History of Smile Cinema

Picture Image of History of Smile Cinema

Smile Cinema was thought of after a phone call to our support department from a doctor asking us if there was a way for him to be able to play his product DVD's from his server so that he doesn't have to fumble with physical DVD's. The doctor’s main concern was that by the time he was able to find his product DVD and play it for his patient he had already lost the product sale. Here at Smile Cinema we thought "this is a great idea, but why can't we have it so the doctor can play movies from his media server too?"

When we created Smile Cinema we had the doctors concern in mind. By having DVD players in each room not only do you have to deal with lost DVD's, scratched DVD's, DVD's already being used when you want to use them, etc, you ALSO have the added cost of putting DVD players in each room. When you compare the costs of DVD players, installation time, replacement of DVD's when they get too scratched to play and the replacement of DVD players that will fail after time with a simple and quick installation of Smile Cinema you can easily see that using Smile Cinema makes much more sense then messing with DVD players and DVD's.

DVD Player Scenario (assuming you have TV’s in each room):
Office with 6 operatories and a waiting room:

- $350 = $50 x 7 DVD Player's (Cheapest Available)
- $420 = $60 x 7 Installation (industry standard rate of $120/hr with 30mins per room $60 x 7
- $150 = Replacement DVD's every year 10 DVD's @ $15/piece
- $175 = 50% DVD Player failure rate after 2 years

Total cost for 6 OP practice = $1,095


This is the cost for your initial installation, but we also have to factor in the fact that cheap $50 DVD players will fail fairly quickly, plus the time your practice is wasting searching for DVD’s, putting them in the DVD player, waiting for it to load the movie, and clicking the play button. Plus, your DVD replacement could be greater depending on how well your staff treats your DVD's. So it’s very easy to see that these costs can keep adding up.

Let’s just say that it takes your staff on average only 5 minutes to find the DVD your patient wants, load it, and hit play. And you have an average of 15 patients a week that watch DVD’s when they’re in your operatories.

5 mins X 15 Patients = 75 Minutes of your valuable time!

That's 300 minutes a month!

That’s 5 hours every month wasted on simply finding entertainment and product education DVD’s. Rather than have these 5 hours cost you, fill this time with more patients!

Put all of this information we just shared with you aside. Now think about the fact that publicly showing DVD’s in your practice is a federal crime that carries with it heavy fines. Smile Cinema provides you the license to be fully compliant with federal copyright laws and allows you to publicly show nearly any movie your patients will want!
