You Know Introduces "Ask The Experts"
Now You Know is proud to announce a new feature that brings the experts in chiropractic right to your patients answering some of their most common questions.
Using the newest Flash movie technology, doctor's with an NYK website can have experts speak to their website viewers. Some of the most recognizable chiropractic experts including Dr. Jeannie Ohm, Dr. Jim Sigafoose, Dr. Eric Plasker, Dr. Claudia Anrig, Dr. Peter Gratale, and a continually growing list have filmed short videos answering some of the more common questions patients, and prospective patients have asked.
With an NYK website your patients have the ability to hear about subluxation from Dr. Jim Sigafoose. They also have the ability to learn about the importance of chiropractic for children and infants from Dr. Dick Plummer, and Dr. Jeanne Ohm. Think about how excited your patients will get when hearing how chiropractic can help in athletic performance from Dr. Pete Gratale. These are just some of the experts that have already contributed to the NYK Ask The Experts section and appear in this new feature.
Never before has the chiropractic profession had the opportunity to showcase the experts in our profession and get their message to the general public. To see how this groundbreaking new technology and educational feature can work to help you educate your practice members and your community, please go to our website at www.nowyouknow.net.
Now
You Know New Website Debuts
One thing we know in chiropractic, change is a part of life. That is also true of Now You Know. In our case the change is that we have just unveiled our new website.
As you will see from the design it is much more modern looking and easier to navigate. The credit goes to one of our talented staff, Zach Biles. Zach is our main webmaster and designer. We are glad to have Zach, and so are the NYK doctors who have had dealings with him while updating their sites.
I am particularly glad as I will let you in on a little secret. Prior to Zach, I was the one personally handling the updating of the nowyouknow.net website. I had been in control since we started NYK over 7 years ago. Obviously I am not a designer and I have to teach myself how to do web publishing. (I know, some of you are saying you could tell.) But the bottom line is, with Zach and the other talented members of our team, the subscribers to our Now You know services can be sure that they are in the hands of talented and resourceful professionals. Please go ahead and spend a few minutes reviewing our new site. Over the coming weeks you will notice that all pages on our site will get a new look.
Your
Video on Your Website
Our new feature, "Ask the Experts" is not the only benefit we have added to our doctor's websites using the new Flash Movie technology. If we can add videos of experts to our doctor's sites, why not add your video to your site?
Why not indeed! So if it is possible, we at NYK will always take it to the edge. So now you can create a short video of yourself, and have it placed on your site as a greeting to viewers. To see an example of how this works please visit these sites to see what these doctors have done.
Shortly we will be adding guidelines and instructions for our subscribers to send videos to be added to their sites. These instructions will appear in the "Support" section of the www.nowyouknow.net website.
In the mean time, we suggest that Now You Know subscribers get that digital camera out, set it to the movie setting, and start creating a greeting from you to all those who will visit your NYK website!
