Feature Story: Bradford Dental

Bradford Family Dental: Where Superheros and Smiles Converge

 

In the heart of Bradford, where smiles meet superhero-themed décor, Bradford Dental has been a staple in the community for over two decades.  

Driven by a passion for patient care and a commitment to providing a unique dental experience, the clinic stands as a testament to the vision of Dr. Chai, whose journey into dentistry was more serendipitous than planned.  

Dr. Chai’s journey began in 2001 when he acquired the Bradford Dental Practice from a retiring dentist. Over the next two decades, the clinic witnessed significant growth.  

In a strategic move in 2022, Dr. Chai embraced an opportunity to partner with corporations, allowing them to shift focus solely on patient care while relinquishing administrative responsibilities.   

As the lead dentist, Dr. Chai offers an array of services, including routine cleanings, gum treatment, tooth-colored fillings, root canals, tooth removal, dental implants, cosmetic work, orthodontics, and same-day porcelain/ceramic crowns.  

What sets Bradford Dental apart is not just its comprehensive services but the outstanding team that delivers them. With ten equipped chairs and a themed office inspired by superheroes, Dr. Chai emphasizes the importance of creating a fun atmosphere, especially for younger patients. The team is composed of extremely caring dental staff, dedicated to helping patients achieve long-lasting dental health.  

In addition to the themed environment, Bradford Dental distinguishes itself by offering in-office crown production, cutting down on patient visits, and saving them time. The clinic also utilizes advanced technology, demonstrating a commitment to staying at the forefront of dental innovation.  

When asked about what gives Bradford Dental its competitive advantage, Dr. Chai highlighted the ability to provide a range of services under one roof, coupled with a spacious office that can accommodate dental emergencies promptly.  

As they look into the future, plans are underway to expand the practice by adding more associate dentists, hygienists, and support staff. The clinic has ample space to grow and envisions becoming a hub for dental care in Bradford.  

If you’re in the Bradford area and looking for reliable dental care to suit the entire family, make sure you check out its website!

Feature Story: Needham Promotions

Needham Promotions: Products that Stand the Test of Time

 

SWAG. You’ve all heard it, you’ve all seen it, you’ve probably worn it and you’ve definitely forgotten what it really stands for. When it comes to “Stuff We All Get”, Needham Promotions takes promotional products to an entirely different level, making sure each recipient feels special even if it truly is “stuff we all get.”

Based in Aurora, Ontario, Needham Promotions has stood as a pillar of reliability in the promotional products and corporate branding industry for over three decades. Established back in December of 1993 by David Needham, the company has flourished under the leadership of its current owner, Ashleigh Eldridge, who took the reins in 2014. Ashleigh is the beating heart of Needham Promotions, keeping vital operations efficient through her commitment to organizational excellence and her amazing sense of urgency. This attitude sets the tone for the entire team, and that, coupled with the industry experience from other seasoned employees, allows Needham Promotions to stand out as a reliable player in the corporate branding space.

“Immediacy. That’s one thing that I’m known for in life. If you don’t hear back from me with only half an hour left in the day, you know something’s wrong. I always shut down my computer at the end of the day with my inbox empty. It’s one of the things that I’m known for and I’m extremely proud of,” Eldridge said.

As a member of the Promotional Product Professionals of Canada (PPPC), Needham Promotions adheres to the highest professional standards when curating custom products, so much so, that it was selected as the Distributor of the Year by the PPPC. By boasting a broad selection of products, whether it be uniforms, office supplies, or even trophies, Needham can apply logos using a vast array of application options ensuring companies are represented exactly as envisioned. From traditional silk screening to cutting-edge techniques like 3D HXD, the team is dedicated to delivering unique and lasting impressions.

Of course, it isn’t just the large selection of products and competitive pricing that makes them stand out, Needham Promotions is extremely thoughtful when it comes to its suppliers and clients, investing the time and effort to maintain a strong relationship at each end.

“It’s not so much what we’re selling, it’s who we’re selling to and how it makes them feel. So even if it’s an office administrator’s job to order pens, if I can make those pens look good and put the product in hand promptly, at an amazing price, I’ve done my job right,” she said.

Needham Promotions is known for its proactive approach to customer service, answering questions before they even come to mind. Elizabeth Cromar-Needham does exactly that as a deeply caring customer touch point, she provides personalized solutions to maintain Needham’s strong, longstanding client relationships.

