Center for Diabetes Care Marketing Strategy and Tactics

Marketing Strategy:

The strategy is to promote awareness within the target market.

Marketing Budget:

The steering committee anticipates that the marketing budget will be in the range of $40,000. The team will have to be creative to accomplish its goals on this budget.

Target Market:

There are two groups that the marketing must reach. The first group is healthcare providers in the community who will refer patients to the Center for Diabetes Care. The second is the Hispanic population, 65 years of age or older, in Lowertown diagnosed with Type II diabetes and their primary caregivers.

Marketing Tactics:

For healthcare providers:

Host a lunch for key general practitioners and specialists at Bobby Fly’s (local celebrity chef) restaurant. He will serve a healthy Mexican lunch while Dr. Novak explains the program.

Deliver the Center for Diabetes Care brochures to the staff of general practitioners and specialists likely to refer patients.

For diabetes patients and their families:

Host ribbon cutting by Rosa Sanchez, State Senator, followed by press release and news stories in local papers.

Arrange a lunch hosted by Rosa Sanchez for church leaders and other key influencers.

Conduct radio spots on Spanish language radio.

Target online ads to primary caregivers.

Print ads in local Spanish paper.
