Financial greeting cards are an effective tool whether it be to attract new clients, enhance your existing business relationships or to thank your clients for being committed to you and your company.

As we currently bring ourselves and the economy out of the recession, it is an important time to think about finances. It is also a great time to thank your clients for being loyal to your business.

A great way of letting them know how thankful you are and how much you appreciate their business is by sending out financial greeting cards. Sharper™ carries many designs of financial greeting cards sure to suit any specific event you want to let your clients know about. Whether you want to thank them, wish them a Happy Birthday or just invite them back to review their portfolio, we have plenty of designs available.

They are all pretty cute, but the puppies in pictures B are clean, well groomed and happy.

Think about yourself for one moment.

Think about how you feel after you have just stepped out of the shower, have just brushed your teeth, cleaned your ears, wiped your face and have done your hair the nicest it can be.

You feel great.
You feel confident.
You feel relaxed and you feel beautiful, don’t you?

Animals deserve that same feeling.

They deserve to feel great and confident and relaxed and beautiful. Unfortunately, animals cannot do this task on their own. They cannot pick up the phone and call the pet groomer themselves.

That is why with Sharper™’s grooming appointment cards you can send reminders to your client’s owners to remind them that their pets need some TLC.

Here are a few grooming appointment cards sure to fit what you are looking for to send to your clients. As a pet owner myself I can relate to the other pet owners who think of their dogs/cats/birds etc. as family. By including grooming appointment cards to your pet grooming marketing strategy, pet owners will be reminded that their furry family member is in need of some attention.

Congratulations to the Chiropractic Graduating Class of 2010!

Summer is approaching fast, which means kids will soon be out of school, enjoying the sun, drinking Slurpee’s and eating candy.

Why not welcome them back to the dentist when it is time for them to head back to school?

According to a Fox News report, ‘it is a growing movement for states to require that a child receive a dental examination before entering school’. In 2007, New York was the latest state to require parents or guardians to present evidence to a public school’s medical staff that his or her child has had a recent dental exam.

What does this mean for Dentists?

This means a large amount of appointments will be booked before the next school year starts in August or September. Kids LOVE getting their new school supplies and their new school clothes and one of the things parents love to do is send their kids to the dentist for an exam for a fresh start to the school year.

Send out some of Sharper™’s dental appointment cards to remind parents and children that they should come in. We have a large variety of dental appointment cards. Check out our website for the entire selection.

As Adam Sandler said in the movie Billy Madison;

‘Back to school, back to school. To prove to Dad that I’m not a fool. I got my lunch packed up, my boots tied tight, I hope I don’t get in a fight. Ohhh, back to school. Back to school, back to school. Well, here goes nothing.’

Parents are hoping that their kids don’t get in fights either, otherwise they will be sending their kids to the dentist for more than a check-up. But don’t worry, Sharper™ has orthodontic cards and cards for cosmetic dentistry too.

Massage Therapy is one of those things that everyone knows about and talks about and there is always at lease one person saying ‘I could really use a massage right now’ but then often don’t call right away or regularly to book themselves an appointment.

Perhaps they have not received any massage therapy postcards reminding them that massage therapy is beneficial for them in many ways. According to the American Massage Therapy Association® the therapeutic benefits of massage continue to be researched and studied. Recent research has shown the effectiveness of massage for the following conditions:

• Cancer-related fatigue
• Low back pain
• Osteoarthritis of the knee
• Reducing post-operative pain
• Boosting the body’s immune system functioning
• Decreasing the symptoms of carpal tunnel syndrome
• Lowering blood pressure
• Reducing headache frequency
• Easing alcohol withdrawal symptoms
• Decreasing pain in cancer patients

With so many benefits, it is very important to get your company information out there and remind people why they need to come to you for regular massage therapy.

Let Sharper’s massage therapy postcards assist you with this. We have a variety of massage therapy postcards with many designs. Whether you like funny designs or more professional designs, we’ve got it covered.

All of our products are created exclusively for Sharper™ and are 100% guaranteed. Our Marketing team is dedicated to finding the perfect cards for your practice. Our designs also promote a healthy well being. With all of the different ailments out there, massage therapy is a great remedy to keeping the body healthy.

