It is never too early to plan ahead for any advertising and marketing you are thinking of doing for next year.  Moreover, by building a strong relationship with your existing patients before the new year starts, you can ensure their return  and a full appointment book in 2012.

If you’re thinking of sending out calendars, Sharper’s 2012 Tri-Fold Calendars are an economical year-round reminder.  Envelopes are included free with your order.  Ask us how you can easily customize designs.  Here’s a great idea…try having a few New Year’s resolutions for improved Oral Health printed on the back.

NEW YEARS RESOLUTIONS THAT ARE SURE TO PUT A BEAUTIFUL SMILE ON YOUR FACE IN 2012.

1. FLOSS DAILY. Brushing with a toothbrush just won’t completely do the job of removing plaque.
2. CHANGE YOUR TOOTHBRUSH AT LEAST EVERY COUPLE MONTHS.
   A new toothbrush will help build a beautiful new smile.
3. INCLUDE HEALTHY SNACKS IN YOUR DIET EVERY DAY. Choose fruit and veggies over sweets and soda.
4. VISIT YOUR DENTIST FOR REGULAR CLEANINGS AND CHECKUPS. Give us a call. We will be happy to set up appointments for you all at once or throughout the year.

Choose from a wide variety of designs, and if you see something that you would like to change slightly…let use know.  Our very talented Creative Services Team will be happy to set up your artwork just the way you want it.  You can take any of the Sharper™ Designs and add your own copy (front or back)

C-5059 Smile Waterfall

C-5075 Every Smile Is Beautiful

C-5060 Cosmetic - Seasons

And, if you want to remind them of their appointments, we have matching appointment cards for many of our designs.

Get ready for a great 2012. Plan ahead.

Calendars are a great way to keep your practice top-of-mind with patients all year-round.  Check out our Seasonal Collection for more great ideas.

FC-2233SP Thanksgiving Greetings (Premium Large Folding Card)

Can you even fathom the fact that soon it will be holiday time again?  Where did this year go?  It sneaks up on you when you least expect it.  But fortunately at Sharper, we start working on our holiday cards and calendar designs in early spring.  During this time of year, we really get into the spirit of the season in the design department;  decorating our offices with snowflakes and previously designed folding cards, maybe an early bird Christmas tree, and even the odd carol may be heard!  I haven’t put on a Santa’s suit yet, but you never know, maybe this year!

This fall, Sharper has such a great lineup of designs suitable for financial planners, advisers, mortgage brokers and insurance professionals. Many of them are crafted with beautiful foils, glitters and embossing that are so beautiful to the touch, and something that I know I would want to leave on my mantel for a while if I received one.  The foil holiday cards are over-sized and give so much more impact when received.  There is also an incredible array of standard sized holiday greeting cards that make a thoughtful year-round reminder when you include a calendar bookmark or magnet.  Some really great savings on a great product line.

It does keep me alert though, to the fact that the earlier you plan something, the better off you’ll be.  With the new year just around the corner, sending a premium quality holiday card is an ideal way to warmly convey your best wishes and gratitude to clients, colleagues and friends for their continued loyalty throughout the past year.

You and your team have likely worked extremely hard this past year to build strong relationships, and it is a wise decision to reflect this respect and gratitude in all of your communications throughout the year.  Acknowledge milestones, say thanks and announce any new offers or specials.  Keep clients up to date on any changes in your company.  Create a referral plan to get you moving in the new year.  Sharper™ also has a wide array of standard holiday cards that will serve as a thoughtful year-round reminder when you include a calendar bookmark or magnet along with it.

The first half of 2010 is already and it’s time to start thinking about 2011!

Sharper™ offers Personalized Wall Calendars , they make great giveaways for the holiday season. There is a wide range of calendar designs, perfect for those who are animal lovers, car enthusiasts, travelers, fishermen and hunters, and those who love to cook, golf, etc.

My favorite wall calendar is the Planet Earth calendar. I just love the amazing pictures of animals and landscapes. It is really hard to pick a favorite picture! In the July picture,  the jellyfish surrounded by fish is just beautiful. Underwater pictures always fascinate me and jellyfish are mysterious beauties that captivate me every time. The tree frog with the water drops on the front cover is another great photo. His red eyes are stunning and in contrast with the green leaves and the frog’s green face the color of his eyes looks even more intense. The monkey in the hot spring (February) is another great snapshot.

When our calendars come out every year I am so excited to see the variety and creativity that our Art Department has been able to create for all of the practices and businesses that use our products.
If you are not familiar with our calendars we have several different formats to suit all of your needs.

Personalized Wall Calendars are the traditional format but for 2011 we have 19 beautiful designs to choose from!

We have designs suitable for any practice or business.

The next type of Calendar is our Personalized Promotional Calendars.  They fit nicely into any business sized envelope and are a great addition to a statement or other pamphlet you are mailing anyway.  Just as a reminder, have your envelopes printed for a $25 flat fee regardless of quantity!

Sharper™ through the years…

People often ask how Sharper™ began. Twenty-five years ago there were few options available for patient and client communications. Sharper Cards was created with one purpose in mind – to provide professionals with quality patient and client communication cards that were both friendly and effective. Our first advertisement was a one page flyer with 12 card designs! Since then we have grown to a customer base of over 40,000 worldwide and have expanded our product line to include personalized dental birthday cards, dental calendars, massage therapy business cards, veterinary appointment cards, and many other promotional products.

As a special thank you during the month of May, you can receive a $25 gift card. Click here to find out how you can participate.

Plus – all orders will be entered into our birthday celebration draw to win their purchase!

I received my first dental peel and stick appointment card, from my dentist the other day. It put me in the shoes of the consumer and made me look at Sharper’s products from a whole new light.

As a designer I always wonder “What is the customer going to think of these products, whether it be dental birthday cards or chiropractic appointment cards or personalized wall calendars?” “Are they effective, usable and eye catching at the same time?” “What will make the dentist, chiropractor or optician buy them?”

And after receiving the peel and stick from my dentist I was very impressed with how effective the peel and stick appointment card worked. Not only was it a fun and eye catching design, it was easily used by the receptionist to write down my next appointment and easily taken home by me to stick on my calendar.

Being able to experience the usability of a Sharper product first hand was really neat! Since everyday we design these products but don’t always get the consumers experience of using them first hand. I look forward to more experiences like this in the future, which I think will make me a more knowledgeable and stronger designer for Sharper. And in turn the customer will get more eye catching, effective and usable designs.
