Benefits of Using Custom Graphics on Social Media
Here’s how custom graphics will boost your social media strategy:
Increase Online Engagement
Social media strategist Jeff Bullas found Facebook posts with photos received an average 37% higher engagement than text posts. By posting photos, GIFs, or videos, you create more captivating stories and will drive more engagement.
Visuals Are More Appealing
Text is a great way to get information across, but visual mediums like photos and videos are much faster. With users consuming so much content online every day, make sure the content you post catches their attention.
Boost Brand Awareness
As online graphics bring more attention to your posts, your audience will begin to recognize your brand, colors, and content. Users who see visuals of happy patients, fun braces, and healthy smiles will associate positive experiences and feelings with your brand.
Cost-Effective Advertising
Perhaps the biggest benefit of social media marketing is that it’s free to create and use an account. You can choose to pay for ads, but by simply signing up, you have access to a network of marketing opportunities and are in control of the way you position your practice’s online marketing.
How to Use Graphics to Enhance Your Online Strategy
Our team at WildSmiles loves using social media because it’s a way for us to connect with patients, parents, and providers around the world. To take our social media to the next level, we designed stunning graphics that orthodontists like you can use to elevate your practice’s online presence.
Once you have your eye-catching graphics ready, here are some ways to use them:
- Put Your Patients in the Spotlight—Who better to speak to your outstanding care and results than your own patients? Post before and after pictures to show how far your patients have come, and apply frames or filters to make your posts stand out.
- Market What Makes You Different—When you offer stylish brackets, you stand apart from competitors who only offer traditional braces. Show off what makes you different with GIFs of WildSmiles bracket shapes. GIFs are fun to look at, show your audience what shapes are available, and encourage them to begin treatment.
- Tailor Your Content Accordingly—Social media platforms share the trait of connectivity, but they all differ in design and operation. Be mindful of where you’re posting content and how you’re using your graphics. A photo shot horizontally may look great on Facebook, but may be cropped on Instagram and cut out part of your graphic.
- Show Why You’re the Right Choice—Post photos of your patients finishing their treatment. In doing so, you let your audience and competition know that you make success happen.
