Free Toothpaste Won’t Pay Your Rent
You’re moving your dental practice—congrats!
New zip code. New ops. Fresh start.
But here’s the brutal truth:
Giving out free samples won’t build your brand, grow loyalty, or drive predictable revenue.
You need more than a cheap welcome bag of floss and a travel toothbrush. You need a strategy.
Let’s talk about how a dental membership program—yes, even during a practice move—can 4X your revenue per patient and set your practice up for long-term dominance (while still handing out those shiny new samples).
STORY: How One Dentist Turned a Move Into a Membership-Driven Money Machine
Dr. Lacey moved her entire practice 3 miles across town in Phoenix.
She lost:
-
17% of her active patient base
-
$8,400/month in projected production
-
Her damn mind for about 2 weeks
But instead of just passing out free samples and praying her flyers worked, she launched a BoomCloud™-powered dental membership plan.
And here’s what happened…
After 9 months in the new location:
-
512 active membership patients
-
$24,900 in Monthly Recurring Revenue (MRR)
-
$298,800 Annual Recurring Revenue (ARR)
-
✅ Membership patients spent 3.4x more
-
Her “per patient revenue” jumped 57%
-
Practice bounce-back? Crushed it.
Samples Are Cute. Subscriptions Build Empires.
Handing out samples when moving your dental practice isn’t bad… but it’s just noise unless you connect it to a long-term value ladder.
Russell Brunson 101:
“If you don’t have a continuity offer, you don’t have a real business.”
BoomCloud™ is your continuity machine.
Let the free samples be your front-end hook—but let the membership program be the backend profit engine that keeps new patients loyal for years.
How to Turn Freebies Into Forever Patients Using BoomCloud™
Here’s the actual playbook we’ve seen crush it when moving a dental practice and offering free samples:
Step 1: Hook with Samples, Capture with the Plan
Use that new move as a buzz generator:
-
Offer a free “Welcome Smile Kit” at check-in
-
Include QR code to your membership signup
-
BoomCloud™ handles the landing page, payments, renewals
Combine your free gift with the pitch:
“Want free whitening for life? Join our SmilePlan—starts at just $39/month.”
Step 2: Design a Membership That Makes You Money
BoomCloud™ makes this dead-simple.
Great post-move membership options include:
-
New Patient Plan w/ whitening bonus
-
Family Plan (kids + adults)
-
Perio Maintenance Plan
-
Emergency-Only “Just in Case” Plan
Each should:
-
Be monthly (subscription-style)
-
Offer tangible value (discounts, savings)
-
Require zero insurance BS
Step 3: Price Smart
Target $29–$79/month depending on services.
Use BoomCloud™’s calculator to ensure profit per plan.
Even just 300 active members = $10K+ MRR
Step 4: Promote It Like You’re Launching Netflix
Use BoomCloud™ marketing tools + your relocation as a campaign:
-
“New Practice. New Perks. No Insurance Needed.”
-
Free samples + “Scan here to join our SmilePlan”
-
Email campaigns to current & lost patients
-
Local press: “Subscription-Based Dentistry Comes to [City]”
CASE STUDY: New Roots Dental – Portland, OR
They moved 5 blocks… but lost 22% of their base due to parking changes and geography (yes, really).
Instead of panicking, they:
-
Launched a $49/month membership plan via BoomCloud™
-
Sent “free whitening” sample kits to nearby neighborhoods
-
Offered 1-month free when signing up via QR code on samples
9 months later:
-
612 active members
-
$29,900/month in recurring revenue
-
92% retention rate
-
Practice grew faster after the move than before it
Sample + Subscription = Revenue Stack
Free samples are a great front-end offer…
But without a backend subscription model, you’re tossing marketing dollars into the void.
With BoomCloud™, you can:
✅ Offer value
✅ Automate payments
✅ Build MRR
✅ Convert “sample-takers” into loyal revenue-generating machines
