Check these stories on my webpage under Chiropractic News E-mail message this week .. Procrastination If you have been a procrastinator and have neglected to create a Holiday Program .. itžs not too late. Thanksgiving .. Christmas .. New Years .. allow a huge window to focus our attention on the community and our patients. While doing this .. we can also focus on our bottom line and reconnect with previous patients .. potential new patients and offer our present patients the ability to assist their family and friends. What I am about to write is nothing new .. in fact .. every seminar program and consultant have prepared promotional material with scripts and staff training guidelines. There is just so much one can do to tweak well established programs .. the trick is not in recreating the wheel but to get us off our butt and Do Something! Letžs outline a few ideas. Call a local or national charity such as a Food Bank .. Toys for Tots .. United Way .. Salvation Army .. Red Cross or local Homeless Shelter. Call or write them and request a letter from their organization welcoming your desire to collect funds or material. This will open community access for present and future projects. Decide which charity you desire to work with and create an awareness campaign for your patients and community. If you have been following my previous e-mail messages you would have by now established a patient and community e-mail address list. If so .. create an e-mail newsletter and send these out with your goal to collect funds or material for the charity during this holiday season. You may also wish to send a snail mail flyer or newsletter as well. As part of this charitable program your office will be a collection point .. establish a minimum like $10 .. and with every donation and/or can or non-perishable food item the patient is eligible to be in the drawing for an office prize. Be as giving as you wish but something of worth is in order from tickets to the movies .. dinner for two .. or some other useful gifts. This is where your letter from the charity helps. You can canvas your community for complimentary door prizes .. such as dinners .. movie tickets .. and much more and the letters provide credibility. You can also offer durable office products such as cervical pillows .. supports or whatever you feel comfortable giving. But as important is to attract previous and new patients. Sending these e-mails are cost free and reaches many previous patients just waiting to be reactivated. If they havenžt been in for an adjustment during the previous six months they can be evaluated and have a complimentary adjustment with their donation .. be sure this is noted in your newsletter and flyers. Patients can offer complimentary examinations to the family and friends for a donation to the charity. If patients work in a facility that has ergonomic issues offer your services for instructional classes to their employer and evaluations for their employees. There is no limit when your creative juices begin to churn. Use this window of opportunity to be a giving and caring doctor but in the true nature of being a doctor .. be a teacher and a leader. Lead those wishing increased Health and Wellness to your office and then ethically and honestly provide knowledge and your skills. Your decision when flipping your office lights on each morning is to either stare at an empty office or one filled with people in the process of getting an staying well. The choice starts with doing something. Donžt procrastinate any further .. I just gave you some ideas that can even linger into the new year .. now ..Do Something!
