Your Brand is in the Air with Valentine’s Day
Can you feel it? Reservations for two have been made at every restaurant in the big city, heart-shaped pizzas are being ordered for one, network cable has ramped up on their frequency of playing When Harry Met Sally and your favorite cartoon characters appear on cut out-cards saying “Be Mine.” It’s Valentine’s Day. This day is more than just a reason to see the inside of a Hallmark Store. You can use the holiday to your brand’s advantage in a few fun and creative ways.
The BRACElor/BRACElorette
Buy a dozen roses and offer them to patients that come to sit in the chair. Will they be straightening their teeth for the right reasons?
Created with Care
You can make a custom card for your patients that come in for the day. Perhaps take a craft break this week to create some fun Valentine’s Day cards that you can give to your patients who have appointments on the 14th.
Too Sweet Me
This might be a good opportunity to have a candy bowl out on the front desk. We understand dental health is important, but a sweet treat for Valentine’s Day sometimes can be just what the doctor ordered!
Contest Conquest
Everybody loves a contest! You could ask patients to submit their most romantic story, a Valentine card that they made themselves, or a selfie with their sweetheart, and give a prize to a winner of your choice. This is something you can promote in office and on your Social Media channels.
Any way you choose to celebrate, Valentine’s Day is a great way to show a little love to your patients, staff, and friends. With these strategies, you can believe that Cupid’s arrow will be pointing at your office telling patients to come on in!
