Hello,
October is the start of your final quarter for the year. It’s your opportunity to make it your best fourth quarter ever. To help you plan for that, today I’m sharing some tips and ideas with you. Ideas that when implemented will keep things fresh and fun in your office. More importantly, they will exceed your patients and potential patients’ expectations which will allow you to focus on doing what you do best, helping your patients achieve healthy and beautiful smiles. Why? Because exceeding your patients’ expectations will help keep them loyal to your office.
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.
