How pharma will need to adapt

How pharma will need to adapt | Pharma: Trends and Uses Of Mobile Apps and Digital Marketing | Scoop.it
ROI is very often a narrow view of channels in the industry. On the one hand it is important to know that some channels don’t necessarily provide direct ROI but are a commodity/must-have – and play a key role in the overall sales & marketing success. The telephone is a commodity channel: if you don’t have a phone the doctor cannot call you, so what’s the ROI of the phone? Hard to say, but without it the ROI of your business would be lower. In a similar vein, an integrated self-service portal, email connectivity and selected mobile offerings are must-haves in the New Normal.

eMedToday's insight:

 

Digital will have to be integrated with other channels, in most cases. called fusion.  Digital & reps will continue to exist alongside each other, but they should be co-ordinated and merged.

Marketing's new role is to promote positive health outcomes, not position the brand.
eMedToday's comment, April 15, 2013 8:46 PM
The "push promotion," or mass advertising of commercial messages in the form of sales professional details, branded websites, and branded direct to consumer advertisements are outdated. We now live in a world with a substantially greater quantity and quality of data, so the amount of transparency and the ability of payers, providers, and patients to compare outcomes has never been greater. pharmaceutical products will be held to much higher standards of health outcome.

About 1/3 of sales reps and executives in the pharma industry believe their marketing organizations ‘need a complete overhaul.’ The marketing transition is well underway with some 25% of direct sales people having been replaced by digital initiatives that target the 4 key markets for their products – doctors, providers, payers and patients.
