Case Study: Healthcare

Case Study

BI stepped in after the original vendor quit the project and the creative solution and successful implementation helped the client far surpass its goals for the product promotion.

Results

  • The program goal was to enroll 8,000 participants; this goal was achieved mid-way through the program.
  • Product A achieved revenue growth of 22%, which was 80% of the gross margin goal.
  • Product B achieved growth of 9%, which was 187% of the gross margin goal.

BI participated in an RFP for this eye care client’s four-month promotion, but was not initially selected as the vendor. A couple of months into the project, the chosen supplier removed itself from the project, and BI was asked to implement the plan in less than one month.

Issues

  • Promote the sale of two specific eye care products with independent eye care dispensers.
  • Heighten the brand of the products to the independent Eye Care Professionals (ECPs).
  • Build and strengthen relationships with the independent labs, opticians, and dispensers.

Solution

  • The ECPs were broken into 10 groups based on their size and revenue with product-specific goals set for each group.
  • The promotion was themed “Imagine Italy” and the top eye care professionals in each group won a six night trip for two to Italy.
  • Achievers in the second tier earned a travel package to Las Vegas.
  • The dispensers were given the opportunity to earn by receiving a game card for every pair of lenses of specific brands sold. This card was entered on a custom Web site. Each code was an entry into a sweepstakes for a trip to Italy.
  • Dispensers also had an opportunity to win Italian-themed merchandise at four different levels.
