Health & Wellness
performance marketing

From protein drinks to supplements, medical devices to longevity
hacks if you’re looking to increase your sales performance
marketing for your health and wellness products and services,
it takes a special skill set.

Google has different rules in different countries and depending
on the product or service you’re marketing, you’ll also have to take
into consideration things like FDA and CDC rules in the US.

If you have a brand-new product/service to market then customers
even being aware of your product or service as a “thing” can also
impact sales, without the right growth strategy.

We’ve marketed everything from; medical trials for niche cancer treatments, specialist medical devices and supplements from; the UK, EU, US and Australia

What’s more, we’ve won awards for it and helped bring services to market for niche conditions that would never have happened under normal marketing conditions, as the costs would have been too prohibitive to acquire the candidates for trial.

For newer products & services making the leap to Google after hitting a ceiling on social media marketing takes know how, but the dividends can be huge. Eventually you’re just marketing to people you already know on Meta and Instagram, but it’s a great way to get started. 

What most businesses don’t realise is that once a potential customer has identified they’re interested in your product/service, they’ll go back out to Google to see if they can get it at a better price and to see if there’s a competing product which is a better price. But in the meanwhile, Facebook has added this as a conversion so, it can be difficult to get a clear picture of your customer journey. Also, Meta uses the pixel on your website to then flag competing services to your potential customers, so their feed will be full of similar products to view. 

Have you ever clicked on a random ad e.g. for loft insulation, only to find your feed full of ads for providers of loft insulation?
Meta can be a double-edged sword.

A paid search paid social strategy can balance the benefits of both worlds without cannibalising each other and still deliver plenty of growth.

Taking into consideration Googles’ and the regulators rules, Google will give you the increased reach you need to target customers at the root of their search and at point of purchase.   

We’ve worked with fertility medical device manufacturer Ovusense
to successfully expand UK and US territories. A topic as sensitive as marketing fertility and POCOs aids is quite 
challenging and faces a
myriad of restrictions
.
Falling foul of them can see you banned from Google.

If 
you’re selling a product, you may already have been at the mercy
of Google 
PMax and not enjoyed the success you would have liked. 
That’s because it only converts at about 3% which means 97% of the money you’re spending isn’t working. We have a suite of
technology to eradicate the waste in your accounts, which increases
your conversion 
rates and then makes you a more attractive
proposition for 
PMax’s algorithms and Machine Learning.

shakes, to brand marketing campaigns on behalf of the likes of
Lancome,

MLoD service over their Google Shopping it
delivered a
178% increase in sales at a reduction in cost.

For health companies with high value products,
these will generally convert to a sale offline

It’s rare that a customer will make a 4-5 figure purchase without speaking to you directly and this breaks the link between the ad and the final purchase. Then you’re not able to optimise for more of these high intent, high value customers.

Our first party tracking solution and our Smart Scheduling Agent (SSA) bridges this gap and ensures that every sale can be connected back to the source it originated from, so you can acquire more of these customers.  Where Google only tracks a customer for 90 days,
we can track them
for as long as you wish. Ensuring that even if it’s a 2-year journey, we can track and optimise for it 

We’ve worked with American fitness equipment retailer Perform Better,
who also have 
very high value offline conversions for the gym fitout side of their businesswhich can take months to convert
from enquiry to sale
.

We used our offline tracking to expose just how much of their offline sales were coming from Google. We discovered that they have a peak month for high converting leads which originate from a 6 month lead time. None of this is visible in Google, as Google only tracks form fills,
not sales from leads. The following year we were ready for it and
loaded the budget up ready for even more sales in 6 
months’ time

We’ve been able to create a funnel in Google for high intent, high value customers and we’re ready with the budget for peaks that Google can’t anticipate from their data. 
Increase in revenue 69% and 35% increase ROAS, yoy every year since 2023.


“The
Dream Agility team do a great job and deliver great results”.

General Manager, Perform Better
 

For health and wellness companies in a highly competitive market,
it 
doesn’t come more cut throat than Protein Supplements. 
We’ve worked with the Protein Works to deliver high performance,
high return campaigns
 in the UK and EU. 

Inventory feed optimisation and visibility of product availability were
key to be able to maintain increasing sales volumes at target ROAS.
Top performing products disappearing from the inventory feed can
make or break targets. With little visibility of this in
the 
marketing team we were working blind and had to develop a product which alerted us when best sellers were unavailable to implement strategies to pick up the dip with other products.

Product/ingredient knowledge was also key to avoid certain
supplements being banned from Google.
It’s a very competitive,
highly volatile sector and having serious tech to make sure you stay ahead is 
a must.

Just to echo Laura’s words, a massive thank you to all.
I can now sleep soundly again.
