This proved very valuable as happy patients were eager to share their good experience with others.

- After researching local events (health fairs, bridal shows, local community South Miami events) I would contact the event coordinator and book the events after receiving approval from management. After booking the events I would fill in an inventory excel page (this is for all marketing materials I would take to each event) set up the table, speak to the public and gather information such as names and contacts, after I would do follow ups for the names and contacts I’ve gathered.
