Dental Marketing Meets the Internet Video Revolution: New Free Video Series From IDA Shows Dentists How To Thrive

Dental Marketing Video Tips

Done properly, videos give prospective patients visiting your web marketing portal a sense of your personality and credibility. It helps you gain their trust, and the medium extends a sense of authority and ‘celebrity’ to the doctor.

(PRWEB) May 15, 2012

Internet video is one of the most powerful new dental marketing technologies, but many dentists are unsure where to start. Dental video marketing expert Jim Du Molin addresses this in his new series on “The Dental Video Revolution.”

This educational video series from the Internet Dental Alliance (IDA) offers insights on how dentists and dental practices can use web video as part of their dental marketing. Jim Du Molin, founder of IDA and a former dental consultant, shares his extensive experiences with using video technologies.

“It doesn’t take a dental marketing genius to see that online videos are the next big thing,” says Du Molin. “Video clips are rapidly becoming part of the successful dentist’s marketing toolbox. They personalize your dental website and increase the conversion rate of visitors to patients in your chair.”

Released today, Du Molin’s latest video is available online at http://www.InternetDentalAlliance.com now. In this lesson, he offers advice for easily creating professional-looking videos. He covers important topics such as camera placement, lighting, and what to wear.

“We are all part of the video generation,” he explains. “We’ve grown up with an average of 2.3 televisions in our homes. Our culture idolizes the people we see on video. Done properly, videos give prospective patients visiting your web marketing portal a sense of your personality and credibility. It helps you gain their trust, and the medium extends a sense of authority and ‘celebrity’ to the doctor.”

Dentist websites aren’t the only place where video content can provide a competitive edge. Whether using YouTube, Google, Yahoo or Bing, consumers are searching for online videos more than ever before. Internet video is increasingly important for even the average dental practice’s marketing plan, helping to support any dentist’s ultimate marketing goal: converting Internet visitors to new patients in the chair.

“The cost of producing a web video is negligible relative to your return-on-investment,” says Du Molin. “With camcorder and website, it’s virtually free! One additional new cosmetic, dental implant, braces or sedation patient is worth is easily worth $3,000 to $10,000 or more in net contribution to your bottom line.”

Du Molin provides step-by-step guidelines for doctor web marketing videos. He describes optimum camera placement, how a computer screen can be used as a teleprompter, why three-point lighting is the preferred technique, what to have in the background, and how the dentist should dress.

“Remember, 15 to 30 second commercials are what your audience is used to,” he explains. “They have a very short attention span, plus they don’t have your passion for dentistry. Further, not everyone has lightning fast Internet connections; if they have a slow connection, they will be long gone before your video ever loads and plays. You want to keep your message short, no longer than 25 seconds or so.”

Du Molin offers a final word of advice. “The number one thing is to relax and be natural. Your web visitors are not expecting a professional actor. They are looking for a warm, caring doctor who is natural, relaxed and confident.”

The next video in this Video Revolution series will walk dentists through an easy fill in the blank script building process, providing all the tools for a quality video that will put more new high-value patients in the dental chair.

Askin talks about internet marketing to Rotary

Posted on May 15, 2012 by admin

Rotary Club of Crowley President Mike Goss, left, and program organizer Debbie Spallino, right, welcomed Lyn Askin, center, to the club’s Tuesday meeting to speak about expanding businesses via the internet and internet marketing.

slideshow

CROWLEY – Things like internet marketing, search engine optimization and online local business directories may not be the a major thought in a small business owner’s mind, but according to Lyn Askin, it should.

“The internet evens the playing field for small business owners,” he said. “No one can tell how big or little your business truly is based on a website, and it is what can help you compete with the Amazon’s of the world.”

Askin was the feature program at Tuesday’s meeting of the Rotary Club of Crowley.

Askin began his program with an alarming statistic–62.8 percent of all new businesses fail within six years, meaning that all new businesses sit at a 37.2 percent success rate. A rate that rivals or is worse than many gambling odds.

