If you don’t know where to find a system to do this for you, check out our dental reminder cards system. There are so many great things to say about this system not to mention all the great things it can do for your business.

Card 1: The Thank You Card

This is the first card they receive after their visit to your dental office. Just a simple “Thank You For Choosing Us!” type of card. You’ll want to send this card immediately after their visit.

Card 2: Fun Dental Tip Card

This is a really fun and original way to keep in touch with patients and clients. Send this one 2-3 months later. Create a card that doesn’t have anything promotional in it, just a couple of fun facts or tips. Not only does this help them remember you, it also acts as a viral marketing tool! If your little tips are fun or interesting enough, they’ll likely share your card with their friends.

For example on the inside of this card you could write:

Hi Mary!

Did you floss today?

Here are a few fun dentist facts we thought you’d enjoy!

How much is the Tooth Fairy paying per tooth? Around $2 per tooth, according to Securian Dental Plans, an insurance provider. (12/05, Money Magazine)

Top of the American teeth stakes in the poll for greatest looking teeth were Hollywood actors Brad Pitt and Julia Roberts.

AAP’s recent consumer survey found:

* 50% consider the smile the first facial feature they notice
* 80% are not happy with their smile
* Respondents were 7 times more likely to have periodontal, smile enhancement procedures, than facelifts
* Smile enhanced procedures outnumbered eyelid surgeries 5 to 1

See you in a few months!

Sincerely,

Dr. Jim Roberts

Card 3: Appointment Reminder Card

Since regular checkups are every 6 months, set up a reminder card to be sent out automatically around the 5th month. This one card could save you countless, “I forgot” excuses. ;o) See the example above? Simple, easy and very inexpensive to create yet has a very high attention grabbing quality. This is how easy it can be to stand out from everyone else!

Card 4: Birthday Card

You probably have your client or patient’s birthday in your database already. Do you send them a card on their birthday? You should.

With the right system, you can have one sent automatically on their birthday without you having to keep track of each and every one yourself. Imagine how they’ll feel knowing you remembered their birthday! This is how you build clients for life.

Card 5: 2nd Six Month Check-up

Let them know it’s that time again. Now it’s almost a year later and sent out your reminder cards automatically.

It only took you a few minutes to set up your card campaign but you’ll reap the rewards for a full year!

At the very least, you’ll want to send them a birthday card and attached to your card offer a discount for one of your services during their birthday month.

You may want to send a reminder postcard every month or so to remind them that it’s time to get a trim, touch up their roots and get their monthly massage – or any other salon & spa service you may provide. You get the idea.

You can create a card like the one I designed here. On the front of this Salon & Spa card you say you’ve got a spot reserved for them, on the back ask them to call and confirm a time. This will set their mind in motion that they need to confirm with you. Of course, you’ll book any time that is convenient for them, and you just got a repeat sale from something that took 10 minutes to do!

Real estate greeting cards can help distinguish you from the pack!

A study done by the National Association of Realtors revealed that 85% of home buyers said they are likely to buy from their agent again or recommend them to others. In addition, 40% of home buyers choose an agent based on a referral.

The numbers are working in your favor, now all you have to do is make sure your prospects and clients remember you and not your competition!

We have made it extremely easy for you to accomplish this with the use of our contact management and real estate greeting card system.

Card Catalog

The new card catalog will display more cards per page for quicker searches, includes a large pop-up view of the front and inside of cards for a detailed close-up before making your selection, and other features to help simplify your search for the perfect card!

Card Editor

The editor itself features an attracitve, easy-to-use interface and offers a larger font selection, the ability to change the size, color, and alignment of individual text blocks instead of being applied to the entire card, and a built-in spell check to ensure your cards are pristine and professional.

Another exciting feature that we know many of you have been dying to use is the new versatility of the personal signature. In the new card editor, you’ll be able to add text after signatures (for all you “P.S.” people) and can change the size, color, and alignment of your signature just like any other block of text.

Adding pictures to your cards will be easier than ever. You can add anything from a full-bleed image across the card as we did in the screenshot above or you can select from other arrangements and add in your PicturePlus images. We’ll even let you know the image quality of photos so you’ll know if an image is well-suited for printing or not.

Recipient Page

The recipient page now looks just like an envelope to remind you that your card (or cards) are being stuffed, stamped, and mailed for you. Also, one of the most exciting features with the new card editor is how we’ve streamlined the proccess of sending a single card to multiple recipients. You won’t need to create a campaign card any longer, but can search through your contacts and simply put a “check” next to those whom you’d like to send your card.

Confirmation Screen

Our final shot features the confirmation screen, where you’ll find the “Send Card” button. It will give you a detailed breakdown of the points and postage you’ll be using and even allows you to add points or postage on the spot so you don’t have to lose your work just because you forgot to add funds, and all this in the name of making your card sending experience as easy as we can. After all, our system is all about convenience.

As much as saying “Thank You” in person is important and meaningful, there is something special and lasting about sending Thank You cards.

Due to our busy lifestyles, sending Thank You cards are often pushed to the very bottom of our to-do lists.

However, once we become aware, it may not be long before you pick up the “Thank You Card” habit.

Get the Kids Involved

The best way for a habit of sending Thank You cards is to start in childhood.

If children begin writing Thank You cards and notes for gifts that they have received, and favors that people have done for them, it will become a natural part of their good manners throughout life.

Furthermore, by teaching children to send Thank You cards, they will better learn about the value of generosity, and to appreciate the goodness and kindness that others have to offer.

“When I was a young child, my parents occasionally went out with friends for dinner. Invariably, when they returned from an evening out, I saw my mother sit down at her desk and begin to write. One night I asked her what she was doing.

Her answer came straight out of Emily Post: “We had such a wonderful time with our dear friends this evening that I want to jot them a note to thank them for their friendship and the wonderful dinner.”

My mother’s simple act of gratitude helped to keep my parents’ friendships strong for their entire lifetimes.”

This Business Thank You Card was created using Photoshop, our logo and this image from Dreamstime. I simply changed the logo to white and made a couple of adjustments (turned off the stroke and adjusted the black outer glow) and dropped it right on top of the image.

Time to create: 5 minutes.
