INTERSTATE SPECIALITIES
Promotional Advertising -- the one kind of advertising that people love!
“Without advertising, a terrible thing happens. ..... Nothing!” Investment in advertising is an investment in a longtime healthy practice. For a relatively small cost you can build your practice, with tremendous results.

Whatever you give away to your patients -- be it our popular lip balm moisturizer, a pen or highlighter, a coffee mug or water bottle, a teddy bear or other comfort care items, or fun things for kids -- you’re sending a message. It’s like saying, “We love you!”, “Thank you for your loyalty!”, or “You’re important to us!” It’s a great way to increase word of mouth advertising and referral
networking.
We’re pleased to be the exclusive Crown Council Resource for specialty products! Since 1982, Interstate Specialties has been providing professionals with their promotional needs. We know what works.

DOC STAFF
DocStaff Dental Placement Agencies is the result of the successful business model developed by Deb Roberge in 1998. This prototype served over 600 dental practices in the Phoenix area to rave reviews. Deb’s 30-plus years in all areas of dentistry has enabled her to effectively understand the “family” environment and small business concerns of a dental practice, as reflected by our reasonable and demographically appropriate fee structure and personal interaction. As we expand throughout the country, Deb will make herself available for online guidance with all aspects of the hiring process and developing team longevity. She has agreed to make valuable forms easily accessible at no charge through the Crown Council network. These tools support the proven methods that have been so appreciated by her many clients. Watch for DocStaff agencies opening in your area. As a Crown Council dentist, we will extend a 20% courtesy on your first permanent placement, and 10% courtesy on all placements thereafter.
