Global warming of the traditional pharma business model


Factors impacting the traditional business model

Increased competition for physician time

Healthcare cost control initiatives in all major markets

Development of the generics industry and generic competition

Rising costs of pharmaceutical R&D

Intertwining value chains


Nevertheless in Europe, the rep is still king of the mix


So, when times get really tough, rep downsizing is the first thing that comes into mind


Like in most other industries, the channel mix for HCPs is fragmenting...


And online is rapidly coming to the fore

The art of fusion


Definition of Fusion marketing

A MATRIX of technology, tactics and channels which can be quickly, dynamically configured in different ways to both speak AND listen to customers and prospects in a way that is appropriate for both the company and target audience


A seismic shift is taking place...

Push Pull

Monologue Dialogue

Individual Group / Network

Indirect (via prescribers)

Direct (to patients)

Offline Offline & Online


Why is it happening right now ?

Marketing (R)evolution Technology explosion New audience


Marketing (R)evolution

Time spent on traditional advertising channels is eroding in favour of online channels

Pharmaceutical industry has become much more transparent for the general public thanks to the internet

Customers are savvy, sceptical, more demanding and have attention deficit

E-mail addresses have become more available than phone numbers.Forrester predicts annual email volume to double between now and 2013

Even with a very high at-home internet penetration today, mobile phone penetration is even higher

Given the recession, most marketeers intend to increase digital marketing spend


Technology explosion

The capacity of technological devices doubles every 2 yearsMoore’s law

WEB 2.0 Social media explosion

However, digital is certainly not an “instant success”….next to the usual suspects of ROI & regulatory…

Across Health emarketing survey 2009

strategy makes it to the list of top hurdles for success in digital…and lack of knowledge is not helping either


Throwing things at the wall and see what sticks?


Very often, digital is still seen as a “nice to have”, “check the box” or “let’s be innovative” thing

Due to this lack of fusion thinking & knowledge...

digital is still seen as a

“nice to have”

“check the box”

“let’s be innovative/2.0”

While in reality, it should be tightly embedded into the strategic marketing pillars...the buying process

What is the buying process for your product?

Which behavioural objective(s) will you focus on?

For which audience?

The principle is as simple as this...(Forrester 2008)

POST

People Assess your customers’ digital activities

Objectives Decide what you want to accomplish

Strategy Plan for how relationships with customers will changeand what the effect of your actions will be in your customers’ networks

Technology Decide which technologies to use

Some Fusion business models...


eRep definition : what is it ?

eRep or Virtual Rep is a live, interactive web presentation between

a (medical) representative and an HCP.

A date and time is set prior to the actual call

eRep: the process

Contact 1 : recruitment by telephone

Contact 2 : if refusal, record in

DB and send info by mail

Contact 4 : Interactive online call (15 min)

Contact 6 : ‘Thank you letter’ and distribution of leaflet

Contact 5 : Satisfaction survey

Contact 3 : first telephone contact by e-rep

eMSL : a recipe for success !

Pull instead of Push

Ratio 5:1

Increased productivity :

- higher number of calls

- lower costs

- vacant or remote areas

With whom are you interested in communicating via videoconference or call center?

This is confirmed by market research


• Human/ social aspect

• Communication route (telephone/web) most common reason of non acceptance

• Change management

• Content needs to be new and exciting for follow-up calls

• Make sure you have qualitative HCP data

• Still lower acceptance levels than traditional calls

-

• Low technology barriers during interview (both HCP and eRep)

• Longer interview time compared to traditional setting

• Higher message recall

• Increased productivity :- # of calls- lower cost- vacant or remote areas

• High satisfaction levels

• Easy to bring up information
