Winter is just around the corner, and that means that the hustle and bustle of the holiday season are almost upon us! Now is the perfect time to prepare your practice and provide your patients with a seasonal experience that will warm their hearts and make them smile. SmileMakers has everything you need to stock up on supplies and goodies to make the most of the coming months. Check out the following tips to treat little patients, spread good cheer in your community, and start the new year off strong for your practice!

Send Season's Greetings with Holiday Recall Cards

Whether it's a Friendsgiving feast celebration or Christmas traditions spent with family, the holidays are a season of cherishing intentional time with loved ones. With a flurry of winter plans at the forefront of your patients' minds, healthy habits can get whisked away and become less of a priority. Don't forget to order our Happy Holidays Recall Cards to keep them coming back for regular hygiene visits throughout the winter months! When families open their mailbox to receive this cozy, considerate card, they'll remember to maintain merry health by visiting your practice while they have time off.

Use Festive Decor to Spruce Up Your Space

Looking for a way to make appointments feel more festive for your community? Now is an excellent time to stock up on Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Year decor for your office! Cultivate a warm and welcoming winter wonderland with our Goofy Plush Reindeer Bendables and Plush Mini Bean Bag Snowmen. Bundled up in lovable little scarves, this cute Christmas crew will add a lighthearted touch placed beside a tiny, twinkling tree in your patient lounge or at your front office desk! By curating a space that reflects this season's spirit of joy, patients of all ages will feel right at home when they visit you and your team.

Help Patients Maximize Their Benefits Before the New Year

Can you believe it? 2022 is soon to make its exciting debut. This winter, be sure to remind patients to schedule an appointment before December 31st to maximize their benefits — they won't roll over when we ring in the new year! Start by planning a collection of social media posts that inform and encourage your community to use up their benefits and come visit their favorite team for a checkup. From writing educational captions that engage your patient family to doing the "Jingle Bell Rock" on TikTok with your staff, social media is a fun, easy, and effective way to prompt your patients to book a speedy appointment!

Stock Up on Memorable Seasonal Rewards for Kiddos

This busy winter season will come and go, but festive memories made at your office will last forever. Get ahead of the holiday craze by ordering presents and goodies for your little patients today! With a happy holiday squad of Thanksgiving friends, our Hedgehog Magnet Craft Kits will help spark play and add a sweet seasonal touch to your gift bags. For the budding bakers, invite young patients and their parents to get creative in the kitchen with our Custom Christmas Tree Cookie Cutters! Our bounty of Thanksgiving, Christmas, and other seasonal toys are sure to make them light up and look forward to future appointments.
