00:00 Want the scoop on some of the best dental marketing ideas for 2019. Hi, I'm Alison from GPM coming to you today with some of the top dental marketing trends for 2019. There are quite a few of them, so let's get started.

00:19 Coming up first, in house dental plans. It should come as no surprise that one of the main concerns patients and practices alike are dealing with is dental insurance. Patients are looking for a way to make their care affordable. And practices and doctors like you are looking for ways to get more patients into the practice, and still get compensated for your work. An in house dental plan is a way that you can do both.

00:43 Companies like BoomCloud, and Clear make it really easy to set up your own in office dental plan that helps keep patients active in your practice and committed to treatment plans.

00:55 Second, online scheduling. We can do everything online nowadays, from booking a flight to booking a hotel, or even ordering a pizza whenever we want it. Your dental practice shouldn't be any different. Utilizing online scheduling software such as LocalMed is a great way for patients to schedule an appointment online when it's convenient for them.

01:16 Up next, videos. This is an idea that's been raising in popularity throughout the last couple of years, and truthfully it's not going away any time soon. So take advantage of it. Hire a talented videographer to come into your practice. Film a welcome video. Have patients share their stories of successful treatments. Answer some frequently asked questions about specific treatments. Really there are so many options that you can use with video. Just make sure that when you have it done you feature it on places such as your website, social media, landing pages, YouTube, or you can even use one as a TV commercial.

01:54 Last, website chat. Utilizing a website chat application on your practices' website allows patients to interact with your team before ever picking up the phone. They can ask a question about insurance. They can ask availability, or whether you do specific procedures. This is a great way to quickly build credibility with your practice and a potential patient and get them scheduled quickly.
