What? A 'generic' website to help raise awareness and educate consumers about constipation

Why? Embarrassment appeared to be a real hurdle in communicating to consumers about constipation. The Internet - by providing a faceless source of comprehensive information - therefore offered the ideal medium for reaching sufferers, who could learn more about the condition (and of course treatment options!) within the privacy of their own home.

How? The site was created to be as informative as possible, while positioning Senokot as the leading authority on constipation by association as opposed to overt branding. Information was included about digestive health in general, supported by animated diagrams and a digestive fitness assessment quiz to help consumers assess their own lifestyle.

Interactive data capture methods were used to enable us to evaluate and evolve campaign and the website was promoted with various online marketing activities:

  • Search Engine Optimisation and Pay Per Click Editorial placement
  • On-line competitions placed on high traffic, 3rd party websites

Results?

  • More than half a million visitors per year
  • Site listed within the top 3 results on any UK search engine - type 'constipation' into any search engine and see for yourself!
But more importantly, 88% of visitors to the site tell us they have been prompted to take action and start treating the condition and 73% said that they would use Senokot as a result.
Research by Forrester shows that effective home pages should abide by three best practices:
  • Favor content and function over decorative graphics or white space
  • Optimize for scanning instead of reading
  • Maintain high data-to-link ratios

Did you know? That the average time spent on a UK website is 4.51 minutes? (hitwise.co.uk)

Did you know? It is estimated that by 2008, over 120 million patients in Europe will be engaging in online healthcare research (Frost & Sullivan).
