The problem this solves
What happens without this campaign
New OTC category entrants face high trial hesitation
Consumers are cautious about unfamiliar health products. A welcome reward reduces the barrier to first purchase.
Pharmacist recommendation is the primary decision driver
The first time a consumer buys your OTC product is usually pharmacist-influenced. A reward reinforces the right choice.
No post-purchase follow-up mechanism
After a first OTC purchase, the consumer disappears. A reward creates a registration moment and follow-up channel.
