Email remains one of the most effective ways to stay connected with patients. While social media grabs attention, email builds long-term relationships. A regular newsletter or seasonal campaign can remind patients to book check-ups, promote new services, and share important health information.
For healthcare providers, however, email marketing is not as simple as sending updates. Communications must respect patient privacy, avoid unsubstantiated claims, and comply with ASA advertising standards, HDC guidelines, and the NZ Privacy Act. Mishandled campaigns can quickly erode trust or lead to regulatory issues.
