Question of the Day
What's new in the Student Center? That's the Question of the Day! Try it out, then tell all the veterinary students you know about it! The Student Center is made possible through an educational grant from WALTHAM Diets. Your staff and VSPN! Remind your staff members to join Veterinary Support Personnel Network (VSPN.org). VSPN provides free message boards and Rounds, and inexpensive continuing education. Your staffers will love it!

Market Your Web Site to Clients
eVetsites, in partnership with VIN, is pleased to bring you a series of tips on making your website a success. Tip #12:
Add your web address (www .yourpracticesite.com) to business cards, brochures, after care instruction hand outs, etc. Everyone that visits your practice should have your address when they leave. It takes time to educate clients to visit your site. Take advantage of every visit and every mailing to help direct clients to your new internet address. Many practice management computer systems have a field on the invoice for you to put a default comment. Make sure your domain name is listed there as well. If you send monthly statements to your clients be sure to include your domain name on the monthly statement somewhere. Don't forget the Vaccine reminder card, there's another good place to update clients. You can find all the latest tips from eVetsite Systems in the VIN library.
