With Intellectual Curiosity our North Star, last week showed

January’s Vision Loss postcard and here’s our entire collection:

How does it work? We make it as easy as 1-2-3.

  • Share your logo and, if you would like to feature them, provider pictures
  • Provide desired phone number and website contact information
  • We promptly create customized drafts for your review and feedback
  • Designs are finalized to your specification
  • At baseline, we learn from detailed discussions about your past mailings to fine-tune “Outsmart, Don’t Outspend” decision-making.
  • Contact selections are based on key attributes including prior purchases, diagnostic testing, warranty status, referral sources and demonstrated advocacy. 
  • To “connect the dots” with educational relevance, if patients’ comorbidity factors are accessible, we can deftly inform with diabetes or heart disease information to those with related medical conditions.

Many wonder how time-consuming it will be to manage “Educate Well Monthly” mailings. As a value-added service, we handle stamping and mailing. For all who have aspired to taking this initiative for years, but felt they didn’t have the time, our turnkey solution is a pleasant (and empowering) surprise.


While designs are completed, we…

  • You share contact list, which we maintain in strict confidence
  • We stamp and mail, yes, actual stamps with more professional impressions

Last week’s volume envisioned expanding your Total Addressable Market (TAM):

“Intended recipients are healthcare providers who:


  1. Currently refer to your Practice
  2. You DO treat x# of their patients and have established a professional connection, but they don’t refer (yet…)
  3. Treat patients who have hearing loss-related comorbidities

“To Start Smart, ensure data accuracy and evaluate trends. While some Practices routinely gather high-quality information from their OMS, others see room for improvement. Together, we methodically:


  • Increase list quantity by identifying and nurturing new referral sources.
  • Upgrade list quality via verification measures.”

Quantitative & Qualitative, Pick 2.

Although database management typically focuses on patient information, there is vast upside potential to expand and finesse your physician referral database. To amplify your impact via medical networking, diligently refining your targeting list is Doctors’ Orders.


Once your targeted mail campaigns’ data-driven results are analyzed, we mutually determine how to “diagnose and treat” going forward planning details. Utilize our Core + Flex concept whereby on a monthly basis, your recipient list is fine-tuned.


For example, say that 125 postcards are mailed monthly.

✔️ 100 are to Core allies who are consistently communicated with each of 12 months.

✔️ 25 are Flex prospects who relate to each month’s specific topic such as…


Optometrists and Ophthalmologists during January’s Vision Loss or Cardiologists during February’s Heart Disease campaigns.
