Marketing (Room)



The Marketing Room is unlocked during the introductory section of Flemington; it is a facility room used by assistants with Marketing Qualifications to run Marketing Campaigns; these can be used to increase the hospital's reputation, attract patients for specific treatment rooms or recruit staff at a higher rate and/or with specific qualifications.

Function
This room is used to launch Marketing Campaigns. These can be initiated by selecting the Marketing Table, from the Room Inspector, or by simply dropping an Assistant with the Marketing Qualification into the room when there is no existing campaign running.

There are three types of marketing campaign: Since campaigns can run for up to twelve months at a time, it is advised to place items to take care of the assistants' needs.
 * General Marketing campaigns are used to increase the hospital's reputation, larger campaigns having a larger effect, but at a higher cost.
 * Illness Marketing campaigns will attract a higher proportion of patients for the corresponding room. It should be noted that this will not increase the overall number of patients; that is determined by hospital reputation and level, and subject to a hard cap on many earlier levels.
 * Recruitment Marketing campaigns will either increase the rate at which corresponding recruits will appear in the Hiring Screen, or increase the likelihood that recruits will have the desired qualification.

Appearance
