Your patients are overwhelmed by pings, promos, and pop-ups. A single handwritten note still slices through the noise, gets opened, gets read, and often gets displayed—becoming the quietest, most persuasive billboard in the room. We sit down with David Wax, founder of Handwrytten, to unpack why pen-on-paper wins attention and how clinics can scale the habit without losing the human touch.
We trace David’s path from building a mass texting company to designing robots that hold real pens and write 30,000 cards a day. Then we get tactical for healthcare: when to send notes (new patient welcomes, anniversaries of care, birthdays, milestones, condolences), what to say (keep it under 500 characters and specific), and how to turn those moments into retention, reviews, and referrals. You’ll hear why notes triple open rates versus printed letters, how they bypass gatekeepers, and the surprising power of display—cards standing on pianos, desks, and shelves that keep your name top of mind.
If time is your constraint, we cover the systems side: one-off cards for sensitive events, business plans for volume, CRM and Zapier triggers, and adding QR codes that track scans by recipient. Choose from 30+ handwriting styles, replicate your signature, and design folded cards that look great and stand up. The goal is simple: replace forgettable “expected service” with memorable, unexpected care that feels personal and scales reliably.
