How do IDS programs work?

All are fully managed for you by IDS – our national field team of over 65 trained reps provides controlled brochure distribution to ensure maximum readership of your patient literature in the best possible context.

What does IDS provide?

Guaranteed distribution and display, category exclusivity and unique feedback reports. Programs provide brochure pick-up statistics, with regional breakdowns, on a quarterly basis so you know how many consumers/patients accessed your material.

The WIS program also provides qualitative consumer research reports twice during the year, giving information on who reads your brochure, their opinion of its contents and their behaviour after reading it.

What does IDS deliver?

A measurable ROI on your patient information campaign. Knowing how many direct contacts you've made with your target audience is a strong first step in linking exposure to definable business results.

We can also assist with all stages of your campaign, from design and printing through to analysis of your activity. We also hand-deliver posters or magazines intended for the waiting room, or samples and information packages for the GP’s use. We can reach multicultural markets with your material, or even make personal visits to a specialist audience in support of your sales force. See the Custom Services page for more information.
