This is a great opportunity for dental offices to reach out to the teachers, nurses, and police officers in their community.

Betty Hayden Consulting Dental Office Appreciation Ideas for May

How can you reach out to them? Here are a few ideas for you:

First, let’s start with any of your patients that are teachers, nurses, or police officers.

Pull a report with any patients that are school teachers, nurses, and police officers and send “We Appreciate You” cards to them. Unexpected and very much welcomed.

Put together some little thank you gifts to give your patients that are teachers/nurses/police officers when they come in for their dental appointment during the month of May.

See my Pinterest Board for a ton of ideas: Appreciation Gift Ideas

Second, reach out to the teachers, nurses, and officers in the community that are not “yet” patients at your office.

Host a Favorite Teacher/Nurse/Police Officer Contest. Invite the community to nominate their favorites. The winner receives FREE teeth whitening and a certificate stating they won for the favorite teacher/nurse/police officer contest.

You could easily ask for donations from local businesses to add to the winning prize.

Deliver treats and/or toothbrush bags to your local hospitals, doctors’ offices, fire station, and/or police stations.

Social Media Post Ideas to Improve Engagement during the month of May:

National Orthodontic Health Month Tips and Ideas For Your Ortho Office

National Orthodontic Health Month Tips and Ideas For Your Ortho Office

Hello Friends,

Today, I am sharing some tips and ideas for ortho offices to celebrate October’s National Orthodontic Health Month.

October’s Theme:  Orthodontic Health Month!  Healthy & Beautiful Smiles!

Tips and Ideas for Orthodontic Offices from Dental Coach Betty Hayden

  •  Brace Friendly Candy – Share on your social media platforms what candy to avoid and what snacks/treats are brace friendly.

 

  • Reviews / Testimonials – Encourage patients to leave a review/testimonial on Google, Facebook, etc.

 

  • Invisalign – 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.

 

  • Before & Afters – all month-long feature before and after ortho photos on your social media pages.

 

  • Q & A Video Sessions– use your social media platforms to post short videos of the doctors and/or team members answering frequently asked questions.

Community Involvement ~

October is 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 orthodontist. Bring them in during the month of October instead.

I know a lot of offices will be focusing on Candy Buy Back Events, so I will share some ideas for those events and some other ideas just in case you’re looking for something a little extra to exceed patient expectations.

Candy Buy Back ~

Options:

  •   Collect candy in the 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.

Gift Ideas for Referring Dentists and their Teams ~

World Smile Day – October 4th  – Put together smile themed gift baskets.

Or do a team smiles photo contest. Office photo with the most FB likes wins.

October is Apple Month – Deliver some apple treats to the offices. Such as:

  • Basket Of Apples w/ Caramel Sauce
  • Apple Cider & Donuts
  • Apple Pie

Team Building Activity  ~ Get your team together to make apple sauce, apple pie filling, caramel sauce, or an apple/cinnamon sugar scrub. Put it in little jars with a ribbon and label with your office information. You can then give away as gifts to your new patients and or referring doctors/specialists. How fun is that?!

There you have it some fun and effective tips and ideas to celebrate October’s Orthodontic Health Month.
