No More Tricks, Just Treats

 Halloween is quickly approaching, and I think we’ve all had enough tricks in 2020! Let’s talk about some treats you can implement in your office. 

Treats for Your Patients

It’s been a difficult year for everyone, and now is a great time to show your patients how much you appreciate them. You could send out a postcard or email to all of your patients letting them know you’re thinking of them and you’re thankful that they trust your office with their dental care. Another idea, to show appreciation for your patients is to enter them into a raffle or drawing for a prize, like an electric toothbrush. 

Treats for Your Team

Positive reinforcement can be a great motivator for staff. Compliment your team on areas of their job that they do well. Praise for a job well done can motivate your team to continue to work well in that area and also to improve in other aspects of their job. 

Let your team know how much you appreciate them by buying them lunch or bringing them a sweet treat, like cookies or candy. I’ve often been surprised at how a small act like that can make such a big difference to team morale. 

Treats for Your Doctor

Our doctors need a pat on the back too. It’s been a tough year for them as business owners. With the shutdowns in dentistry and the responsibility to still pay the bills and take care of their staff, it’s been very stressful for them. A small gift, a card, or just a big thank you can make their day brighter. 

Reward your patients, your team, and your doctor with some treats this Halloween season, and give them a reason to smile. Happy Halloween!
