What is a case study?
B2b communications tool for sales and marketing
success.
A
case study is basically a customer testimonial for your
company’s products and services. It’s a highly-readable,
roughly two-page account of one of your customer’s positive
experiences with your company’s products and/or services.
Healthcare case studies highlight products and services
that are being marketed to the healthcare industry.
Case
studies may also be called customer success stories. They
are used in a company’s business-to-business (b2b) marketing
efforts to highlight specific products and services, to
generate leads and close sales. For example, a healthcare
data solutions company might publish a case study featuring
a hospital which chose to use their company’s services—and
how satisfied the hospital was with the result.
Case
studies include direct quotes from customers, first-hand
details about the customer’s challenges and needs, why
they chose your company, how your products or services
helped solve their problems, and the benefits they’ve
incurred from using your company, including specific return-on-investment
information.
Case
studies make an extremely versatile b2b marketing tool.
When done correctly, they capture the most effective aspects
of your customers’ experiences and tell a narrative story
your prospects will want to read.
Effective
case studies are potent, powerful, and engaging. They
help create confidence in your company, and compel your
customers to act.
Use
case studies to:
- Introduce new products or services
- Showcase a new or niche use for existing products
or services
- Highlight a specific feature or add-on product
- Show how a well-known company successfully uses your
products or services
- Let prospects know you care about your customers’
successes
Case study writing. Before
writing a case study, you or the person you hire must
perform preliminary market research. That includes identifying
the target audience, as well as your company’s marketing
objectives and collateral. Writers then interview those
customers who’ll be featured in the case study.
These
interviewers ask targeted, strategic questions to elicit
effecting details that illuminate the unique benefits
of your services, and that prospects will find compelling.
Case study writers also conduct in-depth interviews
with key company executives, and sales and marketing
personnel.
