10 Customer Acquisition and Relationship Management
Dmitry Kalinovsky/iStock/Thinkstock
Patronage by loyal customers yields 65 percent of a typical business’ volume.
—American Management Association
Learning Objectives
After reading this chapter, you should be able to do the following:
• Identify how organizational growth is best achieved by an HCO, and state the effect of the product life cycle
on an organization’s revenues.
• Discuss several approaches that an HCO can use to attract new customers, or patients.
• Delineate the premises upon which customer relationship management is based.
• Explain the advantages of database marketing, and identify ways for an organization to use a marketing
database.
• Provide examples of how an HCO can effectively manage real and virtual customer interactions.
Section 10.1Organizational Growth
Introduction
This chapter focuses on how to attract and keep patients through understanding and meeting
their needs. The long-term success of an HCO depends on its ability to attract new patients
and turn them into loyal customers who not only return for needed services, but recommend
the HCO’s services to others. This is especially important because of the nature of the life cycle
for products and services, from their introduction to their decline. Attracting new customers
and keeping existing ones involves interacting internally and externally with patients, analyz-
ing data on current patients, and managing real and virtual interactions with patients. Manag-
ing relationships with patients helps to ensure that patients stay informed and feel connected
to the HCO through its internal and external customer relationship efforts.
10.1 Organizational Growth
Most organizations have growth as a basic goal. Growth means an increase in revenue and
a greater impact on the communities served. Growth also creates opportunities for staff to
advance and take on new responsibilities. While many activities can help an HCO grow, the
most important is the development of an effective marketing plan to provide a consistent
platform for the organization’s visibility and to brand the HCO as an attractive option for
medical services. The development of an effective marketing plan was stressed in Chapter 8
as a basic marketing need for an HCO: that is, to inform new and existing customers of the
organization’s services and to persuade them to continue using or to try using these services.
Product/Service Life Cycles
Like people, products and services have a life cycle. The term product life cycle refers to the
stages that a product or service goes through from the time it is introduced until it is taken
off the market or “dies.” The stages of the product life cycle, illustrated in Figure 10.1, usually
include the following descriptions:
• Introduction—The stage of researching, developing, and launching the product or
service.
• Growth—The stage when revenues are increasing at a fast rate.

BUSI 330Collaborative Marketing Plan Final Draft Instructions.docxrichardnorman90310
BUSI 330
Collaborative Marketing Plan Final Draft Instructions
Include the following in your Group Discussion Board Forum:
1. A report with the final Marketing Plan that includes the three previous drafts, attached as an MS Word file. In addition, this final MP must include the following sections:
· Marketing Programs & Financial Projections.
You should review pp. 54–55 of the text for examples of the key issues that should be discussed within these sections of the MP. You will need a comprehensive marketing program, which includes a discussion of: the Product Strategy, the Pricing Strategy, the Promotion Strategy and the Distribution (channels) Strategy.
The last section on Financial Projections should show a 5-year projection of expected revenues. In addition, you should present some type of idea when BE (break-even) will take place. Companies that introduce new products generally do not make a profit in “year 1” because of the high development and marketing costs required to test and launch the product. Obtaining costs will be difficult, but you should try to estimate costs.
· Executive Summary (ES)
Finally, once the MP is written, you will need to write the Executive Summary. The ES is written last but is placed right after the Table of Contents. You will want the reader to see the ES first. if they like it, they may read on. If it does not excite the reader, the MP will likely be discounted. The ES should contain only the most important findings, conclusions, and recommendations contained within your plan.
· The Table of Contents
The Table of Contents contains a list of the major sections of your marketing plan with the names of the group members that participated in the actual writing of each section. This will allow the instructor to evaluate each member’s contribution to the overall group project.
· Appendices
The only Appendix required is a reference list. Keep in mind that data and key information may need citations, but will surely require a reference list. A plan with no references will be considered marginal since information sources add considerable credibility to the ideas in your plan.
Your Collaborative Marketing Plan Final Draft must be submitted by 11:59 p.m. (ET) on Friday of Module/Week 8.

