Orthodontist offers free gas to his patients

Gas prices trending down tonight, but they're still high. So how about free gas? It's what a local orthodontist is offering to his patients. Fox 2's Jessica Duknak is live in Sterling Heights. Jess, you have to look up to see the deal, but this is pretty interesting. Yeah, it is pretty creative. Now, Dr. Justin Camo, he hit me up on Instagram a couple weeks ago. He says, Jess, I'm doing this really cool thing. I think your viewers would get a kick out of it. So he started to explain exactly what he's doing. But like you said, you have to look up to see the gimmick here. So this is a billboard. It's at 59 and Van Dyke in Sterling Heights. Now, Dr. Camo, he owns four locations of Profound Orthodontics, and he wants to give his customers, his clients, free gas. He says he's sick of these gas prices, just like so many of us. So what he's doing, it works like this. Any new client who comes to get braces or Invisalign, all you have to do is just mention the billboard, say that you saw them. There's four of them around town. Mention the billboard. You will get a $100 gas card. He does all kinds of things like this. He gives away Pistons tickets, Lions tickets, expensive handbags, all in an attempt to give back to the community that he loves so much. With the gas promo, we just want to help people, you know, because during the holiday season, you know, times can get tough with, you know, financially. And we thought what a better way than giving them, you know, gas money to make sure that that's the least thing they can think about right now. And he says he's going to be doing this for the next couple of months or so throughout the holiday season. Again, if you're a new client there, just mention one of these billboards. And it's pretty cool. This guy, he's an orthodontist, but he's also kind of a marketing genius. And he has developed quite a star-studded client base. We will get into that later on the Edge at 11. For now, we'll get out of this wind tunnel. We'll see you at 11, Roop. All right. A wind tunnel nonetheless. But a lot of excitement is being kicked up by this announcement. I mean, it really is exciting. There's a cue to other people out there. If you want to help the community, there are people out there who of course, by the way, can't afford this kind of dental work. Maybe those people should be kind of drawn up and attracted to this type of a deal as well. Other businesses should offer the same thing. Yeah, for sure. And you know, of course, Roop, you know, we know it's a marketing thing and it's going to generate some business for him. But he also says that's the kind of environment he wants to create one in which, you know, he gives back to the customers that do. They spend a lot of money on braces and Invisalign. So it's a little bit of a two way street, but definitely a cue to other businesses. You give a little, you get a little good stuff. All right. Thanks so much. Jessica Dupnack for us live tonight. Jess, we'll see you on the edge.
