CREATE QUALITY MARKETING IMAGES FOR FACEBOOK

Facebook is the most popular social media site and the most visited website in the world.  Your existing and potential new patients are using Facebook so it's an excellent opportunity to reach them.

Using interesting and attention grabbing images when you post on Facebook is critical.  Using visual content is the key to grabbing attention and getting people to take notice.

However, not everyone has the budget or the skills to invest in software like Adobe Photoshop.

The good news is you don’t have to be a graphic designer to create great images and there are lots of free online tools that you can use.

16.65cm wide X 13.cm high if the image is 72 dpi which is standard for the web
Any larger images will be cropped or scaled down.

FACEBOOK ADS NEW EMOJI'S - REACTIONS

You can now do more than just LIKE something on Facebook.

The lone “thumbs up” icon is now joined by five other EMOJI’s.  EMOJI’s are emotional icons.

So now at the bottom of every post on Facebook, people can select one of six icons to express how they feel, sharing a wider range of reactions to a Facebook post.

Initially Facebook was only going to add a DISLIKE button.  So the options would be “LIKE” and “DISLIKE”, but after researching the idea they found it wasn’t going to add much value and the DISLIKE button would make personal and business bullying easier, something social media services are always working hard to combat.

FACEBOOK LOCAL ADS FOR DENTISTS

In the past 6 months the dental practices I’ve worked with that have used Facebook advertising; have achieved a massive increase in new patients.

Advertising on Facebook is easy.  You just need the right strategy to grab the attention of the people that want and need your service.

When you advertise your dental practice on Facebook, you can choose the exact people that you want to reach.  You can target your ads by location, age and many more identifiers.  This makes your adverts more relevant for the people who see your ads, and brings your practice real results.
