Driving Repeat Pet Healthcare Engagement with Smart Reminder Prioritization
How a Pet Healthcare Platform Boosted Repeat Appointments and Treatment Compliance through Targeted Follow-Up
The Challenge: Unstructured Reminders Leading to Lost Conversions
In the rapidly growing pet healthcare industry, customer retention is as vital as acquisition. The platform generated dozens of reminders for future visits after each pet's OPD appointment. But with no prioritization, the BD team was overwhelmed, resulting in poor conversion rates and missed opportunities.
​
Key issues:
​
-
All reminders treated equally, diluting focus on urgent care
-
Inefficient BD team efforts not aligned to impact
-
Missed timelines reduced likelihood of follow-ups
-
High volume of reminders becoming unmanageable
​​
The Turning Point: Prioritized Reminder Follow-Ups
We implemented a simple prioritization framework based on urgency and turnaround time (TAT), enabling the BD team of 50 to focus on what mattered most:
-
P0 (Critical, TAT < 7 days): Chemo, post-surgery, injections, critical diagnostics, medication adherence, and emergency conditions. Immediate follow-up ensured bookings within clinical windows.
-
P1 (Important, TAT < 7 days): Vaccinations, deworming, annual check-ups. Follow-ups targeted to boost preventive care.
-
P2 (Routine, TAT > 7 days): Dental, grooming-related visits, weight management, mild condition monitoring. Managed with less urgency.
This prioritisation effectively balanced BD capacity and improved response rate to reminders with the highest impact.
