Marketing Strategies: Marketing Mix and Cause Related Marketing

Marketing Strategies
Marketing Mix
§  The product should be a unique collection of Duke specific information that is intended for the better health of the community. The product will be sent out via email to subscribers only.
§  The Newsletter should be at no cost to the patients since it is meant for promotional purposes and consumer expansion.
§  Places the newsletter should be accessible to the subscriber include: Website (only with login), and email. It should be distributed every other Monday at 9:00 am.
§  Once a month there should be a promotion deal that could range anywhere from coupons for local businesses to vouchers for free Duke Raleigh Hospital brand merchandise. Promotion could also be used as incentive to refer the newsletter to others in efforts to raise awareness and reach 1000 subscribers by September 2013.

Cause-Related Marketing

Cause-related marketing is a technique Duke could use to link services it provides to its patients and social causes they support. Including 1 interesting fact or statement in the E-newsletter regarding patient relatable charities followed by a lead to the story behind the statement could spark interest in readers to subscribe to the magazine or seek out other informational media sources that Duke provides. Addressing this in the E-newsletter will pull in the compassion and interest of patients. By showing that Duke is willing to give, further enables patients to put their trust in Duke for all their families’ medical needs.
