Fall Dental Marketing Ideas for October

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: 

Breast Cancer Awareness Month – See Dental Office Ideas for Breast Cancer Awareness Month

Service/Product Opportunity –

National Orthodontic Health Month – Use this as an opportunity to promote Invisalign. This time of year, people are thinking about gift ideas and want to get their smile camera-ready for their end of year parties.

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.

National Friends of Libraries Week: 21st – 27th  –  – See Dental Marketing Ideas for your Local Library

Educational Opportunity –

National Face Your Fears Day: 10th  – Opportunity to share what you do to help make dental visits more comfortable for the fearful patient.
