Pumpkin Spice Isn’t a Marketing Strategy — But THIS Is
Let’s talk about the annual fall madness.
Pumpkin spice is back.
Your patients are stress-baking with caramel and cinnamon.
The year is almost over.
And your schedule looks like a pumpkin patch after a toddler birthday party: chaotic and full of holes.
If you’re not capitalizing on Fall, you’re leaving Q4 revenue in the leaves.
So let me ask you — what are your fall dental marketing ideas?
If you said “Post a Halloween picture on Instagram,” I’m gonna need you to sit down, grab a PSL, and read this entire article.
We’re going way beyond costumes and candy.
STORY: How One Practice Made Q4 Their Biggest Revenue Quarter (Without New PPOs or Crazy Discounts)
Meet Dr. Claire Mendoza from Boulder, CO.
Last October, she had the usual fall chaos:
-
Random cancellations
-
Insurance-driven procrastinators
-
Crickets in her hygiene chairs
-
And a lame “Trick or Teeth” Facebook post that got… 4 likes
She was done “winging it.”
She needed a real fall strategy that built:
✅ Recurring revenue
✅ Patient loyalty
✅ Treatment acceptance
✅ And actual momentum before January
Enter: BoomCloud™.

Fall Is the Best Time to Build Loyalty — And Recurring Cash Flow
Here’s why Fall is the perfect storm for dental marketing:
Insurance benefits are expiring
Year-end deductibles are met
Holidays = more sugar, more emergencies
Families are planning next year’s care NOW
Patients are feeling broke — but need dental care
You have two options:
-
Sit around posting spooky GIFs on Facebook
-
Create a real campaign that builds revenue per patient
Fall isn’t the time to chill. It’s the time to go full Russell Brunson-level funnel mode.
