Your Dental Office’s Marketing Guide for June

by | May 24, 2021 | Dental Office, Fun!, Practice Advice, Practice Marketing | 0 comments

June brings us into the halfway point of the year.  It also is the month that holds the longest day of the year (June 20th).  Let’s take a look at all that we have to celebrate during this amazing month and discuss how it can bring in new patients! 

Dental Holidays: 

National Smiles Month – Pick a dental focused charity (like Fresh Start Surgical Gifts) and donate your time to helping those in need get a beautiful smile. Other ideas on how to celebrate can be found here.

Toothbrush day (June 26) – Throw a “Brush-A-Thon” where you have your patients take a photo or video of them brushing their teeth and have them tag your office in their post.  Make sure to pick a winner and offer a great prize (maybe a new fancy toothbrush?)    

Major Holidays/Celebrations:

Father’s day (June 20) – Honor all the fathers in your practice by offering a raffle!  In your newsletter tell your patients to write a review about how well your practice took care of them, their husbands, fathers or children.  Whoever writes a review will be entered into a raffle to win an amazing father’s day package (golf day, MLB tickets or a spa day at a nearby hotel).  Draw the winner on that Friday before Father’s Day and make sure to tag them on Social Media! Use hashtags #Fathersday #weloveyoudad #smile

Other Marketing Ideas for June: 

  1. Make sure you are doing the basics when it comes to attracting new patients to your practice.  
  2. Keep marketing directly to your local small businesses. 
  3. Write a blog and email out to your patients about National Smiles Month and let them know how you and your team are celebrating.
  4. Write a blog and email it out to your patients about Toothbrush day and tell them what toothbrushes you recommend and why. 
  5. Create a Father’s Day Goodie bag that includes high-end floss and an eclectic toothbrush and offer it at a discounted price so your patients can treat their fathers to good oral health.
