19. Sales Material Doctors’ Offices Challenge A familiar healthcare brand wanted to increase trials/sampling into their actual sales. Their strategy consisted of designing a tear-pad/coupon that would fit into the Novartis bins used for sampling in doctor’s offices & pharmacist’s shelves. The coupons would be coded for each of the Lead sales markets, which would allow the effectiveness of the promotion to be tracked by region. Each time one of the medical professionals took a sample from their shelves, they could also grab a coupon to pass along to their patients . Execution Pep kicked off the Brand’s entire promotion project, including design input, timeline & budget management for each piece. Pep helped design a tear pad and shelf talker that would fit in doctors’ crowded samples closets and also serve as an effective promotional tool. Pep bid out all printed pieces, sourced the most economical vendors for printing (etc.), as well as coordinated all vendors/agencies on timing and expectations. Pep generated coupons that were coded for specific Lead markets in order to track redemption by region. Various quantities were shipped directly to the field sales representatives and when the inventory was quickly depleted, Pep set up the re-order space in Healthcare fulfillment house. Result The team successfully produced several thousand tear pads that were used to increase patient awareness and education of the Brand’s product.

Program elements included a webinar sent out via the client, an email invite with preview of data, a micro site login and link to full report and survey.
