How to Spend Your Promotional Dollars … Wisely
Personal selling has come under increased scrutiny as the largest item in promotional budgets for pharmaceutical companies. As well, controversy endures regarding direct-to-consumer advertising and medical education. Other components of the professional marketing mix may appear to produce excellent marketing returns on the investment but have relatively low levels of actual revenue impact, such as journal advertising. Whether for maximizing the launch of a new product or optimizing promotion for a brand, evidence-based marketing is a critical issue.
What makes MattsonJack’s Promotional Response Modeling service stand out from our competitors is that we analyze your entire market environment. The reality is that your product does not exist in a vacuum and, in order to react to the dynamics of your competitive environment, you need to know how changes in your competitors’ promotional activities will affect you.
