EMAIL MARKETING FAQS
Frequently Asked Questions
What makes email marketing particularly effective for reaching HCPs?
Email marketing provides a non-disruptive, on-demand way for busy healthcare professionals to access important information conveniently. It also enables personalized, automated communications that are highly cost-effective, saving time and resources compared to traditional marketing methods.
What segmentation options are available for email targeting?
Key segmentation categories for B2B healthcare marketing include specialty, behaviors (buyer's stage, prescribing behavior), payor and plan relationships, geography (location of practice, regions served), and demographics.
How often should we send marketing emails to HCPs
Generally, B2B marketing emails are best sent monthly, with the option to increase to twice monthly if you have new offers and your audience is receptive. PDQ helps clients determine the ideal frequency through testing and performance analysis to maximize engagement without overwhelming recipients.
What strategies can improve email open rates?
Keep subject lines under 50 characters and preheaders under 40 characters. Subject lines are crucial - nearly half of email recipients open an email based on the subject line alone. A/B testing different subject lines can also help optimize performance.
What metrics should we track to measure email campaign success?
Important Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) include:
- Open Rate
- Click-Through Rate
- Conversion Rate
- Subscribe/Unsubscribe Rate
- Bounce Rate
- Sharing Rate
- Spam Complaint Rate
- ROI

What role should AI play in healthcare email marketing?
