Chiropractic Apps: iPhone & Android Apps for Chiropractors

Chiropractic iPhone & Android AppsIf you’re an Apple aficionado, you’re probably already aware of Apple’s big iPhone event that’s scheduled for tomorrow. If you have no clue on what I’m talking about, then see Brett Molina’s Report: Apple event slated for Oct. 4 that was featured in USA Today.

Just like previous events, Apple will hit a home run by unveiling new products and services that’ll transform the way we do business and enjoy life. It’s the former that I’d like to focus on today — transforming the way chiropractors do business.

Over 50% of those that connect to the Internet today are doing so via a mobile device. Local mobile search volume is growing exponentially at 50% per year. 80% of searchers research online before purchasing in a 10-20 mile radius. And, the #1 access method for local information is the mobile browser with 20.7 million users per month.

With so many prospects turning to mobile devices, I have to wonder how many chiropractors are capitalizing on this phenomenon or just simply letting business pass them by.

Is YOUR chiropractic practice ready?

Does Chiropractic Blogging Make Sense For Chiropractors?

Inbound Marketing StrategiesWhen compared to traditional marketing, inbound marketing is an entirely new concept. Because of this most chiropractors have problems making the transition. But in today’s rapidly-changing, technology-driven society, the writing is on the wall — either jump in whole-heartedly to succeed or stand complacently on the sidelines as your chiropractic business fails.

When considering inbound marketing, chiropractors need to focus on strategies that not only produce quick results but also lay deep digital roots for the future. Chiropractic blogging accomplishes the latter. Even though it may not produce immediate results, it is absolutely essential for building a large footprint online for your chiropractic business

Mobile Marketing for Chiropractors

As 2011 progressed, many chiropractors began emailing me on how to get started. Matter of fact, I’ve received more emails regarding mobile marketing than any other topic over the last few months. Because of both the need and interest, I founded Mobile Marketing for Chiropractors.

Can Your Chiropractic Twitter Campaign Do This?

TwitterI just stumbled upon a brilliant Twitter campaign by TurkCell, a Turkish telecom company, who was trying to gain brand awareness as well as get the word out quickly about one of their new products.

The campaign was ran entirely on Twitter using the hashtag #Tuckcelltweet and revolved around a series of games that used Post-it ® Notes.

The entire campaign generated a staggering 56,000 tweets over 3 days and reached approximately 3.6 million people via Twitter.

As I watched the following video, I couldn’t help to wonder — what campaigns could chiropractors create that’d generate similar results? All it’d take is some serious brainstorming mixed with a ton of creativity.

Are you up for the challenge?

How Chiropractic Bloggers Can Avoid Writer’s Block

Wad of PaperEvery once in a while chiropractic bloggers face the inevitable writer’s block. Although there are various causes, most blocks simply come from a lack of creativity or inspiration. Others come from a misunderstanding of the purpose of a blog.

Matter of fact, I hear it all of the time … “What’s so important about what I have to say?” or “Will people understand what I’m talking about?”

If you’ve asked yourself the above questions, then you’re approaching your blog from the wrong perspective. Remember, it’s not about you, it’s about them!

Every time you sit in front of your computer to write a new blog post, think about what your readers want to read. Better yet, find out what they’re searching for when they visit Google or other search engines. This will help fine-tune your message and get it noticed during search.

In addition, get creative by using online resources. By being an ear and eye, you’ll not only produce better content that meets the needs, wants, and desires of your prospects but will also become more efficient with your time.

For starters, check out the following resources that’ll help chiropractors avoid writer’s block.

How To Add Facebook Questions to Your Chiropractic Facebook Page

Facebook Questions

Late last week, Facebook released a new version of its Questions Tool. Soon after that it began rolling out the feature to Facebook Pages.

The cool thing about Facebook Questions is that it gives chiropractors the ability to quickly survey fans, potential patients, as well as current patients on multiple things related to chiropractic, general health, et cetera…

As Facebook says, “Learn from your friends, see where people stand, and share what you know.”

Also, by creating quick polls, you can gather information quickly that’ll help you, for example, refine certain marketing campaigns, determine the benefits of participating in upcoming community events, and other scenarios that’ll potentially affect your business’s bottom line.

But, to take advantage of this new feature, you need to add Questions to your chiropractic Facebook Page. Here’s how …

3 Ways to Market Local Using Mobile for Chiropractors

Market Local Using MobileAs more mobile devices flood the marketplace, chiropractors need to follow suit by making sure their web presence is mobile-friendly. By doing so, you’ll not only remove barriers that people face when trying to access web content via a mobile device but will also increase your chance of winning business right out of the gate.

There’s a business principle that should drive home this point — First impressions are lasting impressions.

What type of impression are you projecting when prospects view your website? Is it one that portrays an out-dated web presence? Or does it reflect advancing technologies and accessibility awareness?

If not, consider this — according to Comscore, over 60 million people in the United States own a smart phone. Obviously, this number will continue to soar and predictions show that the mobile web will rule by as early as 2015.