The average cost of a basic massage is $75.00.
The average cost of a reiki massage is $100.00
The cost of a minimum Sharper™ postcard order is between $34-$50.

As you can see, the cost to contact dozens of potential patients is far outweighed by the revenue you will generate even if only one of them books an appointment.  The question is no longer, “Can I afford to send direct mail to potential patients.”  The question becomes, “Can I afford NOT to?”

Business Thank you cards make a long lasting impression on patients and clients. Thank yous and your welcomes are taught at such an early age but it seems as the times change and the world moves at a faster pace we often forget to say these words as much as we should.

How can you get your patients to remember you and appreciate the business that you provide them with? How about sending any one of our business thank you cards.

Sharper™ has a variety of designs to choose from.

There are many languages in which you can say ‘Thank You’ in, however the meaning always comes across the same way. Tell your patients today that you appreciate them and thank them for choosing you as their health care provider.

We have quite a few dental recall cards here at Sharper™ that are sure to make your patients laugh (even without laughing gas, how about that?).

• Chuckle at ‘Island Dental’.

• Take a look at ‘Spitting’ without
smiling.

• Or maybe, ‘Is He Ready For Me’ is
your style.

You can personalize the backside of the dental recall cards with any message for FREE. Try adding one of the jokes below for a little bit of extra humor.

A woman and her husband interrupted their vacation to go to the dentist. “I want a tooth pulled, and I don’t want Novocaine because I’m in a big hurry,” the woman said. “Just extract the tooth as quickly as possible, and we’ll be on our way.” The dentist was quite impressed. “You’re certainly a courageous woman,” he said. “Which tooth is it?” The woman turned to her husband and said, “Show him your tooth, dear.”
What does the dentist of the year get?…A little plaque

What did the dentist see at the North Pole?…A molar bear

Open wider.” requested the dentist, as he began his examination of the patient. “Good God !” he said startled. “You’ve got the biggest cavity I’ve ever seen – the biggest cavity I’ve ever seen.” “OK Doc !” replied the patient. “I’m scared enough without you saying something like that twice.” “I didn’t !” said the dentist. “That was the echo.”

Whatever style of ‘funny’ you are looking for, our dental recall cards are sure to make you smile, laugh or giggle uncontrollably.

I googled ‘peel & stick’ today and this is the list that Google presented me with;

•Peel & Stick Abs (No clue, but I might need to get some)
•Peel & Stick Tile (Much easier than real tile)
•Peel & Stick Roofing (I wonder if there is much leakage?)
•Peel & Stick Carpet (Just make sure it sticks well. It would be odd having sections of carpet come up)

The one thing I didn’t see on the list was Peel & Stick Appointment Cards.
You are in luck however, as I already know that the best place to go for Peel & Stick Appointment cards is on our website.

We have all different kinds. Chiropractic appointment cards, Dental appointment cards, Veterinary appointment cards, eye care appointment cards and many more.

Peel and stick appointment cards are extremely convenient. They are an excellent reminder tool for the customer. They provide the customer with your company/practice name as well as a sticker containing the appointment date and time so that the customer can stick it onto their wall calendar at home or in their day timer at the office.

The Peel & Stick Abs may be a great temporary fix, but Sharper’s Peel & Stick Appointment Cards promote routine appointments and long lasting health!

If you own or work in an Animal Clinic or Animal Salon, then I am sure you have heard some of the silly, funny names that businesses come up with. There is Dog Day Afternoon, Dog E Dog World, Doggie Style, Cat Tales, The Cats Pajamas and many, many more.

They may all have different business names but they all have something in common…they deal with animals!

Sharper™ has an extensive Pet Care Market. One of the most popular categories within this market is pet grooming. Have you ever seen our grooming postcards? There are tons of excellent designs sure to attract the attention of your canine/feline friends. (Wait, is it true that cats and dogs don’t see in color?).

We have some NEW designs sure to be a paw-sitive hit with your clients!

Grooming postcards are a great way of reminding pet owners its time to bring in their furry friends so you can work some magic. Every animal deserves to be pampered.

Here is a little riddle for you…

Q: What do Teen Wolf, Harry (from Harry & The Henderson’s) and ALF have in common?

A: Nothing really, other than they are all in need of a good grooming.

