Dental Office Marketing and Practice Growth Ideas for January 2023

Hello Friends,

What are you doing this month to exceed your patients’ expectations, attract more new patients, have more fun at work, and build relationships within your community?

You’ll never plow a field by turning it over in your mind. ~ Irish Proverb

Doctors, if you would like to grow and improve your dental practice and have wondered what it might be like to work with me and what coaching is all about, or would like to learn what opportunities for improvement exist in your practice... please feel free to reach out to me to schedule a complimentary, no-obligation coaching call at bhaydenconsulting@gmail.com.

Here are some practice growth & marketing ideas that you can easily implement in your office…

January is National Hot Tea Month. Once again, I am sharing this idea because it is always appreciated by your patients and a little something extra that doesn’t cost a lot. (Remember, you want to exceed expectations, and doing these extra things on top of delivering excellent care and experiences is what gets your patients talking about you to others.)

Gift idea for your Patients: Give away packets of green tea that have a label on them saying “Our Patients are TEA-riffic!”

Service/Treatment Feature: Desensitizing Agents. Many people experience tooth sensitivity while drinking hot beverages. This is a good idea to offer treatments to help reduce or eliminate that sensitivity.

Educational Idea – I’m Not Going to Take It Anymore Day: Jan. 7th – Help your patients to see that they don’t have to take their Crowded Teeth, Yellow Teeth, Bad Breath, Sensitive Teeth, Loose Dentures, Snoring, or Headaches, anymore!  You can help them!

Referring Doctors or Local Business Appreciation Gift Idea

Bubble Wrap Appreciation Day: 30th- Deliver Stress Relief Kits (i.e.: Squares of bubble wrap and chocolates) to local “high stress” businesses/offices. Such as police stations, doctors’ offices, schools, any business that caters to kids (haha), etc.  – most people enjoy some bubble wrap popping. 

Social Media Content Ideas to Boost Engagement During the month of January

National Soup Month

Sugar Awareness Week: 15-21

Cigarettes Are Hazardous To Your Health Day: 11th

National Bagel Day: 15th

Dental Practice Tips and Ideas for January 2020

Dental Practice Tips and Ideas for January 2020

Hello Friends,

Now is a great time to find and create opportunities for growth in the New Year.

“What the new year brings to you will depend a great deal on what you bring to the new year.” ~ Vern McLellan

So, what will you be bringing? Rather than bringing the same headaches and stresses, you may have experienced this year due to not successfully reaching your practice goals… why not, instead, bring a clear vision of what you want to see in the new year. (Makes sense seeing that it is 2020 😉)

Create your action plan for any wanted and needed improvements to your office including setting your production, collection, patient retention, treatment, continuing education, and new patient goals for the new year. Do include your team in this plan, ask them what their ideas are to make 2020 a more productive and happier year for all!  Remember, people are more likely to support that which they help to create.

Don’t let another year slip by without you successfully reaching or exceeding your goals. It’s time to bring it! Bring your vision and action plan to 2020.

To help you bring it I am sharing some dental office leadership, management, and marketing tips and ideas for January…

Betty Hayden Consulting Winter Dental Office Ideas and Marketing

Leadership Tips and Ideas ~

Improve Communication with Team Meetings:  Schedule monthly team meetings – to be clear, I am not talking about boring and unproductive waste of time meetings just for the sake of having a meeting. Not at all, I am talking about meetings that keep the team all on the same page as to your daily goals, enabling them to live your vision for the practice day in and day out while holding each other accountable to the same high-performance standards.

Boost Team Morale Fun Idea: National Cheesy Socks Day: Jan. 21st ~ Give your employees a gift of cheesy/silly socks to wear on the 21st.  Be sure to take a picture to post on Facebook and Instagram

Practice Management Tips and Reminders ~

Hygiene Continuing Care & Incomplete Treatment:

Insurance Renewals: Many of your patients’ dental insurance maximums renew on January 1. Phone your patients with a friendly reminder of their renewed benefits and make a reservation for them to come in for their hygiene visit or incomplete treatment with the doctor. Include reminders on your social media platforms.

Hygiene Patients: Are you pre-appointing hygiene visits? If not, January is a good time to make this a goal for the office. While you have the hygiene patient in the office, schedule their next 3, 4, or 6-month visit. Avoid saying “would you like to schedule your next appointment?” Some will say no. So instead, say this: “Let’s go ahead and schedule your next visit.” Assume they want to schedule their next visit. By the way, your entire team needs to be on board with pre-appointing your patients. It can be done!

If you’re struggling to have a productive and effective hygiene department – I can help you with this.

Office Appearance:

National Clean Off Your Desk Day: Jan. 13th  ~ Clutter represents indecision. Make the decision to get rid of the clutter! That includes any sticky notes attached to computer monitors, coats/sweaters hanging on the backs of chairs, and fast-food drink containers sitting out on the counters. While you’re at it, go ahead and attack the cabinets & closets. Say goodbye to the clutter! Here are a few office cleaning ideas: Are you past due for your office cleaning?

Marketing Tips and Ideas ~

Exceed Patients’ Expectations – Give Away/Gift Idea:

January is National Hot Tea Month. Give away packets of tea that have a label on them saying “Our Patients are TEA-riffic!”

Trust me, even if this sounds silly to you – your patients love these free gifts. It’s an inexpensive and simple way to make their day!

Reminder: Make sure that all your patient give-away/gifts have labels/packaging that include your office name.

Educational Opportunity ~

Sugar Awareness Week: Jan. 20-24 – This week share website and social media platform posts /videos all about sugar and dental health. Excellent educational opportunity.