Needham Promotions isn’t just a provider of promotional products, it’s a testament to the enduring values of service, quality, and client satisfaction. With a rich history, a diverse product range, and a team committed to excellence, Needham Promotions continues to be a leader in the corporate branding industry, certainly poised for another 30 years of success down the line.

If you’re interested in leveling up your SWAG, need custom promotional products that stand the test of time, or just want to get your name out there, check out its website!

Feature Story: Porches on the Towpath

Porches on the Towpath: Where History and Hospitality Converge

In the heart of New Hope, Pennsylvania, nestled at the end of a quiet lane and overlooking the historic Delaware Canal, lies Porches on the Towpath Bed and Breakfast, an oasis of tranquility and casual elegance. Originally built as a granary in the 1820s, this charming establishment has been meticulously renovated and preserved by the owner, Lisa Pretecrum, offering guests a unique blend of historic charm and modern comfort.

As you approach Porches, walkers, and cyclists meander along the towpath right outside the garden gate, mules clip-clop past pulling barges, and the distant whistle of a steam train adds a nostalgic soundtrack to the experience. Despite this idyllic rural setting, New Hope’s bustling bistros, antique shops, and historic sites are mere steps away, providing guests with the perfect balance of seclusion and convenience.

The bed and breakfast boasts thirteen charming and comfortable guest rooms, each equipped with central air and private bathrooms.

“We want our guests to experience the warmth and charm of Bucks Country lodging,” said Lisa, the gracious host and owner. “It’s a place where you can step back in time and enjoy the tranquility of a bygone world.”

Whether you choose a room in the main house, the Gatekeeper’s Cottage, or in the Quarters, Porches on the Towpath offers a range of accommodations suited for groups, families, or those seeking a more intimate escape. Each room reflects the distinctive character and warmth that defines Porches on the Towpath, inviting guests to disconnect and unwind in a space where time seems to stand still.

A highlight of the Porches on the Towpath experience is the delicious breakfast served on the gorgeous wrap-around porch, a perfect spot to start the day while soaking in the picturesque surroundings. Local and seasonal ingredients are carefully chosen to create an unforgettable morning.

Despite the challenges posed by COVID-19, Porches has adapted seamlessly, ensuring that groups are accommodated in the dining room to adhere to social distancing guidelines. However, in three seasons of the year, guests can also enjoy breakfast outside on the porch overlooking the gardens and towpath. The gardens surrounding the bed and breakfast provide a serene backdrop, featuring a fire pit, a charming gazebo, and numerous secret spots and secluded corners.

“It’s a place where you can truly unwind and relax,” said Lisa.

The gazebo is perfect for game nights or late-night chats under the stars, creating memories that linger long after their stay.

Last, but certainly not least, Porches on the Towpath is also the perfect venue for events. Whether it’s a wedding, birthday party, anniversary celebration, family reunion, or a fun-filled getaway with friends, Porches on the Towpath can cater to your needs, with the option to rent the entire property or specific spaces.

Porches on the Towpath is a place where history and hospitality converge to create an experience that goes beyond the ordinary bed and breakfast stay. It’s a journey through time, a place to celebrate the past while inviting guests to savor the present in the heart of New Hope.

If you’re looking for a serene place to stay, an event venue, or just to get out of the city, visit its website and let the photos speak for themselves

Testimonial from Walter R. Anderson Insurance Services, Inc.

To whom it may concern:

I recently had a fantastic experience working with Mitch McCoy of Schooley Mitchell. After getting to know Mitch over the past year, I decided to have him audit our telecom and merchant service expenses. Mitch explained that the initial analysis came at no cost, and we had total control over any changes or decisions.

Walter R. Anderson Insurance Services is a family owned and operated business located in Santa Barbara, CA. We have over 40 years of experience in the Legal Professional Liability Insurance industry.

After the analysis and negotiations were completed, Mitch scheduled a meeting to review the savings recommendations that Schooley Mitchell had discovered. The report was thorough and clear and gave us multiple options to choose from. The option we ended up choosing identified 65% savings on our telecom expense while upgrading our service!

They also found a 15% reduction on our merchant service fees, but we ultimately decided not to make any changes due to an existing system and process already in place. True to his word, we had the final say and there was no pressure to accept the recommendation.

Schooley Mitchell did all the work, and the service they provided exceeded our expectations.

I highly recommend Mitch McCoy and Schooley Mitchell for any business or organization interested in reducing their costs and increasing their bottom line. Having them keep an eye on our invoices while continuing to search for additional savings opportunities allows us to focus on our other business priorities.

Best regards,

Raleigh Anderson
