Set
up of the operation :
The purpose was to develop a relational approach with each physician. To do this, we sent a message relying on a relevant personalization of the information available in the database, progressively enhanced the data by taking into consideration his/her reactions to the received mailings. Finally, we separated those who were non-responsive to the communications.
Personalization
:
In this document, the testimonial of a colleague was personalized according to the physician’s region and city. The physician’s sex, age, and name and address allowed us to personalize the visual and editorial content in order to create a relationship and sense of proximity with the physicians.
Results
:
Physicians showed a marked interest in the mailing: the relational approach and personalized advice were very well received. The response rates were significantly higher than recorded in previous campaigns.
