Summary:

Bremo Pharmacy, a local business based in Richmond, Virginia, needed to increase the number of applicants for their in-house Pharmacy Tech classes. Potential students were largely unaware of these educational services.

Challenge:

The existing social media campaigns were not effectively reaching people interested in pursuing pharmacy technician training. Bremo Pharmacy needed a strategy to raise awareness and target the appropriate niche audience.

Strategy:

Ross Media Solutions, in collaboration with the in-house Bremo team, devised a two-pronged approach to address the challenge:

Programmatic Display:

  • Utilized digital display advertising to educate a niche audience about the availability of Pharmacy Tech classes.
  • Geofenced local community colleges and technical training centers to target individuals focused on career development training.

Google AdWords Campaign:

  • Launched a Google AdWords campaign to reach people actively searching for classes in Richmond.
  • Ensured that the ad content emphasized the availability and benefits of Bremo Pharmacy’s Pharmacy Tech classes.

Results:

The implemented strategy led to significant positive outcomes:

Increased Applications and Assessments:

  • Witnessed a substantial increase in the number of applications and assessments for the Pharmacy Tech classes.

Partnership Opportunities:

  • Received outreach from a local community college interested in partnering with Bremo Pharmacy to offer classes.
  • This not only validated the success of the strategy but also opened up wider recruitment avenues.

Halo Effects:

  • The heightened visibility positively impacted the overall business and led to higher online sales of ancillary products and services.

Testimonial:

“I’ve been working with the Ross Media team for a few months, and we’ve had an amazing turnaround!”
