Boo!
October’s creeping in — pumpkin spice lattes, Halloween candy raids, and… a dental schedule full of no-shows? Not on my watch. If you don’t have fresh, strategic dental marketing ideas for October, you’re practically begging for empty chairs and ghosting patients.
Listen up:
If your dental marketing ideas for October are just a dusty pumpkin in the lobby and a sad “Candy Buy Back” sign taped to the door — you’re missing out BIG TIME.
Most practices let October slip by:
Weak seasonal promotions.
Zero plan to build loyalty.
No predictable cash flow.
Let’s fix that — now.
Grab your coffee (or spiked cider, I won’t judge). This is your Jordan Comstock-certified October marketing spell book to enchant patients, boost loyalty, and crank up your Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR) like never before. ♂️✨
Meet Dr. Ella
— a candy-fueled pediatric dentist in Portland who dreaded October.
Before she found BoomCloud™:
She hosted a lame Candy Buy Back that cost her money.
She spammed Facebook with “free whitening” ads.
Her hygiene chairs were full but her cash flow was SCARY by November.
Then came the Russell Brunson Epiphany Bridge Moment:
“Why am I chasing kids’ candy when I could hook families into a plan that pays me before the sugar hits their molars?”
She rolled out a killer membership plan using BoomCloud™:
✅ Free exams & cleanings.
✅ Discounts on fillings (yep, post-candy cavities!).
✅ Easy monthly payments that auto-bill.
One October later:
✅ 620 paying members.
✅ $18,600 Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR).
✅ $223,200 Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR).
✅ Less stress, more loyal families.
Now she calls October her Candy Cash Machine.
