Lehi, Utah - November 30, 2009 - Comprehensive patient communication service, Smile Reminder, will be officially unveiling its new line of Extend Platform tools at the Greater New York Dental Meeting today at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center. Encompassing a total of six external communication and patient acquisition tools, the Extend Platform is expected to innovate and streamline operations and marketing within dental practices by providing relevant, effective and lucrative outreach solutions.
Attracting over 57,000 healthcare professionals annually, the Greater New York Dental Meeting showcases the latest developments in dentistry and practice management - the ideal hub for Smile Reminder to launch its highly anticipated external communication and patient acquisition tools. The Extend Platform will allow dental practices to modernize patient and prospect outreach through the following features:
- Practice Analytics gives dentists insight into the financial performance of the daily practice by providing reliable reporting on monthly and daily production numbers, production sources, accounts receivable, new patient inquiries, most productive procedures and more.
- Patient Mapping Tool provides geographic positioning of a dental practice's patient database and highlighting of recently acquired patients, eliminating the guesswork when determining where patients actually come from.
- Google Local Listings helps dental practices boost their regional online presence. Smile Reminder's Extend Platform assists with images, videos, reviews and keyword optimization to bring a practice's Google Local Listing to the next level.
- ZubuMail optimizes prospect outreach by creating effective, targeted and customized direct mail campaigns.
- Social Networking Tool helps dentists extend and share their practices through the powerful communities of Facebook and Twitter, increasing online visibility by posting updates and communications to the online communities from a single, simple interface.
- Smile Reminder Video is an in-office video capability that captures patient testimonials and instantly uploads them to popular video sharing sites like YouTube, Google Videos, and Yahoo! Video, resulting in increased online visibility, searchability, personalization and targeted outreach to patient prospects.
"The Xtend Platform is one of our most exciting features to date," said Jim Higgins, Smile Reminder Founder and CEO. "The Xtend Platform provides the dental industry with strategically-driven technology that is intended to give dentists information, not previously available, about their practice and leverage it with new tools to acquire and maintain patients."
Designed specifically to increase the efficiency and profitability of dental offices nationwide, Smile Reminder's Xtend Platform allows dentists to boost revenue by bringing in new patients and maintaining current ones from virtually anywhere in the world.