But, according to Askin, in today’s digital realm, there are ways to help better a businesses odds, which is where internet marketing comes into play.

Internet marketing is helping showcase the evolution of both marketing and products. It, compared to traditional marketing strategies, features a better return on investment, is highly targeted and is measurable.

It’s also a necessity to survive as a business.

Another key statistic used by Askin to showcase his point is the fact that 83 percent of households are use the Internet to find local products and services, making things like the Yellow Pages all but obsolete.

People use websites, particularly Google, to search for things like pest control businesses or plumbers. When they do, they usually come across a free tool that Askin urges business owners to take advantage of–local business centers. The three major search engines, Google, Yahoo and Bing, offer the service for free and it allows business owners with or without a website to get their information online.

“I urge you, though, if it asks for five pictures, submit five pictures,” said Askin. “If there’s a description box, fill it in. We’ve found in our research that the more complete the listing, the higher the ranking.”

And Askin would know about Google rankings as hundreds if not thousands of his or his clients’ websites rank first when typing in keywords.

Search engine optimization (SEO) was also a big topic for the program. According to Askin, there are two types of SEOs, on-page and off-page.

On-page factors are probably the most straight forward and easy to understand, words on the page, the page’s title, etc. The most important of which is the “title tag,” or your first advertisement on a search engine’s result list. Instead of seeing things like “Home Page” or “Welcome” on the top of a screen or as clickable links, Askin says a business needs to put information pertaining to the company. For example, Askin’s inkcarts.com’s title tag is “MICR Toner | Laser Toner Cartridges | Printer Ink Cartridges.”

But off-page factors are also important. Off-page factors are links to your website from other websites like in articles or social media.

Creating articles and distributing them to Google-trusted websites like Blogger, Squidoo, etc. also helps Google build trust in your company/website.

“Google inherently doesn’t trust us,” said Askin. “So having reputable websites link to you, builds Google’s trust and gets you off-page factors.”

But Askin warns linking your website with a simple “click here” isn’t the way to go either, you should, instead, use keywords pertaining to your company/website.

Earlier in the meeting Rev. James Proctor made a special presentation of several banners from clubs and districts across the globe. The banners were exchanged at the Rotary Club International’s Convention held earlier this month in Thailand.

KnowledgeVision 2.0 Raises the Online Presentation Analytics Bar

Posted on May 15, 2012 by admin

At Streaming Media East in New York, KnowledgeVision introduces advanced analytics and viewer tracking features to its suite of video-enhanced online presentation tools. KnowledgeVision‘s new functionality serves both content marketing and e-learning needs.

New York, NY (PRWEB) May 15, 2012

KnowledgeVision Systems has introduced advanced viewer tracking and analytics capabilities to its market-leading system of video online presentation tools. KnowledgeVision 2.0 includes: an updated version of KVStudio, its powerful online presentation creation tool; KVCentral, a new browser-based console for publishing and tracking online presentations in content marketing and e-learning applications; and PresentationCloud ™, an online space for sharing and tracking presentations.

The new KnowledgeVision tools debuted today at the Streaming Media East conference in New York City, where they were demonstrated in public for the first time. KVCentral and its new tracking tools will be available to clients who purchase or upgrade to KnowledgeVision’s Corporate Edition.

KnowledgeVision is an enterprise-quality system for creating, sharing, and tracking video- and audio-enhanced online presentations for desktop and mobile tablet viewing. The typical KnowledgeVision presentation contains: a high-quality video stream; synchronized presentation slides, images and live web pages; just-in-time footnotes and reference links; virtual handouts and downloadable files; interactive navigation chapters; searchable transcripts; and other optional widgets, such as social media tools.

“Since its inception, KnowledgeVision has continually broken new ground in the number of ways viewers can interact with online presentations,” observed KnowledgeVision CEO Michael Kolowich. “Now with KnowledgeVision 2.0, those interactions can be tracked and turned into very specific business intelligence for demand generation, lead nurturing, e-learning, and other critical communications applications.”

