Halloween
Candy Buy Back Newsletter #4
We
are building momentum across the country with the numbers of offices that
are planning this wonderful event. Here’s an e-mail message from
Dr. David Jones with some great ideas. I encourage all of you to keep
sending me your stories like this.
They help everyone!
Chris,
Thought I'd share some
of our experiences so far. We've made up a flyer and started talking
to patients and select friends of the practice already. From this
we've added two restaurants that will give a free kids meal; a local
Mexican "El Chico's" and McDonalds is giving a free
cheeseburger. We've always had the coupons from McDonalds but they
are coming on board to support this great idea!
Also, one of my adult patients called the local newspaper writer of these
kinds of human interest stories and she is coming out to get a story about
this. That was last week. Now that same patient wants to be
one of the sponsors of the money too! This has all transpired since
Wednesday of last week, and we only work Mon-Thur.
We have the press release and flyer out on the front desk and everyone
that comes in comments on this great idea. Thanks so much for
sharing this with us all. . . this is a win-win-win!!!

If
you would like to inform all of your patients about your upcoming
Halloween Candy Buy Back event, here is a sample letter you could send.
This will get your patients interested in the event and spreading the word
too! Your community will see you as taking an active role and
interest in the health of young people and supporting our nation's armed
forces in a “taste of home” kind of way. You will experience your
“buzz” increasing daily.

Dear
Moms and Dads,
Halloween
is coming, and normally it’s hard for your dentist to get excited about
that day because of all the candy your kids will eat. However, this year
will be different. Don’t you just
wish that on the day after Halloween that your kids’ sacks full of candy
would just disappear? Well we can help, and this is something we are very
excited about! This year we’ll buy the
candy back from your kids. We’re not kidding! Sure,
they can have a few treats
on Halloween night and maybe even keep a couple more for later in the
week. But we’ll take the rest of it and pay them for it! The candy will
be shipped overseas to our courageous troops (who could sure use a treat
or two!) serving our country in the
Middle East
. In return, we’ll give your kids $1 per pound of donated candy and a
Firefly flashing toothbrush.
Global
sugar consumption for kids increases by about 2% annually and currently
sits at 50 million tons per year, which means parents need to be very
watchful now more than ever before. Too much candy can lead to
hyperactivity and weight gain, as well as cavities or worse. In some
cases, the wrong types of candy can also lead to broken
teeth and damaged braces.
Kids
should still dress up, go out, have fun, and yes, even eat some candy. But
after picking out the best of their stash, they will probably have about
10 pounds left, and nobody
needs that much candy!
Bring
your kids and your candy in on November 1 between 3:30 and 5:00 p.m., and
spread the word!
Sincerely,
Dr.
Chris Kammer

That
letter can go out to your little patients’ parents first thing in
October. That’s all for this week. Keep sending us your stories about
your promotions and also let me know if there are any questions we cam
help you with.
Chris
PS-
There is still time to sign up for our seminar. We’d love to have you!!
