Ritter and Hagee Show It’s Possible to Be Both Responsible and Amusing

The video outlining new appointment procedures and safety precautions features staff reciting a Seussical-like poem about masks, sanitation and how the practice will reschedule the 1,000 canceled appointments from the past six weeks.
The lesson for marketing your small business during a pandemic is to stick to your brand, be responsible and don’t be afraid to show customers that you can have a little fun. With all the stress and worry circulating, customers will appreciate the breath of fresh air.
