service, product, etc is “state-of-the-art.” How does that “fluff-wording” translate to a compelling benefit? Write to that!
Get emotional.
Compelling copy grabs your reader’s emotions. It’s not only about tears and fears (though those are strong emotional responses).
The better part of emotions involves painting a picture for your reader. It’s guiding them to see themselves using, benefiting from, and being changed by your product or service.
A feature gets their attention. A benefit compels a decision.
- Think like your reader/client/patient. What would you feel, sense, believe about the product/service?
- List the emotional triggers that your product/service touches on. Attach a benefit to that emotion.
Get obsessed about your copy/content. But make sure there’s a benefit.
Why Consistent Content Creation is a Supremely Healthy Dental Marketing Strategy
My wife and I have done this annually for the past three years. There’s a multi-layered benefit to it and the same is true of the commitment you can choose for creating and publishing content to promote your dental services.
We begin each year in January with a 21 day “fast.” Before you picture us in a meditative pose becoming emaciated by the day as we deny ourselves basic nourishment – that’s not the deal.
Basically, a “fast” can apply to denying yourself anything from food to technology for a designated period of time. Ours fundamentally involves eliminating “junk food” (all that sugar loaded goodness we overindulge in) and eating a cleaner, high-protein and vegetable intense diet.
Our core motivation and benefit is spiritual – denying ourselves cleanses the soul and sharpens our faith. The sub-plot benefits, if you would, include a system-cleanse (body health) and establishing new, healthier habits (diet, self-control, mindset, etc.).
Core benefits
There’s a primary reason for promoting your dental services – to provide solutions or deliver relief from “pain” (physical or emotional). There are more, sure, but this is a core reminder of why you do what you do.
Now, what’s your core marketing strategy?
It’s common to default to direct mail, launching a website, upgrading your website with graphics and other “flash,” purchasing Facebook or Google ads. And there’s nothing essentially wrong with any of those.
But can we talk “denial” for a moment?
Any one of those denies what is becoming a fundamental reality about how your patients or clients are compelled to do “business” with you.
A direct mailer can add to your production schedule (if the timing is right for what you’re promoting). Your new or newly redesigned website can improve your online curb-appeal (if your website is visited). And your Facebook or Google ad dollars invested can increase your online click-throughs and again, increase your bottom-line profits (again, if the timing or appeal of your promotion is spot-on as they scroll).
The core issue that an ever increasing crowd are beginning to understand (Are you one of them?)
Content is king…IF!
If I appear biased via this blog – you’re right…I am!
Perhaps it’s because I’m an information junkie. Or maybe it’s because I have an insatiable curiosity for new knowledge and problem solving information.
Yes to those reasons and many others. But it’s more about the fact that I know and understand that one thing ultimately compels people to respond to what you promote, provide, sell, or distribute.
It’s trust!
So…what does trust have to do with “content (being) king?”
Before I continue building my case for the “content is king…IF” idea, I must say that it’s about framework or context.
Content reigns supreme in today’s marketing when it’s intentional, strategic, and useful. You will need a framework to achieve long-term, beneficial results from it.
Blog posts, email series’, social media posts, newsletter articles, podcasts, etc are all part of a bigger picture, according to Sonia Simone.
Consider this a foundational piece of a framework I’m preparing to lay down over the next few weeks on this blog. My goal is to help you establish a new way of thinking about your dental marketing strategy and to encourage you to “fast” from all those go-to, default, knee-jerk, we-gotta-increase-our-production-so-call-the-printer-for-a-new-direct-mail-flyer type of reactions that are all too typical of some dental marketing campaigns.
Build trust outside-the-box…
…And use content to do it.
Rarely does anyone, if ever, feel a bond of trust with a service business because of flyer received in the mail. Sure, the eye-catching graphics or cleverly worded copy might open the door to a relationship but the appeal can be lost quicker than it’s gained in most instances.
Instead, consider what would happen if, over time, a relevant, useful piece of content was published and easily viewed via a smartphone or tablet. If the content solves a problem or answers a question relevant to your target reader, what begins to happen?
Trust rises.
You have a better opportunity for instilling trust through a problem-solving, question-answering blog post or podcast than you do through a random, numbing piece of paper that’s included in the daily mail. Front of mind can begin with a flashy mailer but trust is sustained over time via usefulness.
