Learn Chiropractic Marketing Inside of Club 365

Club 365One of the biggest struggles I see chiropractors face today is how to market their practices in an Internet-driven society.

As more marketing campaigns move online, social media and inbound marketing have become increasingly important assets for chiropractors to get found by and engage with potential patients.

Think about the way you find information about products and services – are you watching TV ads? Going through your junk mail? Or are you consulting a search engine or a friend?

People have gotten better and better at ignoring marketing messages with DVRs, caller ID, and spam filters. Instead they visit Google and social networks for answers to their questions.

The question for you is, will you be there to answer it?

How Chiropractors Can Get Started in Social Media

Get StartedAt one time, a phone book’s yellow pages were the best place for consumers to find the services they needed, and that meant those pages were also the best place for professionals to reach prospective clients.

But in the modern world, search engines like Google and Bing give customers much more access to the information and solutions they need. Chiropractors who limit their marketing efforts to print media may simply never reach the prospects who could benefit the most from their services.

Chiropractors in particular can benefit from using social media because it can help them reach customers who know they have a problem but don’t know that chiropractic care can help.

How to Use Facebook iFrames

FacebookBack in March, Facebook deprecated FBML for iFrames. What this meant was Page admins would no longer be able to install new FBML apps and developers would no longer be able to create them. Instead, they’d need to embrace iFrames as the new standard.

Around that time I noticed several entrepreneurs releasing new products and services that made the conversion from FBML to iFrames insanely simple. Since I administrate numerous Pages, it was a no brainer to purchase them to help streamline the conversion.

Here’s a list of the tools I use:

But you don’t necessarily need to spend your hard-earned cash on any of the above if you only administrate one Page. Yes, they’ll provide you with the tools to make your Page pop, but if you’re just starting out you can simply install the Static HTML: iframes tabs app by following these 3 Easy Steps:

How to Secure the Username of Your Chiropractic Facebook Page

FacebookOn June 13, 2009 Facebook rolled out Facebook Usernames. This allowed individuals to choose a username for their profile and Facebook Pages.

I, like many others, secured my username the moment it went live. Why? Because the vanity URL is an important aspect of most social media websites. Being able to choose the URL for your social profile (i.e. Facebook.com/PatrickMacNamara) not only makes it easy to share with others, but helps you claim a little piece of social media space as your own.

Not only did I secure the username for my personal profile but also for my Page. This way I can maintain privacy via my personal profile but still easily connect with people I’ve never met.
