I can’t believe we are already at the end of October and will soon be approaching the Holidays!

I know one thing on my mind (besides Christmas shopping!) is that my benefits will be expiring and to make sure that I am using everything I can before it’s too late.

Sharper™ 15-2984 Benefit Reminder Postcard

The yearly maximum usually renews every year (on January 1st if the plan is on a calendar year).  If your patients or clients  have unused benefits, these will not rollover.

Possible fee increase is another reason to remind your patients or clients to use their benefits before the end of the year.  Some practices or businesses raise their rates at the beginning of the year due to increased operation, material and equipment costs.

By delaying certain treatments, patients or clients are risking more extensive and expensive treatments down the road.  What may be a simple cavity now, could turn into a root canal or something much worse later!

Please take a moment to look at our selection of Benefit Reminder Postcards and messages today.  You can view all of our designs on our website or in our catalogs.

Don’t hesitate to call 1-800-561-6677 and ask one of our very knowledgeable and friendly Product Consultants for more details!!

A fantastic way to connect with your new or current patients or clients is by using Welcome and Thank You cards.  They definitely make a memorable impression!

Once you take a look at the many beautiful designs, I can ensure you will see an instant success from these products!

Welcome cards show new patients or referral patients that they are in fact an important part of your practice or business!

Thank You cards are a fantastic way to show appreciation to your current patients or clients and that your practice or business continues to grow by thoughtful referrals and recommendations!

Another great thing about these products is that most of the designs come in matching welcome and thank you layouts help you coordinate your image for greater marketing impact and exposure!

Reactivation Postcards are pretty self-explanatory, but these cards can also be a great way to feature new products and service offerings!  For example, you could have a message that reads:

“Dear:_______________________,

After reviewing your file, we noticed that you may be due for a check-up appointment.  In the best interest of your health it is important that we see you as soon as possible. Your last appointment with us was over ____ year(s) ago.  Please call at your earliest convenience to book your appointment to ensure your health is at its best!

Also, we would love to see you and show you some of the new services our company now offers!

Please join us on June 6, 2011 for an Open-House including beverages and treats!  There will be a guided tour where you can see all the wonderful products and services first hand and ask us any questions you may have.

We hope to see you there!”

At Sharper™, we are able to personalize the cards in any way you like.   Please click here to see some other ideas for reactivation messages, and remember that you can change the wording to suit your needs.  If you have a layout or an idea, please feel free to call Customer Service Center at 1-800-561-6677 to speak to one of our friendly Product Consultants, so they can help make it become a reality!  Your patients will love the personal touch you have put into the cards.  Your effort  will definitely show!

With busy schedules, it is easy for people to forget an appointment – even the most organized ones!  This happens to most of us at one time or another, but as the health care practitioner it can be frustrating to say the least!  With any of our Missed Appointment Postcards, you are able to completely personalize the message on the back (to let your patients know how important it is that they keep their appointments) or use one of reminder messages.  Both of these services are available at no extra charge.  In addition, if one of our postcards has a design that you like, but not necessarily the wording/copy, you are able to change the wording for a one time fee of $60!  Once the card design and new copy is on file, you may use it again at no additional charge.

Please call 1-800-561-6677 and ask for a Custom Order Consultant and he/she will be happy to assist you with your order.

To view all of our beautiful Missed Appointment Postcard designs, please visit www.e-sharper.com or request one of our catalogs today.  We also provide samples of most Sharper™ products, so please don’t hesitate to let our Product Consultants know when calling our Customer Service Centre.

Here is a quick preview of some of our designs:

We have a brand new line of Pediatric giveaways called Sqwiggly™!

Our new Sqwiggly™ toothbrushes are a wonderful item to give to children!  Each order comes with assorted colors and a brushing insert with each brush.  They are fun, colorful and a fantastic addition to your patients tote bag!   Just imagine the enthusiastic sounds coming from the children when they see their new toothbrush.  I know I’d be excited! ;o)

For veterinary and pet care professionals, our Sqwiggly™ toothbrushes come with no brushing insert, so that it can be easily given to pet owners to maintain good oral health for their pets.

A very handy and fantastic marketing tool!!

In our catalogs, the business cards will have the matching magnet item number underneath the picture if there is one available.

