WHO
All Alliance members are invited to share copies of their health plan's communication and marketing pieces. Thank you in advance for participating! We can all learn from each other. Even if you’re not directly responsible for sales and marketing development at your plan, we encourage you to coordinate with your organization’s stakeholders to arrange for sharing.
WHAT
Any member-facing piece is encouraged! Direct mail, advertising slicks, brochures of course – and don’t forget postcards reminding your members to get flu shots, or any other campaign you’ve built to support Stars objectives. If the piece is seen by your members, we’d love you to share it with your Health Plan Alliance colleagues.
HOW
