Simple ways to increase your marketing open rate

The pharmaceutical industry has undergone a massive transformation in recent years. The impact of digitalization on the way companies communicate with their customers is clearly noticeable. Nowadays, communication is no longer limited to sending messages - it's about providing customers with an experience. Statistics show that the most common way of communication is still email, even though the average email open rate is only about 19%. While the pharmaceutical market is changing rapidly, companies should focus on building an innovative service for their customers based on different channels.

How to empower communication?

The key to success in communication lies in personalization and automation [source]

Nevertheless, representatives have an important role to play in the communication between companies and customers.

Reps can be effective messengers for digital messages. Physicians are far more likely to open an email that comes directly from their pharmaceutical rep (35% open such correspondence) than if it comes from the manufacturer (3%). [source]

But the email channel is becoming less effective by the day. Not only is it confusing, but it doesn't provide a way to have a digital dialog between a company and its customers.

While companies are struggling to segment their customers and target their communications, the real challenge is to engage with customers so that the company learns what they really need. So here's the question...

Has your company already leveraged other communication channels and increased the open rate of its messages by up to 55%?

There's a digital race going on among the largest pharmaceutical companies. In the age of online marketing, companies need to focus on unique solutions that combine rich visual effects, true personalization, and automation, and allow building a relationship with the customer. All this enables them to create a customer-centric service. An example of such a solution is Highp - a modern omnichannel tool for marketing and sales teams.

With Highp, your company sends messages via emails and text messages. The SMS channel is less cluttered. Also, SMS messages are more personal than emails, so recipients open them more often [source].
