Don’t Give your Young Dental Patients Stickers or Lollipops! Opt Instead for Branded iPod Covers and Cell Phone Lanyards

Getting more young people in your dental practice today? Good for you! However, when it comes to buying items to give today's youngsters as they leave your office, don't make the mistake of giving the traditional lollipop or sticker—opt for a cell phone lanyard or an iPod cover instead!

Kids today seem to be born hardwired for electronic gadgets. Though there have been no verified instances of babies emerging from their mothers' wombs with a cell phone in hand, it sometimes seems that way! In their eyes, suckers and stickers will mark you as an old fuddy-duddy dentist who hasn't got a clue.

Remember that these kids are growing up, and will one day be part of the adult core of your dental practice.  Make sure you keep current on the right things to give in order to keep their future business!