Company Description
Owens and Minor was established by cofounders Otho O. Owens and G. Gilmer Minor in 1882 to provide healthcare services for the local Richmond community. What started as a drugstore, in a now historic landmark, quickly grew to buy out competitor drugstore Bodeker Drug Company in 1954. With this acquisition, the company briefly changed names to Owens, Minor & Bodeker, commonly known in that day as OMB. In present day Owens and Minor has surpassed any expectations that the origins of the business would ever suggest. Employment numbers sit roughly at about eighteen thousand, while the customer base has reached out as far as ninety different countries. Owens and Minor accomplished consistent business growth by not ever remaining stagnant. An example of this is seen in the company’s change of focus coming in 1999. From the company’s humble beginnings of providing drug products to the community, it developed into more of a business of medical supply chain management. Coming with the business’ rebranding, the company introduced a consulting service, which at that time was innovative for a distribution servicer. The most recent venture of business growth, coming in 2018, was Owen and Minor’s purchase of Halyard Health’s business. Throughout the business’ existence it has remained centered on its customer base. Even present day their company outline states that “We provide sustainable supply chain, product and patient solutions that lower total costs and improve quality of care across the continuum of care.” (Owens & Minor, 2019). Owens and Minor’s business model has always aimed to systematically remove complexity from their services in an attempt to maximize efficiency and cost-effectiveness, allowing the business to grow while continuing their trend of putting customers first. Given the company’s growth patterns, their expansion strategy has been widely successful.
Strategic Focus
The Owens and Minor mission statement is “to serve the healthcare industry with dedication, innovation, and a passion for excellent customer service” (Owens-Minor, 2019). The company started in 1882 during the period when antiseptic surgery was in its infancy stage. What started as a drug store in Richmond, Virginia, has grown to a full line of medical distribution, supply, and inventory management company. Owens and Minor serves drug stores to hospitals, medical transportation, as well as inventory management solutions for various supply chains. Ultimately the end user of their products would be anyone seeking healing or in need of medical attention or medical supplies.
They hosted the first healthcare supplier symposium giving way to diversity and innovation in the medical supplier field. Their vision is one that pairs quality and value in the medical field, “we see a ...

I have often been asked - what do qualitative researcher actually do?
It is a confusing profession to explain to people. As a result the profession swings from being a poor cousin of quantitative research to being a distant cousin of something to do with media. But none of these really explain what we really do.

price and product quality), as well as assessing competitive and market conditions
(i.e., industry structure in the language of economics).

5 Things You Need To Know Before Hiring a Videographer
Hospital Marketing - Messaging Trends- new era of branding and marketing activities from hospitals
1. Hospital Marketing
“In India, the hospital services industry is
expected to be worth US$ 81.2 billion by
2015. The Indian hospital services sector
generated revenue of over US$ 45 billion
in 2012.
This revenue is expected to increase at a
compound annual growth rate (CAGR)
of 20 per cent during 2012-2017,
according to a RNCOS report titled,
„Indian Medical Device Market Outlook

2. Hospital Marketing
Medical marketing is a broad term and encompasses a lot of
themes. It could refer to the marketing of
Drugs
Hospitals
Allied
patient care
services
Equipment
Diagnostic
services
A closer look at the medical market in India shows that
hospitals are the fastest growing vertical of this industry.

3. Hospital Marketing
A number of factors are contributing to the growth of
hospitals per se.
Increase in life
expectancy
Increasing
affordability - more so
in urban areas
Advent of medical
tourism
Rise in health insurance
penetration numbers
especially among the
urban denizens and
increased patient
awareness and demand
for better services

4. Hospital Marketing
One can expect a lot more players in the hospital space within
the
medical
market.
Emergence
of
medical
marketing
consultants, MBA courses in hospital management, the
beginning of regular advertising campaigns are all heralding a
new era of branding and marketing activities from the
hospitals themselves. In this article we aim to explore some of
the ‘claims, RTBs (reasons to believe) that hospitals are using
in their adverts to market themselves.

1. We have the STAR DOCTOR
Hospitals
are
aggressively
marketing
either
individual
Doctors or a team of Doctors
they
have
to
service
their
patients. The ads within this
theme
focus
on
the
achievements of the doctor
and his team and we find
words like pioneer, leading,
best etc. used to cue a sense
of better than the rest.

2. We have the STAR TEAM
We find that in such advertising
not only is the doctor's lab coat
leveraged but also specific cues
that tell us these are surgeons are
shown. So typically you will find
the team wearing blue, green
colour surgical attires along with the appropriate head gear.
Showcasing a team of doctors dedicated to particular illness lends a
feeling of professionalism to the
hospital. The team dressed in a
uniform and with smiles in an ad
gives a feeling of ‘working towards
a goal’. It helps create a sense of
credibility for the hospital. In the
medical field nothing works more than the name of the doctor!

