IVF and Women's Health: Marketing a Long Decision

IVF is the hardest unit in a hospital to market: the decision takes months, it carries a heavy emotional weight, the family decides together, and the patient usually researches several centers at once. Because the promotion regulation dated November 12, 2025 closes off success rate claims, patient satisfaction posts and price communication in this field, only one path remains: delivering the right information, at the right moment, in the right physician's own words.

What Is Digital's Role in a Decision That Takes Months?

In this field there are usually three to nine months between the first contact and the treatment decision. During that time the patient reads dozens of articles, visits forums, speaks with several centers, and frequently gives up and comes back. Digital's job is not to speed that process up, but to keep the institution alongside the patient throughout it. The center that uses sales language at an early touchpoint is the center that loses the patient.

The most common mistake in this field is building an aggressive sales voice in pursuit of short-term conversions. The regulation does not allow it, and the patient walks away the moment she sees that language.

Questions to Ask an Agency About IVF Marketing

In this unit, the wrong piece of communication exposes the institution both to regulatory risk and to reputational damage. Ask your candidate agency the following:

Our Prescription

Our Services for IVF and Women's Health

We manage the long decision cycle with the only instrument the regulation permits: information.

🔍

Content Architecture by Decision Stage

We build separate content clusters for the stage the patient is in: understanding the causes, comparing the options and choosing a center each raise different questions and expect different answers.

📱

Physician Authority and Trust

In this field the patient chooses the physician, not the institution. We make your physicians' expertise, academic background and approach visible in the way the regulation permits.

📈

Consent Architecture and Privacy

In a long decision cycle, the only lawful way to stay in contact is documented explicit consent. We build the flow for collecting, storing and withdrawing consent, and keep targeting setups within privacy limits.

Frequently Asked Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About IVF Marketing

Can we publish our IVF success rate?

The regulation prohibits comparative information that creates a perception of superiority. There is a fine but decisive difference between a center presenting its own results, with the scientific basis and the calculation method stated openly and without comparison or any claim of superiority, and creating the impression that it is superior to its competitors. In this field the copy should go through legal review before publication. The regulatory information on this page is based on the Regulation on Promotion and Information Activities in Health Services (Official Gazette, November 12, 2025, No. 33075) and is for information purposes only; it is not legal advice. Have your own legal counsel confirm how it applies to you.

Can we share patient stories and baby photos?

Not in domestic communication. The regulation prohibits advertising that uses expressions of thanks and satisfaction from patients and their relatives. Within the scope of health tourism, authorized facilities may feature patient stories on a separate platform aimed at an audience abroad, with patient privacy protected and explicit consent documented. Keeping the two channels separate is mandatory.

How do we stay in contact with the patient during a long decision cycle?

Only where documented explicit consent exists, and only within the scope of that consent. In practice this requires getting the consent text right at the first contact, recording the consent and keeping the path to withdraw it open. Reminder flows set up without consent are a violation of both the regulation and the KVKK, Turkey's personal data protection law.

We want to attract patients from abroad — can we run that from the same website?

The regulation requires promotion aimed at audiences abroad to be in languages other than Turkish and to run on a separate platform; HealthTürkiye authorization is also required. A setup mixed into a single site cannot benefit from the exemption and may be treated as a violation of the domestic prohibition.

How is the return on digital investment measured in this unit?

The number of forms is the most misleading metric in this unit; because the decision takes months, the form-to-treatment ratio within the same month is meaningless. Meaningful measurement means tracking contacts as cohorts: what share of the contacts received in a given month turn into consultations and treatments within three, six and nine months. Without that measurement in place, budget decisions cannot be made soundly.