And usefulness translates BEST via easy to read and easy to consume content.
I’ll crown content “king” for now with that thought. Stay tuned…
Are There “Gaps” in Your Dental Website That Expose You to Failure?
The recent winter weather did some damage to our property. It’s not significant but some minor repairs are in order.
Timing isn’t always on your side when the weather is involved. But the timing is always right to evaluate your current dental website and close some of the gaps that make your marketing vulnerable to failure.
A gap is precisely what I have in my fence as result of the strong winter winds that blew through my region recently. As I early mentioned, the damage isn’t significant by comparison but my suburban property feels exposed now that I lost two sections of privacy fencing.
Close the gaps
I write a significant amount of webpage copy for dental practices, dental consultants, and dental industry businesses. There’s a gap these days between those that are riding the wave of content marketing strategy (one that I do not believe will go away anytime soon) and those that are either satisfied with their online (website) presence or assume that having one up-and-done is enough.
The gap is widening. If you’re on the side of the fence that values consistent, useful content published via a blog, newsletter, podcast, online course, ebooks, email series’, etc you’re positioned to take your “world” by storm.
On the other hand, if you’re resisting or uninformed about the value of content to stimulate your dental marketing, brace yourself for a storm of frustration. You could find yourself wondering why your dental website visitors arrive but don’t stay…or more important – don’t schedule.
It’s time to close the gaps. You shouldn’t feel exposed to frustration or worse waste your valuable dental marketing dollars over the next 12 months on a website that’s basically a digital brochure.
Exposing Your Dental Website “Gaps” and the Strategic “Repairs” You Can Make to Increase Your Value to Patients or Clients
Assess the “damage”
Your patients/clients visit your website for one, primary reason – to access information about your services. Their response hinges on what they discover in the first few seconds of arriving there.
“Gap”: Thinking it’s necessary to differentiate yourself with flashy web page banners or spotlighting your brand image/logo. You can damage your online influence if you’re solely relying on “creative, visual elements” to compel your site visitor to schedule or contract with you.
Damage assessment solution: Build credibility and potential for repeat site visits by providing simple, understandable answers to the questions your patients/clients are asking.
- Fill-the-gap with blog posts/articles published a minimum of two times per month, a downloadable podcast, a consistently published Q&A-like newsletter, or an easy to access and read ebook.
- Spend your available annual marketing dollars on those strategies that provide useful, valuable information your visitors are seeking.
Clear the “debris”
No doubt, dentistry is a technical industry. Healthcare relies on skilled expertise to diagnose and treat effectively.
“Gap”: Thinking it’s essential to thoroughly explain the technical details of your dental services, treatment, and procedures so your patients/clients will want to schedule/use your services. In essence, believing that the more they know, the more likely they are to view you as an expert and schedule.
There’s a better way…
Clean-up solution: Your authority/expertise is recognized more by your ability to speak your site visitors language. Leave the industry-speak to your communication with colleagues, at conventions, or your local study-club.
- Eliminate “jargon,” “fluff-content,” over explained services/procedures, high word count descriptions, and unnecessary credential data.
- Create a compelling connection with your site visitor through every-day language via conversationally written web page copy, blog posts, articles, newsletters, etc. (to keep the language conversational and every-day it’s a good idea for someone to write it other than you…no offense).
Restore the “solution”
Clarity rules. And simplicity shouldn’t imply poor quality or design.
“Gap”: Thinking that a graphically intense, creatively unique, high word count website will build trust with your audience.
Repair solution: Creative design, more words, and indulgent graphics can make your website more difficult to navigate, to understand, and unclear about what visitors should do next. Ditch the mindset that says, “(Our) website must compete on a creative level with every other dental industry site in our area/region….”
Your patients/clients will visit, stay, return, and schedule your services for one fundamental reason – you provide clear, compelling answers to their questions or solutions to their problems. Clarity and simplicity trump creative.
- Stand out creatively through informative and consistent content. Distribute your creative-vibe via your social media channels (Facebook page, Instagram, YouTube, etc.).
