DON'T DO IT!!!!

It's impersonal, annoying, and makes you (US/OUR PROFESSION) look like a

little chiuaua dog nipping at someone's leg....

Besides, do you read the one's that come across YOUR fax machine......???

Ours go directly to File 13.

Subject: Marketing fax blasts to physicians?

Does anyone still send marketing-oriented faxes to physician offices that

refer to them? Fax is an easy way to send information, but could possibly be

looked on negatively for costing the receiver money (ink and paper). Almost

all states have a clause to exclude existing business relationships from

paying penalties for " fax blasts " , according to what I've read. It appears,

however, that sending faxes to physicians that you do not have existing

business relationships with may be considered illegal.

Just wondering.

I know people who have done this and I have been told that physician's and their

staff HATE it!! Sounds easy and should be but they see it as junk mail. I wish

it worked and was hoping it did but I got bad reports back. Hope this helps!

Totally agree with Kevyn. Very few things could look cheaper than faxing

marketing to a physician's office.
