Why Mari's List?

 

Mari’s List® represents only orthodontists and their interests. You order directly from our companies; we are not a middleman and do not accept a portion of sales. With our buying power, we negotiate deals no individual practice is able to on their own, and with more than 2,700 doctors, we have massive leverage. 

 

After the first year, the average reported savings from a Mari’s List membership is $10,000 or more, with many doctors reporting a savings of $15,000 to $30,000. Several members have even reported savings of over $50,000 a year and a 4-5% dental supply cost.

 

Mari's List helps you know where to shop for the greatest value, savings, and service, ranging from equipment to disposables, instruments, peripherals, office supplies, and more. We actively negotiate with companies our members request if they meet our standards and fulfill a need.

​

 

Mari's List is not a Group Purchasing Organization. GPOs can take 2-5% of sales, with some charging 15-20% or more! Group purchasing platforms have hidden costs, which can add up to many thousands per year. Because we do not take a percentage of sales as part of our business model, we are advocates for our members and can provide unbiased recommendations.

 

​

With Mari's List, you get an advocate for your practice with a career’s worth of experience in orthodontics. We will guide you toward the best value for products you use every day, plus give you access to an incredible study group and major promotional deals we negotiate throughout the year.

 

Supply ordering is typically a secondary duty given to a capable but already busy staff member, so they naturally tend to stay on autopilot, defaulting to what is easiest and fastest, not necessarily the best value. They typically do not have the breadth of experience to know where to shop and simply do not have the leveraged buying power of a group like Mari's List to get the best pricing.

 

In our experience, we have found that doctors often do not know what percentage of revenue their supplies represent, and if they do, they are not sure whether that percentage is good or not. When you add in additional costs for self-ligating brackets, aesthetic options, and other specialized modalities, supply costs can rise rapidly. This makes it especially important to find the best products and value across the board, especially the small consumable items that are often overlooked but add up quickly.

 

Becoming a member of Mari's List means the savings last as long as your membership. For the first year, you pay a one-time setup fee, plus your annual membership dues. Once your first year is up, you renew for the annual fee in order to continue receiving the pricing our group offers.
