OVERVIEW

REPORT

n OVERVIEW
For suppliers who want to develop a thoughtful social media and email
marketing strategy, Digital Marketing to Life Scientists: Social Media and
Email Best Practices provides a tactical guide for harnessing the power of the
Internet to reach out to customers in a meaningful way. The report identifies
where (and how) scientists spend their time on social media platforms and
how they rely on email outreach to inform the buying decision. Rather than
trial and error (and hoping for the best), vendors can use this primary research
to structure their online outreach in a way that inspires scientists to subscribe,
read and click through.

Invest in the most direct source of information from the
scientists who buy your products and the expert team
that has been monitoring your customers since 1994.

OVERVIEW

Digital Marketing to Life Scientists: Social Media and Email Best Practices
BUY THE
REPORT

n Overview (continued)
What does make a scientist click through, and what makes him or her
hit delete? When are your customers most receptive to receiving emails
from you? How does a supplier become a trusted voice in the social
media conversation? Do banner ads work on social sites? Do scientists
find science-specific social sites to be more credible/useful? This report
explores these questions and more. Additionally, scientists weigh in on
which vendors have gotten the dialog just right—and which ones haven’t.
Done right, digital marketing is an exciting and cost-effective way to
positively impact revenues. Conversely, a heavy price can be paid for
missing the mark. Blacklisted by research institutions or companies,
added to do-not-send lists, reported as spam, blocked from forums,
and losing sales due to an unclear call-to-action, a failed campaign can
undermine the entire marketing effort.

  • 8. OVERVIEW Digital Marketing to Life Scientists: Social Media and Email Best Practices BUY THE REPORT n OVERVIEW For suppliers who want to develop a thoughtful social media and email marketing strategy, Digital Marketing to Life Scientists: Social Media and Email Best Practices provides a tactical guide for harnessing the power of the Internet to reach out to customers in a meaningful way. The report identifies where (and how) scientists spend their time on social media platforms and how they rely on email outreach to inform the buying decision. Rather than trial and error (and hoping for the best), vendors can use this primary research to structure their online outreach in a way that inspires scientists to subscribe, read and click through. Invest in the most direct source of information from the scientists who buy your products and the expert team that has been monitoring your customers since 1994. ©2013 BioInformatics LLC www.gene2drug.com 8 @2013 BioInformatics, LLC n www.gene2drug.com n Report #13-005
  • 9. OVERVIEW Digital Marketing to Life Scientists: Social Media and Email Best Practices BUY THE REPORT n Overview (continued) What does make a scientist click through, and what makes him or her hit delete? When are your customers most receptive to receiving emails from you? How does a supplier become a trusted voice in the social media conversation? Do banner ads work on social sites? Do scientists find science-specific social sites to be more credible/useful? This report explores these questions and more. Additionally, scientists weigh in on which vendors have gotten the dialog just right—and which ones haven’t. Done right, digital marketing is an exciting and cost-effective way to positively impact revenues. Conversely, a heavy price can be paid for missing the mark. Blacklisted by research institutions or companies, added to do-not-send lists, reported as spam, blocked from forums, and losing sales due to an unclear call-to-action, a failed campaign can undermine the entire marketing effort. ©2013 BioInformatics LLC www.gene2drug.com 9 @2013 BioInformatics, LLC n www.gene2drug.com n Report #13-005
  • 10. OVERVIEW Digital Marketing to Life Scientists: Social Media and Email Best Practices BUY THE REPORT n Overview (continued) This study will help suppliers understand the nature of their online relationships with researchers—what engenders customers to a brand and what gets ignored, complained about or dragged into junk. For suppliers who want to master the online conversation, Digital Marketing to Life Scientists: Social Media and Email Best Practices provides data-driven best practices to help optimize electronic marketing platforms in such a way that builds relationship, inspires loyalty and calls a scientist to action.
