Long Family Eye Care Dear Jarrod, I know, I know...It's been since April since you've heard from me. But, as you know, I compose and send this newsletter myself to over 500 of our patients and, between my family and this growing practice, I stay pretty darn busy. Anyway, read on for an idea that Gretchen, our marketing and scheduling coordinator, just came up with! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Word-of-Mouth Monthly Drawing Dr. Angie and I have always understood the importance of word-of-mouth as it pertains to growing our practice -- and that is primarily how it has grown! In the past, we have sent "thank you for your referral" cards (which we will probably still do) and other nice things to patients who have been so kind to refer their freinds, family, and co-workers to Long Family Eye Care. Well, now we would like to try something new. Any of you that refer a patient will have your name entered into a monthly drawing to win things like gift certificates, movie tickets, savings within our office, etc. So, be sure to tell those people that you recommend to visit us for their eye care to write your name down when they sign in.

Also, you don't have to get pushy about reminding people to write your name down because we have a place on our intake form for them to write it, and we ask who sent them if it's left blank anyway. Sincerely, ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ W. Jarrod Long, O.D.
