10 Video Marketers to Learn from to Grow Your Medical & Wellness Clinic's Followers on TikTok, YouTube & Facebook

While it doesn’t occur to everyone, there are several ways that your medical or wellness facility could benefit from social media and video marketing. Today’s audiences want to be engaged and they love video content—why wouldn’t you want to see just what it could do for your business? Sure, medical and wellness businesses are “professional”. That’s all the more reason to get personal and use video marketing to connect with your audience!

The great thing about video marketing is that you can use it in so many ways. Few other marketing tools are so versatile. Even if you’re not sure just what you can do, there are plenty of people who are already doing it that you can learn from. We’ll provide you with a list of 10 of the best below, but first we want to discuss a little more about video as not just part of your marketing strategy, but as a strategy all its own. 

Video content is being consumed at a massive rate. As many as 1 billion hours of content stream on YouTube every single day. And that’s just one platform and the numbers are on the rise. In fact, by 2022, it’s anticipated that 82% of all traffic will be coming from video of some kind (live, streaming, or downloaded). 

If you’re not already using video, it’s time to get started. There are so many different ways that you can incorporate this medium, and you shouldn’t limit yourself. In fact, as you’ll see in the list below, you’ll find plenty of people who are doing it creatively and generating a huge following on social media as a result. 

First, let’s talk about the benefits of using video as a marketing tool, and then we’ll get to the list. 

The benefits of video marketing for your medical or wellness clinic

For those who are still balking at the idea or who just want a few more perks to consider, we’ve compiled some to assist you in making the decision to implement video as soon as possible. In addition to being essential to keep up with the competition, it can offer benefits like:

• Reputation and Expertise: You’ll be able to show your audience(s) that you have the reputation and experience that they need and deserve, no matter what area you specialize in. By offering value-added video content, your brand reputation will go up significantly. 

• Increased Visibility: The more types of content you create, the more places people will be able to find your clinic online. That means you’ll be more likely to attract patients and keep your clinic in the forefront of people’s minds when you embrace multiple formats, including video. 

• Perspective and Insight: Using video allows you to record certain aspects of your business and day-to-day operations (with patient/client privacy in full consideration, of course) and show people just what you do. Not only can it quell fears, but it can educate people and help them make more informed health and wellness decisions. 

• Increased Leads: When you’re drawing in a bigger audience and a more diverse audience, you are going to generate even more leads from these different sources. Untapped audiences are your best resource for growth and video is a great way to find them. 

We could spend days listing the benefits of video marketing, but it all boils down to the same thing: you can gain so much and there’s really nothing to lose when you do it correctly. Fortunately, there are tons of different people and resources out there to help you. Even more fortunately, we’ll kick it off for you with our own top 10 picks to get you started. 

When choosing who to follow, consider things like the types of videos they make, what niche they’re in (if they have one), the engagement that they get, what kind of reputation they’ve built, and so forth. Essentially, you’ll want to model your efforts after the brands or clinics that are most like what you want yours to be. 

If you keep these things in mind, the rest of video marketing should fall into place as you go. Now, let’s talk about who you should be watching, and why.
