The Washington Physicians Directory offers multiple affordable
ways to advertise your products and services.
Mailing lists of M.D.’s and D.O.’s listed in The WPD may be rented
for one-time use. You may custom tailor your list, selecting by medical
specialty, geography, year of graduation from medical school, and foreign
language.
You may rent your list on 3-up pressure sensitive labels (peel & stick) or in an
electronic format (Excel spreadsheet), should you want to produce one
personalized letter in-house or use your printer/mailer to do a larger mailing.
Printers/mailers may save you money using today’s bulk-mail services.
Some things to consider when putting a mailing together:
1) Who needs to know what you have to say? What specialists and where they’re
located are primary concerns.
2) Who’s going to do this mailing? Does your professional staff have time to
stick labels on envelopes and do the inserting and stamping, or are you better
off using a professional mailing service? I will always recommend you get prices
from your printer . . . it’s a free quote. Quite often, especially with larger
mailings, the money they save you in postage may offset all of your mailing
preparation charges.
3) Would a personalized letter be preferable to labels? You may have the
in-house expertise to do this on your own computer.
4) How much will your postage be? Here I heartily recommend consulting with your
printer/mailer. Automating your mailing can save you a substantial amount of
time and money.

The WPD database is available in an electronic format (Excel
spreadsheet). This is particularly useful, and cost effective, if you have a
need to reach your market periodically throughout the year. The annual lease
entitles the lessee to unlimited use of the information for one year. (The
information is for the exclusive use of the lessee and may not be published,
exchanged, donated or resold.)
You may limit the size of your database by medical specialty, geography, year of
graduation from medical school, and foreign language. Each record (row) will
include the doctor’s name, medical school and year of graduation, NPI, group
practice name, all medical specialties and certifications, complete address,
office phone, up to two other phone numbers with their appropriate descriptions,
i.e., F=fax, C=cell or car phone, etc., and e-mail address, if provided.
The WPD will provide you with an Excel spreadsheet with column headers
and a file with additional column descriptions. To effectively use this data,
you will need a database software package with the ability to import an Excel
file or comma separated ASCII text file. Once you’ve established your own
database, you will have the capability to query on any of the fields in the
file, giving you the freedom to send correspondence to targeted specialty groups
within restricted geographical areas, if you so desire. A working knowledge of
your database software and your word processing software is essential.