KnowledgeVision 2.0 offers several significant advances over earlier versions of the KnowledgeVision system:

— KVStudio 4.5 — KnowledgeVision’s advanced online presentation tool can now create presentations so that viewership may be tracked at the individual viewer level, as well across groups of viewers. Multimedia sources have now been expanded to include videos on Brightcove, Ooyala, Kaltura, and Amazon CloudFront.

— KVCentral — A brand-new, browser-based console, available to KnowledgeVision Corporate subscribers, will allow authorized users to log in from any device to publish, share, and monitor presentations built with KVStudio. Among other capabilities, KVCentral will allow users to create a downloadable spreadsheet that details each viewing session and how the viewer interacted with the material — critical to evaluating how engaged each viewer is with the presentation material.

— KVRegistration — An optional combination product/service offering from KnowledgeVision, providing a way to control access to presentation material and allow the viewer to register before viewing one or more presentations. This registration data may be used for tracking in KVCentral.

— PresentationCloud ™ — A personal internet-based publishing space for KnowledgeVision users to share and track online presentations, which may be publicly available or kept confidential, private, and secure.

To see an example of a trackable KnowledgeVision presentation published to the PresentationCloud employing KVRegistration, see the Marketing Analytics Summit from the Massachusetts Technology Leadership Council on KnowledgeVision.

“KnowledgeVision 2.0’s new capabilities take the role of the online presentation to an entirely new level in both content marketing and e-learning,” said Kolowich. “By marrying deeply engaging content with detailed data, KnowledgeVision fits right in with the data-driven world of both marketing automation and learning management systems.”

Online Marketing Specialist David Twigg Says That Split Testing Is Now A Nobrainer For Online Marketing Campaigns

Posted on May 15, 2012 by admin

Online Marketing specialist David Twigg says that split testing technology has moved forward by leaps and bounds in the last 12 months allowing analytical feedback that is too valuable to ignore.

Brisbane, QLD (PRWEB) May 15, 2012

PPC advertising through Google, Bing and Facebook continues to steamroller more traditional methods of lead generation for companies as reported by Covario last month. In their Global paid search spend analysis report covering the first quarter of 2012,PPC spend in the USA had grown 15% year on year and an amazing 88% year on year in the Asia Pacific region.

Whilst many marketing professionals are still adjusting to this relatively new world of Pay per click advertising, where the advertiser only pays a generally modest fee each time their ad is clicked but pay nothing if the ad is not clicked,the more advanced PPC management specialists have forged ahead in taking the scientific analysis to ever higher levels.

Split testing is one of the areas that is seeing major advances in 2012 due to technology breakthroughs. David Twigg from OMC, Online Marketing Specialists says, “PPC ad copy and Landing page split testing have been around for a while but as technology gets more sophisticated the ability to gather higher quality actionable data increases allowing us to make increasingly more informed decisions as to what works and what doesn’t.” Google themselves offer a product called Website Optimizer which runs what Google call “experiments” to test variable factors on a landing page to gather evidence to see which option converts the best.

Also buried within the myriad of settings in the Google adwords interface is the ability to run split tests of ad copy by creating 2 or more versions and setting it up so that each version of the ad gets an equal amount of traffic, once impression numbers are high enough a judgment can be made as to which test won, e.g. which version got the most click throughs. One of the great internet resources for Split testing is Anne Holland’s WhichTestWon.com, Anne lists 43 different multivariate AB split testing software packages. WhichTestWon.com also lists a range of other online marketing platforms where split testing should be considered which include option forms, newsletters, offer broadcasts, autoresponders, triggered campaigns and mobile tests.

As with all marketing, budgetary factors have to be considered, David Twigg says, “Making your marketing accountable is the single biggest criteria that businesses need to focus on. The 2 biggest mistakes made in Online marketing are letting artists design your website and letting scientists manage your split testing. Websites and split testing are a means to an end, the end being sale or lead generation so finding the sweet spot of 20% resource investment for 80% improvement should be the ultimate goal.”
