Fall Dental Marketing and Practice Growth Ideas for October 2023

Fall Dental Marketing and Practice Growth Ideas for October 2023

Hello Friends,

October is Apple Month – “You can count the seeds in an apple, but you can’t count the apples in a seed.

Marketing your dental practice is like planting seeds. Some seeds sprout right away, and others may take a while. You may have written some seeds off as a loss and when you least expect it, there it sprouts and produces beautiful results. And some may sprout where you don’t even remember planting.

What are your marketing seeds? Everything that you do, everything that the patient (and potential patient) sees, hears & feels. Everything Matters!

The marketing seed tips & ideas you’ll find here are designed to help you exceed expectations for your current patients  and  the potential new patients in your community.  If you don’t want more new patients do these things for your current patients of record so they keep choosing you. Plus, it helps when you’re all having more fun at work!
