Yellow Pages Related Searches

By Michael Dorausch, D.C. Last week when I posted Definitely Not the Yellow Pages I thought for sure I’d find dozens of previous articles I’d written regarding Yellow Pages and Advertising that I’d written over the past ten years.

Practical April Fools Day Pranks

April Fools Day 2009 (April 1) is nearly upon us and we’ve been planning around the office what the April Fools prank this year is going to be.

Our lost money prank from last year worked well, so feel free to use that one in your place of business, if you’ve come up with no ideas.

Definitely Not the Yellow Pages

By Michael Dorausch, D.C. “Dr. Mike – there’s a sales rep on the phone, says they’re with the Yellow Pages.” is what I used to hear from my front desk manager frequently. The calls have decreased ( I no longer accept any calls from anyone claiming to work with any Yellow Pages company) but I

Chiropractor Loving Tweet Style

What is it that people are chattering regarding chiropractic care? Ever wonder what’s going on in the stream of various Internet conversations? I like to take a peak now and then to get a glimpse of what’s being said as people go about their daily activities. If you’re expecting text messaging like: OMG my chiro taught me about TONE. 1895 so ROX! or: SubLuxAtion Removal Time :O off to DC you may be disappointed. The local chiropractor may not be in your Fav 5 (they should be!) but that thing often referred to as a spinal adjustment (not by patients) is certainly a topic of conversation.

Computerized Classified Advertising More Environmentally Sound

Some chiropractors remember the days when the only choices in advertising office equipment for sale was to fill out a form in the back of a chiropractic journal. They’d wait for the next issue to come out (sometimes only quarterly) and hope their items sold. Then the magazines came and filled chiropractic mailboxes with reams of paper mailings, followed by endless faxes promising financial freedom by using latest the gadgets. Now those toxic assets clutter office storage areas and the luxury car purchases have been put on hold.

I like the process of discovering what those words

Twitter Search Brings Local Marathon Online

There’s been much discussion the past few weeks regarding the micro blogging service Twitter as a real time search engine. While the debate continues (I say it’s a human powered search help tool) I’ll keep “searching” the real-time events I’m interested in. For me, Twitter has become the first place I go to find the latest up to date information, and a runners marathon in Pasadena, CA, provides an excellent localized example, of why I love it so much.

Jobs and Practices Push Classified Ad Activity

Sometimes things don’t get used as you thought they would. Something truly interesting about the chiropractic classifieds on Planet Chiropractic has been the number of jobs posted during the past year. While the position of chiropractor or chiropractic associate is a common one, jobs for medical doctors, chiropractic assistants, xray technicians, school faculty, online marketing managers, inhouse local search marketers, massage therapists, and others have been appearing in ads more frequently these past 365ish days. Pretty awesome to think people are getting hired from ads their finding on the site. Not that jobs are the only category, we received a happy email today from an office that sold all their x-ray equipment, which made several parties happy.

I was shown a reminder this past weekend that a great majority of people visiting Planet Chiropractic have likely never heard of the micro blogging service known as Twitter.

Like learning chiropractic principles, understanding Twitter takes time, but in my opinion it’s worth the effort.

Airport Hotels Rock For Seminars

Conferences and seminars are one of the best ways to network, learn from experts, and peddle wares at vendor booths.

At Planet Chiropractic, we receive many questions from prospective students, active doctors of chiropractic, those attending chiropractic school, and people having questions about chiropractic and other forms of health care.
