A Very Thankful Thanksgiving

Thanksgiving week is upon us and for many of us that means the start to the holiday hustle and bustle. Before you sit down to enjoy that much anticipated feast with your friends and family, use social media to show your patients (who keep you in practice) just how thankful you are for them. A simple post telling your patients how much you appreciate them is quick and easy, and will keep your practice's marketing plan on track during the busy holiday season.

If you have a little more time and want to make a bigger impression…try asking your patients to get involved by having them share what they are thankful for this year. Encourage them to share photos and post comments. Share your patients most profound before and after pictures (with their permission of course). Highlight any significant life achievements throughout this year as well as any community or charity events you were a part of, and be sure to add pictures.

Offer your patient's dental tips to keep their smiles healthy this Thanksgiving. Try offering a few tips on foods to avoid (25 Foods and Drinks Dentists Won't Touch) or a new healthy recipe to try. A popular holiday favorite is green bean casserole. Check out this healthy alternative recipe that eliminates much of the fat and sodium that the traditional recipe contains.

Thanksgiving is all about being "thankful" and people are compelled to give back this time of year. Everyone will benefit by offering your patients the opportunity to help donate to a good cause or local charity. Think of causes that your practice and your patients might have a connection to and integrate this into your holiday marketing.

However you decide to show your thankfulness this season…be sure to have a happy and healthy Thanksgiving.
