A Healthy Launch

To learn which breakthrough treatment turned to a wide variety of segments across AARP.org to trumpet its life-changing launch into the healthcare marketplace … contact us.

With a need to build awareness as a newly FDA-approved product, and to educate in a niche market, a pharmaceutical giant turned to both a broad range of suitable sections and newsletter placements for high impact impressions.  With resulting click-thru rates of nearly twice category standard, and a free trial offer that put the product in hand while collecting crucial contact data, the client made an additional advertising commitment within days.

To See Success

While the company is a household name, introducing new products in their category is often a tough exercise.  So with their sights set on Boomers, the executions were constructed with age-appropriate testimonials, and offered multiple trial-based offers.  And where did it lead?  To an astounding ROI, and an advertising commitment that has tripled in the last two years.

And remember, this isn’t just about healthcare; this is about proven audience reaction from a trusted source, AARP Media Sales.

In just eight months, they used our media properties to reach a new audience and successfully connected with more than 2 million members. A simple incentive created new customers and encouraged a flurry of repeat visitors to the restaurants.

Most importantly, redemptions increased week by week. To put it mildly, the results blew away their projections. It was about traffic in a new daypart. It was about outmaneuvering the competition. And in the end, it was about ringing the register.

After conducting an analysis of their standard creative campaign approach, AARP`s integrated marketing group worked hand in hand with the client to optimize their banners for our audience through a series of tests and download format changes.

While many of our clients prefer to test before they move their budgets significantly into digital, all the research indicates that digital spending is growing across all demographic segments including 50+ consumers.

Historically, with their unprecedented size and purchase power, Boomers have created or transformed industries ranging from toys and television to cars and credit cards and their emerging impact on digital looks to be no different.

While advertising and marketing to Boomers is across search, display, content distribution, and especially earned media, through the use of social platforms, those that leverage digital’s addressable and customizable capabilities to provide Boomers with a more personalized experience, will be sure to win a bigger piece of the pie.
