QUICK TIP on working on a medical practice blog



Before you start your practice blog ask yourself these questions:
• What do I want to accomplish?
• Who is my target audience?
• Will my blog be personal or corporate in tone?
• Will I write the blog alone or with a group or guests?
• How often will I post?
• What kinds of media can I use?
• Once you are clear about why you are starting a blog, you’ll need a title and a tagline. They let visitors know what your blog is about when they reach your page.

Will Facebook kill email? Not any time soon for healthcare practices.



Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg introduced a new messaging platform this week that takes aim at one of the Internet's first applications, e-mail. Declaring e-mail past its prime in the age of texts and instant messages, he said e-mail was just one component of the company’s plans to build a modern, multi-faceted messaging system for its users.

The ways we get our information and communicate with one another is definitely changing. Today’s patient may be away from their computer, but still has the internet at their fingertips. Mobile devices have become staggeringly powerful. Their e-mail Inbox is only a few clicks away on their phone and they expect businesses to communicate through all of the channels they prefer, including text and social media like Facebook.  The desire to interact with your practice from any channel reinforces the importance of integrating social media into your marketing plan. The expectation extends to being able to reach information about your practice whenever the patient wants and FROM whatever they want.
