How rebuilt email journeys drove 30K+ new customers and $2M in revenue

Building a human-centered email journey that converts healthcare hestiation into action.

overview

This brand had scale, but the patient experience felt fragmented and random. Patients were receiving emails, yet many didn’t feel like they came from the same brand. More importantly, they weren’t helping patients move forward. 

So, we started where timing mattered most: appointment-related emails.

my role

platforms

desktop, mobile, and tablet

Appointment-related emails touch nearly every patient and sit at the most time-sensitive points in the journey. If these moments weren’t clear, consistent, and human, patients were more likely to disengage.


That’s why we started here. We turned transactional, lengthy emails into behavior-triggered lifecycle touchpoints–right message, right time.

problem

Appointment emails were doing their job, but not supporting the decision around care. As a result, key moments were being missed. When we looked closer, most drop-off tied back to three friction points that should’ve been addressed in these emails: 

  • Fear about what would happen next 

  • Time concerns around rescheduling 

  • Money questions left unanswered

why appointment emails were the right place to start

approach

Behavior-triggered touch points:

  1. One clear brand voice across every message

  2. Conversation, quick-to-the-point language

  3. Timing that supports

  4. Content that anticipates questions before they turn into friction

examples of where we started

examples of where we landed

Appointment confirmation and prep: 14-day appointment reminder series

missed appointment winback sequence

post-appointment series, recall series (6/9/12 months)

announcement emails

outcome

rebranded & templatized patient email series
30,000 new customers added monthly YoY
$2M+ in revenue

In addition to these emails, I worked on the broader experience including: a rebranded website showcasing all 24 services, quarterly campaigns and supporting landing pages, educational video scripts, in-office inserts and educational posters. 

From this work, we piloted an online scheduler flow for one of the most common treatments. The beta performed so well that it’s now being rolled out across regions.
