Getting Started with Veeva CRM Approved Email

What is Veeva CRM Approved Email? 

Veeva CRM Approved Email is an email solution built into Veeva CRM which enables pharma organisations to send tailored, personalised and approved email content to customers. Content can be compiled quickly by field sales reps to ensure that it is personalised and relevant to the individual customer and their needs.

With Veeva Approved Email, sales teams can share resources, arrange virtual meetings and send post meeting follow up communications to customers, all in a compliant manner. With 58% of HCPs preferring email communications over other channels, Veeva Approved email is a vital tool for pharma organisations. Veeva customers are reported to generate a 40% open rate with Approved Emails, helping sales reps to increase their reach by ensuring that HCPs receive relevant and engaging email communications.


How to create Veeva Approved Emails?

The process of creating Veeva Approved Emails is outlined in five steps:

  1. Planning: To ensure the success of an Approved Email project it is important to build a solid foundation; within the planning stage it is vital to establish the content message and how the content will be displayed, generate awareness of any technical considerations and prepare users for the launch. 

  2. Briefing: The process of creating Veeva Approved Emails begins with a discussion between the agency and the customer to determine customer requirements and to integrate Veeva Approved Emails into their marketing strategy. Once a comprehensive understanding of the needs of the customer and the aim of the Veeva Approved Email has been established, the design process can begin. 

  3. Design: Following discussions with the customer over the design of the approved email, the agency will receive the customer assets and can design the email in accordance to the customers goals and requirements.

  4. Build: Once the design has been finalised, the email development process can begin. The agency creates the template against compliance guidelines and submit it for testing once finished.

  5. Approval: Once the email has been approved, the customer can access the template directly via Veeva Vault. At this stage, the approved email enters the final stage of testing and approvals before it can be deployed.