If only they knew about Sharper’s grooming postcards!

If you are in North America, then you are aware that we just lost an hour. Our clocks sprung forward and if you are anything like me, you have yet to spring forward along with it. You might need an extra boost to get you feeling energized, motivated and in the Spring/Summer spirit.

Perhaps, your patients and clients are feeling the same way. They might need some orthodontic recall cards, chiropractic appointment cards, veterinary reminder cards or personalized gift certificates to remind them of the great service/care you can offer them.

I started thinking the other day, a lot of things rhyme with the word ‘recall’.

We have;

Kids in the Hall


Lauren Becall

The season called Fall

Newman, you know…Paul

What ever it rhymes with the word Recall should be an easy one to remember especially when you send your patients dental recall cards.

Sharper™ offers a wide variety of dental recall cards.

We have:

• funny ones.
• professional ones.
• cute ones.
• clean ones.

That may seem a little ‘Dr. Seuss’-ish, but whatever kind of dental recall card you are looking for, Sharper™ has many to choose from.

Remind your patients that you haven’t seen them in awhile and you care about their dental health by sending them a recall card. It let’s them know you haven’t forgotten about them, just like we will never forget about all of the things that rhyme with recall.

As the saying goes, “‘Tis better to give than to receive“.

This is true for sending your patients/clients home with personalized gift certificates. Personalized gift certificates are not just a holiday thing. Other uses for gift certificates include;

• Birthdays
• Celebrations
• Referrals
• A simple thank-you

Our personalized gift certificates are perfect for printing anything you want on the inside. You can use them for a specific event (i.e. Moving Announcement, Clearance Sale) or you can leave blank spots where you can fill in the specific dollar amount and specific service/product that is being gifted.

The best part of our personalized gift certificates is they all come with die-cuts that allow you to easily insert your custom business cards or perhaps one of our magnetic business cards.

Just remember, that by giving back to your patients, you will receive in return. The more you give, the more they will give back by referring new clients to you and trying other services you. Guess we could even call them ‘Give Certificates’ rather than ‘Gift Certificates’.

Here’s one of my favorite gift certificate designs:

It is just about that time…

When the trees start blossoming, everything starts turning green and rabbits shed their white winter coat. The air is crisper, the days get longer and the sunshine is beautiful. It is Spring!

I am always reminded of Easter around this time of year. It is fast approaching and before you know it, it will have come and gone.

Why not stock up on some holiday product to tell your clients that spring time is a fresh start and appointments are important in maintaining their overall health?

Check out our Easter plastic supply bags!
Plastic supply bags are an excellent tool to sending your clients home with as many practice building goodies of your choosing. Fill the bags with our personalized wall calendars or gift certificates.

SPRING TO IT!

It has happened to many of us.
You make an appointment, you schedule it into your calendar and when the day comes you miss the appointment because something has come up. There are a lot of excuses as to why I have missed appointments. I hate to even admit I have, as I know it causes a lot of inconvenience and loss of revenue for my doctor, dentist, optometrist etc.

However, if these offices consistently sent me appointment reminder postcards it would give me one more reason to remember how important my health is and how important it is that I don’t miss my appointment. Doctors offices, Dental offices, a variety of offices have to keep patients coming in for their regular appointments. A missed appointment can mean an instant loss of revenue to the practice. What is the best way to remind your patients that they have an appointment?

Why not try Sharper™’s Appointment Reminder postcards?

We carry appointment reminder cards for a lot of different markets.
We offer chiropractic appointment cards, dental appointment cards, veterinary appointment cards and much more. If you don’t fit into any of the specific markets we offer appointment postcards for you can try out our seasonal appointment reminder postcards.

We also offer Message Highlighting. If there is one important aspect of your reminder card that you want the patient to notice, try highlighting that portion of the message so it stands out! It is only $25.00 regardless of the quantity of cards you would like to have highlighted.

Reminding patients of upcoming appointments or that you haven’t seen them in awhile gives them that gentle push to get it marked into their calendars.

For fun, you might want to check out this blog giving insight into common reasons appointments get missed and the cures for these reasons. Eventually you can hone in on what type of patients you have and whether they fall into these categories.

The solution is easy…order some appointment reminder postcards.
