About the client

Cara Plasma

Cara Plasma is a blood plasma collection center used to produce vital medicines. The main problem is the global shortage of plasma, which centers like Cara Plasma aim to address.

Annual company turnover: CZK 100–200 million

Cara Plasma faces
several challenges

1.

Acquisition

Attract new donors.
2.

Retention

Encourage first-time donors to donate regularly.
3.

Low capacity utilization

30% of Cara Plasma branches had critically low capacity utilization.

Cara Plasma is an ambitious company with strictly defined performance goals that we evaluate every week. To meet these goals, which increase every quarter, performance marketing alone is not enough.

Our solution 

How did we increase the number of first-time donors, turn them into regular donors and fulfill the client's goals so well that after three quarters of working together, they ruthlessly raised the targets by another 20%?

At the beginning of the collaboration, weekly results were inconsistent. One week we hit the targets, the next we didn’t. Every Sunday we sweated it out hoping Monday’s stats would show green numbers around 100% or more.

How did we do last week? 🙏🏽

We made it! Achieved 129% of the plan, but we need to boost Prague II. 🙌🏼

Martin

Great! We had an idea. Let’s try it out 🔥.

But with every week we improved, and after a year of collaboration we increased the number of donations
by 65%.

What did we do?

1. Determining positioning and personas
We conducted a market and competitor analysis and identified key donor segments. We created personas that allowed us to target different donor groups, from young adults to older generations. This step helped us better understand their motivations and needs.
2. Setting up topic wheel for communication

We developed a content marketing strategy based on a brand topic wheel that included key topics relevant to our target audiences. We regularly published this content on social media, in outdoor advertising, and in PR activities. This helped raise awareness of the importance of plasma donation and supported community engagement.

Among other things, we also prepared a major campaign for the 10th anniversary of Cara Plasma on the Czech market, in which we achieved an unprecedented record – the main video spot for the campaign had a 94% completion rate on YouTube. You can read more here.

3. Creating
consistent design

Consistency is something almost every client company struggles with. We designed a much cleaner visual style that was consistent across all communication channels. This design included everything from visual language to slight website adjustments, as well as marketing materials and social media

4. Planning
tactical campaigns for the whole year

We created a detailed annual marketing campaign plan that included seasonal events and special promotional actions. Each campaign was designed to address specific donor segments and motivate them to donate. Thanks to this planning, we were able to manage our resources effectively and maximize campaign reach, which was a significant change from the past, where the client operated quite emotionally and sporadically

5. Redesign
homepage and subpages

We made a slight redesign of the website, particularly the homepage and key subpages. Our goal was to increase their conversion rate, i.e., the number of visitors who decide to donate. We improved user-friendliness, added clear calls to action, and optimized the website for mobile devices.

6. Collaboration
with influencers

We established partnerships with influential personalities on social media who had a strong reach with our target audiences. These influencers shared their personal stories and experiences with plasma donation, inspiring their followers to get involved. These authentic and trustworthy recommendations had a significant impact on increasing the number of new donors.

7. Reconfiguration of RTB
campaigns to traditional PPC campaigns

We transitioned from RTB (real-time bidding) campaigns to traditional PPC campaigns on platforms like Google, Sklik, Microsoft Ads, and Meta. This step allowed us to better target ads and optimize costs. We regularly analyzed the performance of the campaigns and made adjustments to maximize efficiency and reduce the cost per first-time donor and retention bookings.

Based on anonymized data from the client, we created a donor heatmap, which allowed us to target campaigns even more effectively and distribute the budget more efficiently. As a result, we further improved marketing efficiency and maximized the potential of PPC campaigns.
