When it comes to healthcare, every journey is unique. You can no longer adopt a one-size-fits-all approach. That’s why personalisation plays such a vital role in delivering effective care and improving patient outcomes. Healthcare decisions are deeply personal, from the way you receive appointment reminders to how treatment recommendations and plans are communicated. Naturally, patients expect their healthcare experience to align with that.

Through personalisation, healthcare providers can significantly improve patient engagement by tailoring each touchpoint to individual needs, preferences, and circumstances. This approach creates more meaningful connections that lead to sustained, trusted relationships. According to a McKinsey report, 71% of consumers expect companies to deliver personalised interactions and 76% get frustrated when this doesn’t happen.

Key Pain Points and How We Solve Them

Establishing Trust and Recognition

Before implementing personalisation strategies, it’s essential that your brand clearly reflects your mission and values. In a healthcare environment where patient trust is crucial, your brand serves as the foundation for every interaction and experience. In fact, a recent report found that 71% of consumers are more likely to buy from a brand they trust.

A comprehensive brand audit evaluates how your brand positioning resonates with patient expectations and differentiates you in a sector where patients have more healthcare choices than ever before. 

This strategic assessment examines your visual identity, digital presence, and communication approach to identify opportunities for creating deeper patient connections.

Strengthening Patient Relationships

Meaningful patient relationships start with clear, engaging communication. Personalised video helps healthcare providers connect on a deeper level, making complex information more accessible and compelling. Whether delivering health reports, care updates, or wellness reminders, video enables providers to share personalised information at scale—while preserving the human touch essential to healthcare.

The power of this personal approach is clear – our clients achieve 75% increase in engagement rates with personalised video, turning routine communications into meaningful moments of connection.

Why not try it for yourself? Create your very own personalised video.

Improving Acquisition, Recall & Reducing Admin

Healthcare providers can transform appointment management, patient recall, and administrative tasks with automation. Automated journey planning enhances patient relationships while reducing inefficiencies and freeing up valuable resources needed in this sector specifically.

One leading healthcare provider used our automation platform to shift from postal to digital-first communications, leveraging patient data to deliver timely, relevant messaging. This approach achieved a 68% reduction in print costs, while personalised content drove email open rates to 60% – a 76% increase above industry average. An improved digital appointment scheduling experience also significantly reduced inbound administrative requests, allowing for resources to be used on other necessary tasks.

In 2025, print continues to hold its own as a powerful marketing channel, particularly when integrated with emerging technologies to match modern consumer expectations. Here are five key print marketing trends shaping 2025:

1. The Power of Direct Mail

It’s time to dispel the myth that mail marketing is on its way out. In a world saturated with digital noise, direct mail holds a unique power that digital media struggles to replicate. Physical mail creates a tangible, memorable, and long-lasting impact. When paired with personalisation, it becomes even more effective at capturing the attention of recipients and driving action.

Why it matters:

2. Personalisation at Scale

Personalisation is no longer confined to digital channels; print marketing has embraced it as well. Advancements in print technology make personalisation at scale both practical and impactful, allowing marketers to connect with their audience on a more meaningful level.

With 71% of consumers expecting personalisation in 2025 and 76% expressing frustration when brands don’t deliver, personalising mail campaigns is no longer optional but essential.

Key opportunities:

3. Sustainable Materials

Sustainability remains a top priority for consumers in 2025, and print marketing is adapting by incorporating eco-friendly practices. Brands are increasingly turning to recycled paper, soy-based inks, and sustainable packaging materials to meet consumer expectations.

Emerging trends:

4. Interactive Print

Interactive print merges traditional print with cutting-edge technology to create engaging experiences. QR codes, augmented reality (AR), and near-field communication (NFC) are just a few tools being used to bridge the gap between print and digital.

What it enables:

5. Integration of Print and Digital Marketing

2025 is the year of seamless integration between print and digital marketing. By combining the best of both worlds with physical and on-screen messaging, brands can create cohesive campaigns that amplify their message and enhance customer engagement.

How it works:

Closing Thoughts

Print marketing in 2025 is more innovative, personalised, and impactful than ever before. By embracing these trends, businesses can stand out to deliver memorable experiences that resonate with their audience.

Over the past four decades, MBA Group has undergone a remarkable transformation. Once a print solutions provider, we’ve evolved into a dynamic, multi-channel marketing powerhouse. Our services now span digital communications, personalised video, digital contact centres, and creative brand strategy. Why the shift? Because our clients – like you – demand targeted, seamless marketing experiences that truly resonate.

Our extensive experience equips us to provide peace of mind, helping organisations unlock the full potential of their data while adhering to stringent security and compliance standards. We believe that maintaining client trust is not just a goal; it’s a necessity.

So, what are our key competencies in Smart Data?

1. Security at the Core

In today’s digital landscape, data security is the bedrock of customer trust. Imagine a fortress built to protect your most valuable assets – that’s what we’ve created at MBA Group. We’ve designed our infrastructure with the financial sector’s stringent requirements in mind, incorporating multi-layered protection that exceeds regulatory standards like the DISD Bill.

Our ISO 27001 certification is more than just a badge: it’s a commitment to safeguarding sensitive data. By implementing rigorous risk assessments and controls, we proactively address potential security threats. This means that as data sharing increases, you can rest easy knowing we’re on guard, reducing the likelihood of breaches and unauthorised access.

2. Infrastructure Flexibility

Now, imagine having the flexibility to tailor your hardware and software to meet your specific business needs without relying on third-party providers. That’s the power of Hewlett-Packard’s managed on-premises data centres. By keeping sensitive customer data and marketing analytics within our systems, we minimise the risk of unauthorised access and ensure compliance with internal security protocols.

This local control also means reduced latency and bandwidth issues, which are critical for personalised marketing communications that depend on timely data processing. With direct management of our data centres, we can respond swiftly to any security or operational challenges.

3. Comprehensive Cybersecurity Solutions

Incorporating Grant Thornton’s SOC services and a cybersecurity-serviced infrastructure gives us significant advantages. Think enhanced trust, regulatory compliance, efficient risk management, and streamlined auditing. These aren’t just buzzwords – they’re essential elements that give us a competitive edge.

And let’s not overlook CrowdStrike’s cybersecurity software. With advanced threat detection and proactive threat hunting, we ensure your information security infrastructure is top-notch, allowing you to focus on what matters most: serving your customers.

4. Unleashing the Power of Smart Data

Our proprietary platform is a game-changer for financial marketers. By integrating diverse data streams and employing advanced analytics, we empower you to create highly targeted, personalised campaigns that resonate with your audience.

Our secure API integrations allow financial institutions to safely connect with various data sources and third-party services, expanding their capabilities without compromising data integrity.
