As a chiropractor, building relationships is essential to the success of your practice. In this era of healthcare, making a lasting impression with your patients is more important than ever. One way to do that is to send chiropractic-themed birthday cards to your patients.

Did you know that the tradition of sending greeting cards goes all the way back to early Egyptians, who sent each other greetings on papyrus scrolls? And to the ancient Chinese, who often exchanged messages of goodwill to celebrate the new year?

Centuries later, sending and receiving birthday cards is still a fun—and important—tradition to partake in. When you send a cheerful greeting to your friend or family member, you:

Let them know you’re thinking of them
Remind them that you value their friendship
Celebrate their contributions to this world

So, shouldn’t you be doing the same for your patients and colleagues? The answer is a resounding YES! Below are some ways you can grow your practice by sending birthday greetings.

Boost Loyalty and Retention

Chiropractic birthday cards are one of the most effective and economical ways to form a strong bond with patients while keeping your practice fresh in their minds. Your patients will feel valued and important when they receive a warm greeting in the mail from you. Not only will they feel special, but now they have something tangible they can display that will remind them of your practice, your staff, and the quality of care they receive when they visit you. The result is more loyalty and better retention.

Create a Friendly Feel

Patients typically view you solely in a professional manner as their healthcare provider. And while that is a positive aspect, it is also important that they feel comfortable around you. Reaching out for a celebratory occasion can definitely create a sense of ease next time they visit your office. Send a light-hearted or funny birthday card. It’s a delightful way to show your softer side and helps your clients to feel comfortable opening up to you.

Strengthen Your Connection with Colleagues

Sure, it’s expected that you say thank you to your colleagues for sending referrals to your practice. But what if you went an extra step and sent them birthday cards, too? That’s an unexpected way to express how much you value them and their partnership.

For maximum impact, you’ll need to craft a meaningful message for your chiropractic birthday cards. It should be short, sweet, and remind patients of the value they get from your services.

Here are some messages you can include in your cards to make sure they resonate with patients:

A personalized message: Greet them by name and include a memorable moment or experience they had with you.
Let them know you care: Make sure they feel valued, rather than just another patient who underwent treatment.
Gratitude for their support: Expressing thanks for their loyalty to your practice goes a long way in reinforcing a positive relationship.
An offer of further support: Invite them to come back for more follow-up treatments if necessary and let them know that you’re always available for questions and guidance via email or phone call.
