Dr. Matt Boswell
Optometrist

Overview

Andover Family Optometry, located in Andover, Kansas, has been helping families see better since 1994. As the leading eye care provider for individuals of all ages in the area, Andover Family Optometry offers comprehensive eye exams, diagnosis, and treatment for a wide range of conditions, placing their unwavering commitment and care for the community at the heart of their services.

This case study analyzes Andover Family Optometry’s latest Every Door Direct Mail® campaign across six locations.

The Challenge

Dr. Matt Boswell, a 5th generation Kansan and former patient at Andover Family Optometry, returned to his hometown of Andover, this time stepping into the role of the optometrist. 

Returning to his roots, Dr. Boswell faced the challenge of re-establishing his presence and announcing his professional comeback to a community close to his heart. 

Andover sought to develop a marketing strategy that would not only inform the local community of Dr. Boswell’s return and the comprehensive care they provide, but also establish a personal connection with community members, who highly value trust and relationships when choosing a medical provider.
Main Marketing Objectives: 

  • Increase patient acquisition
  • Generate more leads 
  • Enhance brand awareness

 

The Solution & Campaign

In collaboration with Taradel, Andover Family Optometry devised a multichannel marketing strategy that targeted geographic location and demographic selections. This approach aimed to resonate with the local community by sharing Dr. Boswell's story of returning home to practice optometry. The campaign utilized direct mail and targeted email marketing to create a dual-channel impact, ensuring that each prospective patient received a consistent and compelling message about the quality and care offered at Andover Family Optometry.
This comprehensive campaign spanned across (50) postal carrier routes in the following market areas:

  • WICHITA, KS
  • ANDOVER, KS