3. Consistent Excellence Over Time
Another claim that we find in this sector is one that focuses on
consistent excellence over time. It helps separate the men from the
boys. It cues that everybody can be good but only some great brands
stay at the top and offer the best in class services consistently In the ad
below we see Apollo Hospitals focusing on ‘11 years of excellence’ to
drive home the above point.
Page 7 of 17
8. Hospital Marketing
At times we also see a more in your face version of the consistence
excellence over time claim as shown in the advertisement below. Here a
specialist facility from Fortis highlights their track record of successful
deliveries and procedures and also shows the efficiencies of the NICU
via a numeric cue.

3A. Best in class service everywhere
A variant of the consistent excellence over time is the claim consistent
best service everywhere as shown in the above advertisement for Apollo
Emergency Services

4. Acrredited by the best/most relevant body
Any accreditation means delivery of a certain value for the patients.
Moreover these accreditations increase the credibility of the hospital.
It is believed that in this sector accreditation over time leads to four
types of impacts. They are
1. Change of practice
2. Impact on health care outcomes
3. Organisational and managerial change
4. Impact on patient satisfaction
Here are two examples of brands leveraging accreditation in their
communication material.

5. Packages and Gifts
Till recently the term “packages & gifts” was something we equated
with the hospitality industry and not with hospital services. However off
late things are changing.
A lot of super speciality hospitals now offer a 2 day – 3 night stay at the
hospital at a fixed rate for regular surgeries such as gall bladder
removal, hernia etc.
Hinduja Hospital for example mentions 1 day packages for diagnostic
services.
Page 11 of 17
12. Hospital Marketing
La Femme talks about special ante natal and birthing packages in their
communication.
Page 12 of 17
13. Hospital Marketing
These packages are further classified according to the affordability of
the patient. This strategy has also helped hospitals increase their
business through the rural belts in India and to cash in on international
patients and has led to the explosion of the medical tourism
phenomenon

6. Pioneers
The pioneer - ship claim ensures that the hospital brand is seen as
innovative and leading edge in terms of latest of technical knowhow.
Over time it ensure greater credibility, trust and market value for the
brand
Page 14 of 17
15. Hospital Marketing
Though we find many instances of using some RTB, claim in hospital
advertisements what is still missing is clear cut brand positioning cues.
Thus communications cues are still very product/ service centric and not
yet brand centric. Thus we can say that we are in the stage 2 of the
evolution of brand model where the brand acts as a reference:
According to the
http://www.onlineresearchjournals.com/ajbe/art/59.pdf- “In this stage
the goal of marketers and brand managers is to position the brand as
having unique functional benefits distinctive name so as to differentiate
it from other brands. In doing so the brand can be protected through
trade mark registration, giving it a legal protection against imitators and
denoting the source of ownership. In the early stages of the product life
Page 15 of 17
16. Hospital Marketing
cycle, the brand is differentiated on various attributes in order to get the
competitive advantage so as to have the brand preference by the
consumers over the competitors.
Differentiation is achieved by emphasizing on the product attributes
continuously as in the initial stages consumers are still in the process of
learning about the Brand. Identification requires only that the consumer
be aware of the brand name; differentiation requires more of the
consumer, i.e. they require some knowledge about the product. The first
type of knowledge that consumers might want is product-related
information such as superiority of product attributes or quality. These
networks are mostly categorical in nature in that they differentiate
brands primarily on physical attributes.
This process is described by Keller (1993) who conceptualizes brand
knowledge as having two components: brand awareness and brand
image. Awareness consists of brand recall and recognition. The first
component of brand knowledge is types of brand associations which
consist of attributes, benefits and attitudes. In this stage, the consumer
Page 16 of 17
17. Hospital Marketing
learns about the attributes, some of the benefits and begins to form
attitudes. The consumer may also form a few favourable and some
unique associations with the brand.
In summary, in stage 2, most marketing effort concentrates on
developing and enhancing functional characteristics of the brand and
communicating these to consumers. This, in turn, enables consumers to
identify and distinguish the brand from the competition and also acts as
a guarantee of consistent quality. Thus, marketers are engaging in a
brand positioning process which builds perception of the brand vis-àvis competitive Brands”
Typically it is in the next stage that we see the emotional and imagery
cues coming in and thus dialling up the role of intangibles. So in the
coming days we can expect to see the branding wars in the hospital
sector heating up.!
