Once built, the Marketing Room provides the option to run marketing campaigns for your hospital. This allows for new ways of improving your hospital's Reputation, attracting Patients with particular Illnesses and hire Staff of certain types.

Description
To start a marketing campaign, select a marketing table and choose a marketing direction.


 * General Marketing - to improve hospital reputation.
 * Illness Marketing - to attract patients with certain Illnesses.
 * Recruitment Marketing - to attract staff.

After you selected the desired direction you are presented with a more detailed choice of campaign goals. Every option offers different outcomes based on its size, duration and type of campaign.

Cost and outcome depend on the base campaign cost, the size (applies to general marketing) and the duration of the campaign.

Three months is the minimum duration for each campaign, every additional month adds $5,000 to the campaign's cost for Small or Medium campaigns. Every additional month adds $10,000 to the campaign's cost for Large campaigns.
 * Small, short lived campaigns are the cheapest but least profitable
 * Large, long-term campaigns being the most expensive but also being the most rewarding.
