It's time to turn the tassel! Spring is finally here and that means another school year has come and gone. It also means that many college students are back home for the summer months before fall classes commence. Plenty of students will also stop by their hometowns to celebrate their graduation with family and friends. As the class of 2021 returns from school, take a moment to celebrate their hard work and encourage lifelong oral health with these exciting goodies, helpful products, and quick marketing tips.

Prep Your Practice

Is your practice ready for graduation season? Getting started is easy, exciting, and encourages your whole team to get involved, too. Ask your staff to bring any banners, decor, flags, or posters that show off their college mascot or emblem. Decorate the office by placing these items around the operatories, hallways, and the waiting area. Send out a social media post congratulating students and encouraging them to stop by for an appointment. You can even include a small sign outside your office that says "Congrats, Grads!" or something similar to make your message known to your whole community. Create a custom banner or yard sign to promote your practice and your congratulations quickly and easily with SmileMakers online configurator!