- Be an authoritative resource and you’ll compel trust…and action. And speaking of action – restore your web pages to include a clear call-to-action (e.g. “Contact us to schedule…,” “Click here for more information…,” etc.).
These simple repairs will close the “gaps” in your website and your digital marketing strategy. It’s best to create good exposure for your authority and expertise than to be exposed via ineffective web page content.
4 Strategies to Raise Your Dental Marketing Expectations for a Successful New Year
It wasn’t at all what he expected. And the outcome he experienced reminds me that setting your expectations accurately and appropriately can create new beginnings in your dental marketing.
Our grandson recently asked to “chase” his distasteful medicine with a “spoonful” of sugar. I agreed, casually grabbed a spoon from the drawer, dipped into the container, and delivered his request to a smiling face.
His reaction was priceless. He jumped up from the sofa, sputtering, spewing, and reported his distaste for what was served up saying, “That’s CREAMER!”
In my defense, I do not use sugar in my coffee. That said, I’m accustomed to only spooning a dash of creamer into my morning brew.
I instinctively reached for the creamer thinking it to be sugar. We laughed, as did our grandson after he cleansed his palate with the aforementioned requested sugar treat.
Meeting expectations
You should trust that you’ll receive what you expect. That’s often not the case.
Your audience comes to your dental practice or dental service business with a load of expectations. These days what’s expected has shifted a bit due to how information about your services is consumed.
And speaking of information…
Now’s a perfect time to review and hit refresh on informational content that can help you set your dental marketing expectation for the coming months. And being intentional with your expectations can improve your approach to those nagging New Year’s resolutions you feel compelled to make but fail to fulfill.
Consider this post a dental marketing reboot of some common themes from the past few months of posts.
How to Raise Your Dental Marketing Expectations and Experience a Compelling Amount of Success This Year
Renew your thinking about dental SEO
As I’ve written here before, I do not consider myself to be an SEO expert or specialist. I know enough to be “dangerous” in a sense.
And maybe that’s my point. Too much SEO thinking can blind you on your path to online success.
Here’s the deal (and this much I do know) – SEO isn’t about “gaming” or “baiting” your online presence. True SEO creates search expectations around the delivery of useful, informative, valuable content.
This is SEO, of course. But it’s not the SEO you’re perhaps conditioned to believe you must have on your website or else…
Think SEO but…think about it differently!
- Create content around solutions (answers) to the problems (questions) your online visitors are experiencing (asking).
- Make your website content savvy and the SEO will satisfy your online dental marketing expectations.

Revise your dental website
A website is only the beginning. It’s not a one-and-done dental marketing strategy.
Think of your website as a platform with access to multiple content channels. Those channels are where your dental “consumers” should be able to easily navigate information that (once again) provides solutions (answers) to their problems (questions).
- Lead with your blog/article page. Lose the mindset that you must have high word count, information-heavy, dental-speak fluff on your service/procedure pages (people read what informs them…not what you think they need to know about x, y, or z dental procedure – that’s your world…not theirs).
- Give your website visitors easy to access, readable, visual, audible content. Think blog, YouTube, and Podcast instead of a Wikipedia-like dental procedure glossary. Instead of a tired-does-anybody-read-it-anyway FAQ page chunk those frequently asked questions into compelling blog posts.
Check out more related insight here.
Re-purpose your content
Having a blog/article page that you consistently publish to gives you options. The more blog/article content you have the greater your ability to re-purpose the content.
Remember…
Some website visitors are readers. Some are visually oriented. Some are listeners.
- (For your “readers”) Re-purpose your written content (blog posts, articles, etc.) into e-books, a call-to-action email series, a newsletter, a tip-sheet, etc.
- (For your “viewers”) Re-purpose your written content into a YouTube video (a vlog), a Periscope, a Slide-Share, an Infographic, or other visual content like a GIF, Meme, etc you can post on your social media channels (Facebook, Instagram, Twitter).
- (For your “listeners”) Re-purpose your written content into a podcast or downloadable MP3.
Check out more related insight here.
Re-orient your marketing mindset (think content)
How?
Rinse and repeat the first three points…because content rules!
I raise my expectations that you’ll continue returning here for more dental marketing perspective weekly throughout the year. Thanks for being part of this community…it’s appreciated!
Happy New Year!
