Medical device manufacturers · Email marketing

Tell a distributor about a new certification before a competitor does.

Email campaigns for a medical device manufacturer are targeted messages to hospitals, distributors and past buyers. A new certification announcement or a reminder about an annual maintenance contract renewal is typical. GullySales writes and sends these so important updates reach the right buyer type.

What email marketing means

Email marketing is sending planned messages to a list of past and prospective customers who have agreed to hear from you. It suits offers, updates and staying in touch with someone who is not ready to buy yet. GullySales writes and schedules these emails and tracks who opens, clicks and enquires.

For medical device manufacturers

Where it usually goes wrong, and what we would do.

“Certification news needs to reach distributors fast”
A distributor selling on your behalf needs to know about a new approval or certification immediately, since it directly affects what they can promise a hospital.
“Maintenance contract renewals need a scheduled reminder”
A hospital whose annual maintenance contract is expiring should be reminded well ahead of the date, not after the equipment has gone unserviced.
“Segment hospitals and distributors separately”
A hospital wants clinical and service information, while a distributor wants margin, territory and stock details, and one email to both undersells at least one.

What we do

What we deliver for medical device manufacturers.

Every deliverable, what it covers for you, and the result it is there to produce. Nothing here is an extra.

Certification announcement template
A ready template for announcing a new approval or certification to distributors and hospitals as soon as it is granted.
Result: Distributors learn about a new approval before a competitor mentions it.
Maintenance contract renewal reminders
A scheduled sequence reminding hospitals of an approaching annual maintenance contract renewal, sent well ahead of the date.
Result: A hospital signs the renewal while the old contract is still running.
Separate hospital and distributor mailing lists
Two lists and two message formats, one for clinical and service information, one for margin and territory details.
Result: Each reader gets the information they actually asked for.
Contract renewal reminder emails
A reminder email sequence, written for the contract renewal dates your team holds, ready for you to send ahead of each one.
Result: You are back in the conversation before the renewal date arrives.

What must be in place first

What a medical device maker needs in place before mailing hospitals and distributors.

Separate lists for hospitals and distributors: A biomedical engineer, a procurement head and a distributor want different things. Keep each group on its own list with the role and state beside every name.
Consent from the demonstration or tender file: Under India's data protection law you should be able to show who agreed to be contacted, and for what. Record whether each address came from a demonstration, a tender, a fair or a distributor agreement, with the date.
A sender with registration details in the footer: Mail from a named person at your own domain and show your manufacturing licence or CDSCO registration status as it stands. Hospital purchase committees check this first.
Regulatory claims checked before sending: Every claim about a device, its intended use or its approval must match your registered documents. Have your regulatory person read each mail before it goes out.
Service and recall notices kept apart: Maintenance, calibration and safety notices must keep reaching users even if they opt out of product news. Keep that as a service list with its own footer.
A reply path to someone who can demonstrate: Replies go to a sales engineer who can book a demonstration or share a technical file. A hospital that asks for a demo and hears nothing moves to the next maker.

Not for

It is not the right fit if.

You hold a purchased list of doctors and hospital staff with no record of consent, and a first campaign would risk complaints.
Your certification status is changing and an announcement sent now might need to be withdrawn.
The distributor list is not split from the hospital list, so one message would go to readers it does not suit.

How it works

How the email marketing work runs

The work itself, in order. How an engagement starts, from your brief to a written scope, is set out on our method page.

1
Understand your list
We review who is on the list, how they got there, what they agreed to, and how long since they last heard from you.
2
Audit past sends
We read past campaign reports, your sending domain settings and any spam complaints to see what has and has not worked.
3
Segment and plan
The list is split into groups and a sending calendar is agreed, with a rule for unsubscribes and quiet addresses.
4
Write and set up
Emails are written, checked and scheduled in your email tool. Welcome and nurture emails are set to send on a trigger where that fits.
5
Measure and adjust
We read clicks, replies, enquiries and complaints by segment, and change subject lines, timing and content to match.

Where this fits

Three pieces of sales work, in this order.

This work sits inside sales process design, at stage 1, prospecting and lead generation. The audit comes before it, and sales management keeps it running.

Step 1
Sales audit
Find where deals are being lost and what to fix first.
Start here if you cannot say where orders are lost.
Step 2 · you are here
Sales process design
One written way to sell, from first enquiry to repeat order.
Start here if every salesperson sells differently.
Step 3
Sales management
A target, a review routine and someone who owns the number.
Start here if the team has targets and no routine.

FAQ

Questions owners ask before they call.

Not here? More answers, or ask on WhatsApp.

Tell us what you need

How often should we email hospitals and distributors?

Only when there is a genuine update, such as a certification, a new device or a renewal due, rather than on a fixed newsletter schedule.

Can this help with tender renewals?

Yes, a reminder email ahead of a contract renewal date your team gives us keeps your company in the conversation early.

Can we mail doctors directly about a new device?

Rules on promoting medical devices and on dealing with doctors differ by device class and profession, and change, so check with your regulatory adviser first. Writing to a hospital's biomedical or purchase department about a registered device is the safer route than writing to individual doctors.

Should we send technical files by email or a link?

Send a link to a controlled page or shared folder with the current version. Attached files travel on and get out of date. Say in the mail which version the buyer is reading, and keep the regulatory documents in one place your team updates.

How much does it cost?

There is no price list, because the work differs by business. The fee is scoped after we have read your brief and spoken to you, and put in writing before anything starts, split into our time, your media spend and production.

How long is the contract?

The term is agreed in writing after we have spoken, along with the fee and the reporting. It is never a default twelve months, and renewal is decided on the numbers against the baseline recorded at the start.

How soon will we see results?

It depends on the trade, the channel and what is already in place. After we have read your brief and spoken to you, we say what we would expect to move first and how it will be measured against the baseline. Nothing here is guaranteed.

Who will actually do the work?

The person you speak to before anything starts. We work from one office in Nagarbhavi, Bengaluru, with no account managers in between.

What do you need from us?

Your brief, and a conversation. After that, access to whatever this work touches, such as your website, your accounts or your enquiry record, and time with the people who handle your enquiries.

What if we are not happy with the work?

Tell us and the plan changes. Everything is reported against the baseline, so a number that is not moving is visible to both sides. The term is in your written scope, and the refund and cancellation policy sets out the rest.
