Pharmacy and Medical Products Firm
Background
The medical services provider and client of Intuitive Websites (IW) wish to remain anonymous due to privacy and compliance issues. They are a renowned and trusted provider of treatments for specific chronic conditions. Despite the value of their service offerings, the firm struggled with product awareness and digital marketing results, leading them to work with IW.
Objectives
The firm’s key digital marketing objectives were to:
- Grow their customer and referral base.
- Design and launch a new and improved website that was a significant improvement over their existing website.
- Increase awareness and understanding of their products and services among patients and healthcare professionals.
- Optimize their utilization of HubSpot to more effectively stay in touch with their contact database through email marketing and contact management.
Digital Marketing Tactics
SEO and Content Marketing
To increase organic reach and awareness, Intuitive Websites optimized the firm’s website content for search engines, focusing on keywords related to their medications, services, and products. IW began developing periodic blog content as well as mid-funnel assets to build the firm’s thought leadership and connect with current and prospective patients, sharing insights about their medications and the firm’s benefits to patients and referral sources.
Social Media Marketing
Recognizing the importance of social media in modern healthcare communication, IW utilized the firm’s Facebook, Instagram, and LinkedIn channels to share their blog content, user testimonials, and product updates to reach key prospective customers and leverage word-of-mouth referrals.
Email Marketing with HubSpot
The firm implemented an email marketing campaign, targeting both new and existing patients with personalized content about their team, services and products, as well as special promotions.
Paid Advertising
To reach a broader audience, the firm invested in Google Ads and social media paid advertising managed by IW, using carefully researched keywords and demographic targeting.
Influencer Partnership
The firm partnered with patient advocates and advocacy groups to leverage their audience and credibility as thought leaders in the medical community and promoted the benefits their firm offered to new patients and referral sources.
Brand Positioning and Refresh
The firm had recently been brought under new ownership and required a thoughtful brand refresh to maintain and continue to build trust with both new patients and the existing customer base. The website redesign and brand refresh enabled the firm to maintain the core of its brand identity while growing the business in new areas.
Digital Marketing Results
After the implementation period, the firm experienced significant improvements in three key areas:
- Website Traffic: Over a nine month period, the website brought in over 3,500 users from organic search, resulting in 147 contacts and three confirmed sales. Traffic has nearly tripled in this time frame. Overall the website had a 4% conversion rate leading to over 1,200 contacts in an eight month period and growing.
- Email Conversion: Email campaigns achieved a high open rate at over 20% and a conversion rate of nearly 4%.
- Paid Advertising ROI: Paid advertising led to over 600 inquiries and several new patients. There was a 35% rise in website visitors, with a conversion rate of 6%, which translated into 4 sales. For a company where one sale is typically six figures, that is a strong result. The return on advertising spend (ROAS) was 14:1, indicating a very successful investment.
With the help of IW’s methodical and attentive work throughout our Four-Step Process, the firm kept its online platform running smoothly throughout the entire website redesign and launch process, ensuring they could maintain contact with current and new patients and continue to provide their essential services without missing a beat.
Conclusion
The new website and digital marketing campaigns were successful in increasing awareness and sales for this health care company. By using a multi-pronged approach, the firm managed to reach a larger audience and effectively communicate the benefits of their products and services.
