Building an opted-in HCP database and attracting HCPs to sign up to microsites is an ongoing challenge for pharmaceutical companies. This campaign illustrates the cost effectiveness of digital engagement solutions such as Access.PLUS to successfully drive APHRA-verified HCP sign-ups.
Key Successes
- 1,270 page views over a 8-week campaign
- 187 requests to register with a $50 cost per acquisition (CPA)
- Combined 8 hours spent viewing written content
- Always-on campaign engaged doctors when it suited them, with 57% viewing content outside of traditional working hours
- Strong nationwide reach with 22% of engagement from regional areas
The Problem to Solve
The client’s internationally respected microsite was designed by doctors for doctors. It enables GPs to connect with company experts, access patient support material and order treatment starter packs at a time and place that suits them.
The challenge is that doctors seldom find pharmaceutical company microsites on their own and are unlikely to sign up and consent to messaging without a targeted engagement campaign and compelling call to action.
The Solution
The ADG team worked closely with the client to design a campaign that achieved a high level of targeted engagement, a solid ROI and test-and-learn insights about the most effective executions. The following four Access.PLUS pages were developed, each with a single clear message and promoted to doctors via eNewsletter placements, delivering a conversion rate of up to 25%.
- Order Page: Enjoy the ease of ordering starter packs online
- Support page: Let us help you the way you help your patients
- Expert Page: You’ve got questions. We’ve got answers
- Brand Page: One Simple tool to help transform your daily practice
The Results
The campaign results reinforce that digital channels, such as Access. PLUS, eNewletters and web distribution across AusDoc, are cost-effective solutions for promoting sign-ups to pharmaceutical company microsites.
A standout feature of the campaign was 187 APHRA-verified requests to register at a cost of $50 each. In addition, the campaign showed that a conversion rate of above 20% is achievable if valuable content is being provided and supported by a test-and-learn approach to hone messaging to audience interests.
The fact that 57% of engagement was outside of usual office hours and 22% was from outside metropolitan areas shows the ability of digital campaigns to reach HCPs at a time that suits them and a place that isn’t always economically accessible by a pharma field force.
