Aug

Video is a powerful way to market your practice, especially when that video is live and shared via social media.

Here are 12 ideas that were published in our social media handbook for how to use live-streaming to reach out to existing patients, and draw new ones in.

For all these ideas, use a good quality camera, or a high quality smartphone like an iPhone or Android. Either have a staff member shoot the video or use a tripod. For assistance on how to execute these ideas, feel free to reach out to Brittni Dumas, Marketing Specialist, at Brittni@tso.com.

    of the way and have an outline of some points you want to say.

  • Filming with your back towards the window.
