Here are some fun ideas for October –

Many offices have made the decision to be part of October’s Candy Buy Back Program; this is a great way to exceed your current patients expectations, attract new patients and build relationships within the community. Here are a few candy buy back ideas for you:

Candy Buy Back –

Options:

  •   Collect candy in office. Open to the Public

Or you can do this,

  • Team up w/local school(s) and set up collection bins in each classroom where the kids can bring in their candy and the classroom with the most candy wins a gift card or get a local pizzeria to donate pizza for a classroom pizza party for the winning classroom.

More tips and ideas for the month of October:

Community Involvement Opportunity  –

National Field Trip Month – Don’t wait for Children’s Dental Health Month in February to invite local schools to bring in their students for a Field Trip to the dentist. Bring them in during the month of October instead.
