Healthcare marketing

Client at-a-glance

• Southern-based, independent, non-profit health system

• 100 locations with 4,200 team members serving 625,000+ patients

• Offers behavioral healthcare, cancer care, emergency services, heart and vascular care, pediatrics, primary care, senior services, surgical services, virtual care, women’s services, and more

Opportunity

This health system needed to attract new movers in their service area and convert them into patients.

They needed support in executing a campaign that welcomed the new movers into their community by promoting three different services: Urgent Care, Primary Care, and their Health and Wellness Center.

Campaign Goal

Encourage individuals who recently moved into their service area to establish care with this southern-based health system.

Solution

Partnering with Personify Health, this system leveraged Personify Health’s patient acquisition solution to create and deliver a direct mail campaign.

It was key for this health system to connect with new movers as they are beginning to think about where to go for their healthcare needs. Collaborating with Personify Health’s expert team, the health system leveraged Personify Health’s Patient Acquisition and Retention solution to create and deliver a direct mail campaign built upon best practices. 

Three-drop, direct mail campaign

Since August 2017 (paused during March-October 2020 due to the pandemic), this health system worked with Personify Health to develop and deploy a three-drop, direct mail campaign to target the new movers.

The system updated the campaign in September 2022 to include:

•A tri-fold brochure with magnet as Drop 1 welcoming them
to the community

•A postcard as Drop 2 with information on how to find a doctor

•A postcard as Drop 3 that highlighted the health system’s specialty care service lines

Clear and relevant calls-to-action

Each mailer featured relevant calls-to-action to encourage audiences to:

•Visit one of their Urgent Care Centers

•Contact the Call Center to schedule an appointment

•Visit their website to find a doctor

•Bring the postcard into the Health & Wellness Center to get their first month free
