Other Marketing Ideas for March: 

  1. The week leading up to St. Patricks Day give out “golden” tokens, that your patients can hand out to their friends.  If their friend brings it back for a first appointment, both the referred and the referee get something awesome (free whitening kit, gift certificate, goodie bag, etc.).
  2. You can also go to the local businesses near your office and ask the HR department to hand them out.  
  3. For Dental Assistant Appreciation week- send out an email to all your patients announcing that it is Dental Assistant Appreciation week.  In the email include pictures of your Dental Assistants and something special about them.  Finish off the email saying “Has any of our assistants made your visit to our office special?  If so, we would love to hear about it!  For the month of March, please leave us a Yelp, Google or Facebook review about how our dental assistant made your day special.  On March 31st, we will have a drawing of all those that left reviews and the winner will get a “Name prize.”
