Medical Marketing with Online Videos

Struggling to attract new patients has been the feature of many medical practices. Very few practices know how to make an effective use of all the resources in a fresh, unique and pioneering way. Medical marketing using online videos can help you withstand some serious competition from other doctors and medical professionals in your area.

So why invest in developing videos? Video marketing is an efficient way to engage with old patients and simultaneously attract new ones. A short, simple and professionally created video has the power to convey your message across thousands of probable patients without spending much. Videos allow physicians to connect with prospective patients even before their visit to the clinic. Some of the key benefits associated with online video marketing include:
  • Easy deliverability of your core message to probable patients.
  • Affordable marketing solution that fits your budget.
  • Distribution to YouTube for a broader reach and exposure.
  • Easily found in leading search engines along with search engine optimization benefits.
  • Drives more visitors to your medical practice website.
  • Creates a positive image about your practice in prospective patients’ mind.

Whether you own a dental practice or a cardiology, following online video marketing tips will benefit you in an exponential way:
  • If you have developed an e-video for your practice, don’t forget to upload it on YouTube. This may be obvious, but many healthcare professionals forget to upload their video on YouTube. Instead, they upload it on their website that targets only a handful of clients. Uploading your video on YouTube gives your practice a chance to reach millions of people.
  • Social networking websites like Facebook and Twitter allow video sharing. Upload your practice’s video on these sites for fans and followers to see. In addition, your fans will be able to share your video with friends making more people aware of your practice.
  • Make sure your video is not lengthy. Exaggerated video can turn off the mood of a potential client. A 30-second video is enough to explain your practice, services and even introduce yourself and supporting team to the patient.
