Patient loyalty is an important component of your practice’s success.  A patient who feels valued and welcomed by their chiropractor’s office is more likely to refer the practice to their friends, and will likely enjoy a better overall experience during their visit.  Greeting cards, appointment cards and health calendars are effective marketing tools that can greatly enhance patient loyalty and encourage referrals.

For patients who have recurring appointments, chiropractic appointment cards are a great way to remind them of their next scheduled visit.  Not only does this reduce the risk of forgotten or missed appointments, it also gives patients an opportunity to reschedule if necessary.  Include information such as the date and time of the appointment and contact information for rescheduling such as a phone number, email address or website link.

Chiropractic postcards can also be used to invite your patients to refer their friends, families and colleagues to your practice.  Special incentives can be used to encourage referrals, such as a discount on their next visit or a free consultation for an additional service.  Since referrals are a cornerstone for any chiropractic practice, these cards can have a significant impact for minimal cost.

When choosing chiropractic appointment cards, recall cards and contemporary health calendars, choose designs that are attractive and eye-catching and that reflect your practice’s personality.  High quality cards will stand out in the mail, reducing the risk that they’ll be mistaken for junk mail or sales flyers, and increasing their potential impact.  Take a look at our selection of chiropractor postcards and calendars for some great ideas for your practice.

At Sharper™, we greatly value the feedback we receive from our customers when they complete our “Would You Recommend Us” survey.  Our customers tell us the things they love about our business, but most importantly they tell us the things that create customer service issues for them.  We also receive a ton of recommendations on how we can improve our business processes to better support our customers and their goals of growing their practice or business successfully.

An important trend with our customers has been the migration of ordering products online at our website www.e-sharper.com.  Since the majority of our products are personalized with contact information and branding like custom logos, we have heard a lot of feedback about how our site did not allow customers to quickly see how their products would look when printed.  They would have to request a proof, which would be sent by email or fax.  Way too labor intensive in this day and age of technology.

So we challenged our IT team to find an easy to use application for our website where customers could enter in the information they wanted to have printed on their product, change fonts, ink colors, logos, etc.  And boy, what they found for us was great!  If you have not been to the Sharper™ site recently, please visit www.e-sharper.com.  Boasting some exciting new features including a revamped look, our website will now allow you to easily search for your products and personalize it with our online personalization tool.

Furthermore, if you create a web account, your name and address information will auto-populate…saving time from manually keying it in.  All of this information is then stored in your account for easy retrieval when you reorder.  You will also see a digital proof which represents how your products will look when printed.  Don’t like the look – then quickly change it.

Needless to say, we love technology and I know our customers will too!  Happy shopping…

It’s a lot of work, but a good spring cleaning at home or in the office feels great. Time to scrub things down, organize paperwork, and throw away unneeded or broken items. I just cleaned out my closet at home, and a charitable organization came to pick up a huge bag of clothes that I hadn’t worn in a long time. I feel fantastic to have that clutter out of my life and my home (and that it is going to a good cause)! Next up is to recycle old paperwork taking up valuable space in my desk drawers here in the office. Admittedly a big job.

• Check and clean up your patient database and mailing list
• De-clutter your digital workspace and your digital life
• Send a reactivation postcard to lapsed clients, and missed appointment cards to recent no-shows
• Check around the office and safely dispose of supplies with an expiry date that has passed
• Recycle paperwork and files that are no longer relevant
• Use Acrylic Monthly Reminder Systems to sort your card mailing program
  
  (having one for business greeting cards and business holiday cards, and another for personalized reminder cards and appointment reminder postcards really keeps things organized)
• Trim dead leaves off plants, or if they are artificial, clean them up
• Freshen up the look of your office by storing decorative artwork that has been up for a long time, and replace it with new bright Wall Art

A couple weeks ago I wrote about some of Sharper’s great looking vision recall postcards.   But what I didn’t mention is that we carry a range of eye care postcards for different occasions!

Reactivation postcards for lapsed patients…

Optometry themed birthday cards to help build relationships with patients…

Moving postcards to announce a new location…

And vision themed thank you and welcome cards…

No matter what type of eye care postcard you might need, we’ve got you covered!

Spring is on its way! At least, that is what the weather channel tells me. And while I am thankful (I am not a big fan of winter), I am also dreading it a little. With the change in seasons and all the spring showers, it’ not spring flowers that i get… it’ s migraines.

Fortunately, I have learned the value of regular chiropractic care. It has been a life saver! A timely adjustment to my occipital region can prevent a migraine from starting, or even stop one in its tracks! Combine that with that electro-impulse thing and some regular massage therapy and I am good to go!

Unfortunately though, my chiropractor’s clinic has faced some tough times recently. Between the economic slow down and the deregulation of chiropractic care, business is not as busy as it once was. And his clinic isn’t the only one. After deregulation, many people just stopped going for chiro care and even massage therapy entirely. They have only seen the “cost” of regular care in terms of money, they haven’t yet understood what the “cost” is in terms of health. Health is much more than the absence of illness, pain, injury and stress. It is the presence of joy, relaxation, and energy!

For the patient, spring is a great time to address all those small aches and pains from the cold winter months. For the chiropractor, spring is the perfect time to send out reactivation cards and reminders to patients you haven’t seen in a while. Focusing your message on the real cost of missed appointments and the benefits of regular treatment are great ways to bring back those patients who have forgotten the real value of regular chiropractic care.

Sharper has a great selection of chiropractic cards, massage therapy postcards, massage therapy/chiropractic appointment cards, business cards, and magnets.

Take a little time with your spring cleaning this year to remind your patients (past and present, old and new) just how good they’ll feel after a spring tune-up!

I know I will…
