Shared by: Dr. Gary Fisher tcchiropractor@psci.net Every year I send out Christmas cards with a "Thank You Gram" inside, which says, "Because holiday expenses delay people from making decisions about health care, our office offers first day services, free of charge to referrals from our existing patients during December 200X. This offer includes initial examination, any medically necessary x-rays (costing up to $280 or more) and report of findings. This is an ideal time to introduce someone to chiropractic care. Simply give them this card and remind them to mention your name when scheduling your appointment. Health is your most important possession, and there is no greater act of caring than showing concern for someone's health. {and in find print} Medicare, Medicaid and Champus patients are prohibited from participating in this or any other offer. I live about 20-miles from Santa Clause, Indiana and take the cards there so they get the Santa Clause postmark, and on the outside of the envelope, I place a clear label that says, "I'll bet this the first Christmas Card you get from Santa Clause". The trick is to get them out early, the weekend after Thanksgiving is when I do it. This program costs me about $300 to send out about 500-cards per year and last year produced 14-referrals during December. But the best part is that while walking though stores people shout, "Hey, Doc - I got your Christmas Card". This really works. G. Fisher Tell City, Indiana
