Founder of SmilePalooza! Dr. Darold Opp Talks About Missing Link in Dental Practice Marketing

ABERDEEN, S.D. - Nov. 21, 2014 - PRLog -- Dr. Darold Opp, founder of Advanced Family Dentistry and SmilePalooza! advises dental practices to have Internet presence as well as social media presence.

ABERDEEN, SD – November 21, 2014 – Dr. Darold Opp, DDS, founder of Advanced Family Dentistry and SmilePalooza!, recently posted a blog on his website entitled “The Weakest Link in Marketing Your Dental Practice Could Be One That is Missing Entirely.”  People have most always found their dentist from the referral of a friend or associate. That still works today, but as Dr. Opp writes, “in the digital age which we are totally immersed in, whether you like it or not, many younger people prefer to discover things on their own, on the Internet.” He clarifies what he means by the younger generation. “I’m not talking about kids.  I’m referring to anyone under 40, maybe 50 or 60.”

Opp makes a case for the Internet, however emphasizes, “having a website is just the beginning.  Your Internet presence must be made friendly for the other mobile devices, such as phones and tablets or pads that are turned on virtually 24/7.  That means you must also have a presence in Social Media.”  Social Media he says, “is often the missing link in most dental practices, one that you will want to add to your marketing program immediately.”
