What if your next raffle didn’t just collect names, but actually filled your practice schedule?

This episode debunks the myth that any raffle will attract new patients, revealing why most fall flat and what truly works to grow your patient base. Dive into the four common pitfalls that sabotage traditional raffle efforts, from off-the-mark prizes to a lack of follow-up, and discover why simply collecting names isn’t enough to fill your chairs.
