HealthLink Dimensions’ very own Zack Aab, Email Deliverability Manager, and Andi Garza, Email Project Manager, recently attended Inbox Expo 2025, a leading global conference focused on email marketing strategy, deliverability, and engagement. The event brought together marketing professionals from across industries to explore the latest trends, technologies, and data-driven techniques shaping email performance today. Zack and Andi returned with focused insights on what truly drives effective email outreach to healthcare providers.
Here are their top three takeaways:
-
Relevance in the Subject Line is Non-Negotiable
Subject lines and preheaders are your first, and sometimes only, chance to earn attention. Relevance is driven by personalization and understanding your contacts' needs, which starts with high-quality data. For healthcare providers, that means using real-time signals like prescribing behavior or digital engagement to tailor your message from the start. But even with the right data, email creation remains a consistent challenge for marketers across industries. Whether using established platforms or newer tools, building messages that actually connect is still tough.
With HealthLink Engage’s Triggered Email solution, marketers can deploy campaigns based on behavioral cues like page visits or ad clicks. This allows subject lines to speak directly to what the provider is already interested in, improving open rates and relevance.

Value-Driven Retention is the New Standard
Retention isn’t about frequency. It’s about delivering consistent value that healthcare professionals want. That means clinically relevant content, timely updates, and actionable information that helps them do their jobs. Campaigns should feel like a benefit, not a broadcast. This standard of value delivery aligns with one of Inbox Expo’s most recurring themes: it’s not about vanity metrics anymore. Open rates and clicks are secondary. The real metric that matters is conversion, measuring whether an email influenced action.
For healthcare audiences, that means clinically relevant content, timely updates, and actionable information. HealthLink Dimensions supports this with precision targeting through 4X-verified, privacy-safe email data and personalized content strategies informed by prescribing and diagnosis data. Deliverability and engagement are built into the process.
