We have over 20 years’ experience in clinical trial recruitment and one of our most cost-effective routes to market is digital advertising.
Below are some insights in to what digital advertising can do for you.
- Spend time on your plan before spending on clinical trial advertising. Be mindful of the regulatory considerations, a comprehensive marketing plan, with defined goals, strategies, tactics and budget. This will preserve time, effort and lean resources
- Most audience sectors are actively involved with the use of social media platforms. These include Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn and many others. The Internet has come a long way in the past 10-15 years and advertisements are now frequently posted online or social media so this can be constantly shared and will never disappear from the Internet. Look at introducing a social media platform in your company or look at how you can update your own with fresh ideas and remember your focus is your audience.
- Mobile phones are ubiquitous, and smartphone are clearly mainstream. Smartphones are essentially a computer in the patient’s pocket, with the advantages of being direct, immediate and personal. Smartphones, tablets and condition-specific apps can benefit clinical trial recruitment, participation/retention and engagement as people feel this is an easier way to find out information.
- A primary factor in successful retention is to involve patients as partners in the study. This requires a practical and deliberate system that builds patient relationship, engages and involves participants as individuals and as members of a community at every point of contact. This may also require organisational staff exercise, as well as frequent between-visit communications, active social media use, enlightening newsletters, a Q&A channel and other system tools keep patients attracted, connected and involved.
