Hospitals and healthcare networks are listening to their patients and delivering targeted, personalized communications. Personalizing the patient experience is a top goal for most healthcare marketers, and we're seeing the trends move toward new and unique ways to use data. Multichannel marketing campaigns, personalized automated reminders, geo-targeting for hospital marketing—these are just a few of the ways we are problem solving for our clients in the healthcare industry. How does it work?
While there is no "one size fits all" approach for hospitals, we begin each client engagement with a conversation. What are your challenges? How can we solve your unique problems? Listening and then finding creative solutions is how we deliver better service—rather than selling a packaged commodity.
Here we're going to show a small sample of the creative approaches and problem solving for our clients. Maybe you experience the same issues, or maybe your challenges are completely different. Allow these mini case studies to inspire you and get the creative juices flowing!
A "market to movers" campaign is increasingly a big ticket item for healthcare companies. This type of campaign uses data on people who've recently moved into a targeted location. We set up an automated campaign for this particular client to send direct mail monthly to new movers, with elaborate personalization and design. The direct mail piece has the following components:
Over the course of six years this campaign has been very successful. The pieces below represent each wave of the campaign: 1. New mover data, print materials embedded with PURLs 2. Eight versions mailed with different info based on zip code and targeting data. 3. Confirmation letter to those who respond. 4. Tracking reports back to the hospital that accounted for ROI of spend per family, and revenue generated per visit. Results showed that the response rate is high, and campaign spend is ~$5/family which generates on average ~$1,800/visit.
Many hospitals and healthcare systems fail to send out basic reminders for appointments, but it is one of the best ways to use your data and get patients in for their annual checkups and visits.
In this example, we set up automated postcard or personalized letter reminder campaigns for a savvy healthcare system. Their marketing team works with our specialists to create strategic campaigns that utilize data, automation, and robust printing capabilities. The sophisticated campaigns produce very good results for this client, which keeps them coming back to us with new ideas and challenges to solve.
The automated postcard reminder campaigns send out notices by topic or condition, and they are targeted and personalized for each consumer. Using hospital data systems, we mail to homes and track down stream patient activity. Or we can generate new patient mailing lists by profile and sorting by zip code, then track down stream activity.
