Why Patient Testimonial Videos Can Be a Powerful Marketing Tool for Your Practice

For more powerful and effective healthcare marketing, doctors should tell their patients’ success stories. One fantastic method for doing this is through patient testimonial videos.

A common approach many doctors take in trying to promote themselves and their practice is to highlight their training and certifications. However, more than a physician’s credentials or accolades, prospective patients are interested in hearing the stories of people who’ve entrusted their care to a medical practice. When potential patients start researching which provider to turn to for their healthcare needs, a positive patient success story not only speaks to the quality of the health practice but also enables the researcher to associate positive emotions alongside the name of the practice. Potential patients can relate to other patients more than they can a doctor, so they better understand the benefit of seeking improved health when a fellow patient discusses it and walks them through their real-life experience.

One of the most powerful ways to tell patient stories is through testimonial videos. More than ever, videos resonate in a sea of social media and website content, creating a powerful package that helps garner more trust in the practice. Since social platforms such as Facebook auto-play videos directly uploaded to a consumer’s feed, Lenz usually sees an increase in social engagement and web traffic after promoting a patient testimonial video.

Here are a few patient testimonial videos Lenz produced to tell patients’ success stories!

Lenz helps the 2018 Amplify Decatur Music Festival raise $40,000 to fight homelessness

Lenz recently helped the 2018 Amplify Decatur Concert Series, raise $40,000 for its beneficiary, Decatur Cooperative Ministry (DCM), a Decatur-based, nonprofit organization that works to prevent and alleviate poverty and homelessness in Decatur and DeKalb County.

The April 13-15 concert series was presented and marketed by Lenz and produced in partnership with Eddie’s Attic, the Southeast’s premier music listening room.

Since the first Amplify event (formerly known as Poverty Is Real) in 2011, Amplify has raised more than $190,000 for DCM. Each year, Lenz has served as the presenting sponsor and marketing agency for the event. Amplify was founded by Lenz partner and Vice President of Marketing Mike Killeen, who remains an Amplify board member. Christine Mahin, Lenz Marketing’s Accounts Supervisor, who has helped produce the Amplify Decatur Music Festival since 2016, served as festival director for the second consecutive year. Lenz President and CEO Richard J. Lenz serves as the Chair of the Amplify Advisory Board. And the entire Lenz team contributed to the marketing and production of the event.

On April 14, thousands gathered on the Downtown Decatur Square for the Amplify Decatur Musical Festival, the centerpiece of the concert series. The festival featured performances by an all-star Americana line-up, including The Lone Bellow, The Jayhawks, Amanda Shires, and Parker Millsap. Atlanta-based folk duo Dwayne Shivers also performed.

Richard Lenz said the event “checks a lot of boxes” for him. “Lenz has supported many causes, organizations, and events in Decatur since 1992, and what we look for locally is something that adds to the culture of Decatur, has a philanthropic purpose, and allows our company to make an impact using our talent, energy, and resources. My goal of building a successful music festival in Decatur is being achieved, thanks to so many.”

Amplify Decatur also featured a three-night stand at historic Eddie’s Attic, with performances by Jared and Amber, The Weather Station, Sirens of South Austin, and Antigone Rising. On April 15, the concert series culminated with a Steve Earle vs. Townes Van Zandt tribute night featuring eight local and regional acts.

Platinum sponsors included: Leafmore Group, Four Roses Bourbon, Natalie Gregory Sold, The Pinewood, Iris and Bruce Feinberg, WABE 90.1, Decatur Package Store, and Savannah Distributing Company. Gold sponsors included: Georgia Urology, Hall Booth Smith, Oakhurst Realty Partners, Topo Chico, Cox Media Group, Midwood Entertainment, Essentia Water, and ATL PBS.

Lenz is extremely proud to have worked alongside the Amplify My Community team to make this event as successful as it was.
