The brief

Ocotillo hired a nurse injector in August, and the owner wanted first-timers booking free consults with her before the winter season. Most people who ask about injectables at the front desk never book. They want to know who would do it and what could go wrong, and they don’t like asking. The limits: no before-and-after photos, no result promises, no product names in the ads, and the nurse and the medical director approve every word.

Goal
Help first-timers feel safe enough to book a consult, the step before any injectable.
Who and where
Women and men aged 30 to 55 in Scottsdale and Paradise Valley who have thought about injectables but never booked.

What the client gave me

The nurse’s license details and a few lines about her background, the questions the front desk hears every week, the two-page aftercare sheet clients take home, and phone photos of the consult room and the front desk.

The consult room the week the nurse started. The owner took it on her phone between clients.

What I made

Introduce the nurse first, answer the questions people feel awkward asking, explain aftercare plainly and end with a free consult. No before-and-after photos or result promises.

  1. Meet your nurse injector
    Meet your nurse injectorHer background was a paragraph of credentials. I moved the license and years to the caption and let the photo answer the first question: who will actually do this?Caption Trust comes before treatment. Introducing the nurse answers the first question people have: who will actually be doing this?
  2. Ask these before any injectable

A spa that invites them looks more trustworthy than one that avoids them.
  3. After your appointment

  4. Free consults, Tuesday to Thursday

Meta approved the nurse ad on the second try, once I took the treatment name out. It got cheap clicks and few bookings: people liked meeting her and wanted to know more before deciding. The consult ad, from Sep 29, brought 17 of the 23 bookings that came through ads.

What happened

The question box did more than I expected. 57 people asked something, mostly about cost, bruising and how long it lasts, and the nurse answered every one by message within a day. 11 of them went on to book a consult. The email is what didn’t work: the list was two years old, a third of it bounced, and it brought 2 bookings. Of the 34 consults, 16 led to a first treatment, and nobody was asked to decide on the day, which was the owner’s rule.

What I’d do next

Write the ads without treatment names from the start. Clean the email list before using it again. Keep the question box going once a month, since those questions are the next posts. And film the nurse answering the three questions, so the next round has a short video.
