Getting Pragmatic AND Idealistic with Donation Boxes
One last word of advice for all you doctors out there looking to improve your business and make your patients’ visits memorable ones: consider investing in donation boxes for the office. Why donation boxes, you might ask? What’s the point? You’re already giving out incredible health advice and saving lives, after all. Having a donation box – for whatever cause – might seem a little redundant, right? Well, again, it’s all about appearances. Think about the posters and signs you put up. You use acrylic sign holders to protect them, but mainly because they look professional. Even if your office is a bumbling bastion of ineptitude, you still need to appear professional, which is why you use the holders.
Putting a donation box out in your office creates – if nothing else – the idea in patients’ heads that you are a man of the people with their welfare in mind. You’re not some rich, elitist doctor administering healthcare from your ivory tower; you’re a good honest doctor with real concerns about helping people. And the donation boxes? They’re proof of this.
But look: donation boxes are good things. When you put one out, you will collect money for a charity at little to no cost to you. Where’s the harm? It’s not like you’re out actively campaigning to raise money for these charities. You can just put the donation box in a good spot, slap a label on it identifying the charity, and sit back. Let people’s natural sense of goodwill and charity take over. You’ll be helping people, improving your image, making people happy – both the charity recipients and the charity givers – at no cost to you. Making the socially conscious choice is always the best choice, especially when that choice mainly consists of buying some donation boxes and putting them out for anyone to donate.
