How Haverkos Family Orthodontics Captured 8,152 Leads Through Community Events

The story
Haverkos Family Orthodontics meets families at school events, local festivals, and other community activities. The practice wanted those brief encounters to be enjoyable and measurable. BuzzyBooth gave attendees a reason to stop, create a branded photo or video, and stay connected with Haverkos after the event when they chose to opt in.
Haverkos Family Orthodontics' Results With BuzzyBooth
Reported results from approximately four years of use. Photo and video captures are content interactions, not unique people; leads and shares do not by themselves indicate new patients.
The challenge
Make Community Outreach Engaging and Measurable
Community events let Haverkos meet families face to face, but a table and brochures alone did not always give people a reason to stop. Once an event ended, the practice also needed a way to continue conversations with interested attendees.
Haverkos looked for an experience that families would enjoy while creating a practical opportunity to collect contacts for later follow-up. These moments from its events show the kind of participation the practice wanted to encourage.

The solution
Give Families a Branded Experience to Take Home
Haverkos began bringing BuzzyBooth to school and community events. Attendees could take a branded photo or video and receive it by text or email. The interaction gave families something memorable and gave the practice a chance to capture contact information.
The photo experience could be tailored to a school, festival, season, or local partnership while keeping the Haverkos name visible. With appropriate marketing consent, the practice could then follow up after the event.
- Invite families to create a photo or video at the event.
- Deliver their content by text or email.
- Use an event-specific branded frame they may choose to share.
- Follow up with contacts who have provided the necessary consent.
The results
8,152 Leads Across More Than 100 Events
Over approximately four years, Haverkos used BuzzyBooth at more than 100 school and community events. It captured 8,152 leads, generated 18,494 photo and video interactions, and recorded 6,297 social shares.
The dashboard records activity from the experience. Those totals show sustained participation and give the practice an audience it can contact when attendees have agreed to receive marketing; they do not measure how many became patients.

After the event
Keep the Conversation Going After Families Go Home
An attendee might enjoy the experience but not be ready to book a consultation that day. When a family provides contact information and the necessary consent, Haverkos can continue the relationship with relevant communications after the event.
That matters in orthodontics, where a family may be exploring options or waiting until a child is older. A captured lead creates an opportunity for follow-up, without implying that every attendee will become a patient.
Social reach
6,297 Shares Carry the Experience Beyond the Booth
Families shared content from the Haverkos experience 6,297 times. When guests choose to post a branded photo or video, people who were not at the event may also see the practice's name.
Social shares extend the opportunity for local awareness. They are a measure of sharing activity, not a count of impressions or new patient inquiries.
Flexible use
Bring the Same Experience Back Into the Office
BuzzyBooth does not have to sit idle between community appearances. Haverkos also brings it into its practice, where patients can use it in the waiting room.
The same system can support event outreach outside the office and patient engagement inside it, while branded frames can be adapted to each setting.
The takeaway
Turn a Brief Event Visit Into an Ongoing Connection
Haverkos made its community presence more interactive by giving families something they wanted to create and keep. Across 100+ events, that approach supported thousands of contacts, media interactions, and social shares.
For orthodontic practices, the useful pattern is simple: offer an engaging experience, give people their content, collect contacts with appropriate consent, and continue relevant conversations after the event.
We've taken BuzzyBooth to more than 100 school and community events, and it's become one of our favorite ways to engage families. We can customize the experience for each event, people actually want to stop and use it, and we're able to capture leads we can follow up with afterward. It's a lot more engaging than just setting up a table and handing out brochures.
