In the world of online content, photos reign supreme, and nowhere is this truer than in social media. Smart phones have made it easier than ever to take and share photos with friends, family and even larger audiences. Photos have several advantages over text: they are more likely to be shared, they are quick to post and they give viewers a richer experience.
Instagram for the Dental Practice or Specialist
While sharing pictures is popular on all social sites, such as Facebook and Twitter, there is one social media platform in particular that was truly made for visual engagement. Instagram’s whole existence is based on photos. In fact, you can’t create a post without one. It is truly one of the quickest and easiest ways for a practice to “get noticed” by potential patients.