Referrals!

We have recently introduced a few new designs to our very popular referral postcards!

January is a great time to send these cards to remind your patients of how important their referrals are!

Most people don’t realize the importance, but with our free personalization (on the back of the postcards) you can tell them exactly how your offices’ referrals work and its benefits.

Another option is to use one of our existing designs and change the wording on the front to mention referrals.  This service is an additional $60.00.  Please call our Call Center at 1-800-561-6677 and give the Product Consultant the item number and we will make sure it is a design we can alter.

Personally I have been looking forward to this New Year for a very long time.  2011 has great potential for bringing much happiness and joy!  Not necessarily more than other years,  but it’s always nice to have something positive to look forward to.

Why not the entire year!

If you didn’t get around to sending Holiday cards to your patients/clients, New Year’s cards are a different and interesting spin on the Holidays.

When I receive a “Happy New Year” folding card in the mail, it automatically puts a smile on my face.  A little reminder that it will be a great year to come!

How about this…

Is your office having an Open House for the New Year?

Are you offering a limited time promotion that you would like your patients/clients to know about?

Remember also that you are able to customize the back of any of our postcards or the inside of any of our folding cards at no charge, to express exactly how you are feeling about 2011.

With Fall upon us and Winter just around the corner, it is much easier to forget about Birthdays happening at this time of year, especially with the many Holidays we are getting ready for!

It’s also really easy to forget about the importance of a simple Birthday Card.

I am celebrating my 30th Birthday in November and I know that my Dentist, Massage Therapist and Financial Planner will be sending me a card in the mail.  It’s a small gesture, but it’s especially nice when you don’t have a lot of family where you live.

If you don’t currently send out Birthday Cards, but might be something that you have thought about please take a look at our huge variety of designs on our website or call one of our very friendly Product Consultants, and we’ll be happy to send you a catalog!

We have unisex designs or if you’d like to be more individual, we have designs that are more gender specific.

T’is the Fall Season!  What a beautiful time of year, and with this comes a great opportunity to use some of our beautiful seasonal postcards, appointment cards and Thank you cards.

Our postcards come in the standard 5 3/4″ x 4″ size or our new large 8 1/2″ x 5 1/2″.  Just imagine, your recall cards will definitely stand out in the mail being a larger size along with a beautiful seasonal design.  We also carry many of our designs in the 4-up laser postcards.

I have so many favorite seasonal designs, it’s hard to choose one to show you, but the nice thing is that you can mix and match designs in lots of 50, so you can order many different styles! And they all can be personalized to your liking.

We have a few designs in our standard or folding appointment cards also.  Please remember that the back or the inside of our appointment cards can be customized however you would like.  We can print a calendar, your office hours, an appointment layout, or anything else you can imagine!  Here are some of my favorites:

The last item I would like to mention is our beautiful seasonal Thank you cards!  We have four beautiful designs that will surely put a smile on your client’s face and help you generate more referrals to your business or practice at the same time:

In case you have ever wondered about the power of a “Thank you”, there are so many advantages and positive consequences of thinking about your patients personally enough to mail them a Thank you card.

Not only are the designs beautiful but you can personalize the inside of the Thank you cards with anything you like!  The messages (custom or standard) are included in the price so you can say anything that is in your heart, to your patients or clients.

Dental Thank you cards are an excellent tool to thank your patients for their referrals or just to thank them for their patronage.

Veterinary or other Pet Care offices and businesses can use Pet Care Thank you cards as a way to show how appreciative that their patients have chosen them as their primary Pet Care provider!  People may not realize how important they really are to your practice!

Eye Care, Hearing Care and all other Contemporary Health Thank you cards can be used in exactly the same way.

For information and other ideas for your Thank you cards please call our Call Centre at 1-800-561-6677 or reference our easy to use website – www.e-sharper.com.

For those of you that are on our mailing list, you probably already know that we generally come out with a new Dental catalog every month or so.

Contemporary Health catalogers are usually every 2 months.  Pet Care and Vision & Hearing are usually every 3 months or so.

With that in mind, our catalogs that come out in August or early fall always have a lot to look at!  It may seem very early for some but all of our holiday products are in those catalogs and they are incredible this year!  Also, we have a few new recall/reminder cards!
