NEW YORK—The back-to-school season is already in full swing. Some practices even start marketing for this season in July. Online marketing on your website and on social media can help jump-start your campaign to remind parents that your practice is ready to provide care for their children.

Pinterest and Instagram are two social media platforms that are gaining traction in the optical industry because they offer ODs free, easy and fun opportunities to visually communicate with prospective and current patients. Optometry and eyewear have an inherent connection to that which is visual, so photo-sharing and visual bookmarking sites like these are natural choices for practices to reach out digitally to a broader audience. With a little set up and a smartphone, your practice can engage on these sites with minimal effort and increase your marketing reach.

NEW YORK—April 21. That’s the date Google’s mobile-friendliness update will roll out. What does this mean for your practice? It means that Google will start using mobile-friendly compliance as a ranking factor in
smartphone search and that for any OD out there that doesn’t have a mobile friendly website, it is time to act or risk the consequences.

NEW YORK—The hashtag symbol (#), also known as the pound or the
number sign, has achieved new meaning since the social media revolution.
In its more recent incarnation it can be found gracing

Instagram feeds, creating an appearance of a secret code to the uninitiated and a sense of order to social media enthusiasts.

NEW YORK—
EyeCarePro.net, which works with ECPs on the development of their digital and social media presence, has examined the recent development of promoted or sponsored Facebook posts:
With all the effort we put into our Facebook page posts, it is natural to wonder how many of our fans actually see them. Wouldn't it be nice if we could have some guarantee that most of our fans would see what we are trying to share with them?
Well now we can have that assurance, at a price of course. In May, Facebook released Promoted Posts. For as little as $5.00, businesses can promote a post, which guarantees that the post will reach a much larger percentage of the page's fans and their friends as well.
