Pharmaceutical Marketing Tools for the Mature Brand

Pharmaceutical marketing professionals working on mature prescription drug brands face a unique set of challenges. Mature pharmaceutical brands need to be defended against:
- Impending patent infringements and loss
- Declining share of voice as pharma companies shift marketing focus to newer products. The shift can lead to:
- A decline in the number of sales representatives deployed on the brand
- A lower position in the pharmaceutical representatives’ bag
- A reduction in prescription drug sample quantities
- A limited marketing budget
- Possible FDA labeling changes and warnings
- Introduction of me-to pharmaceutical brands
- Physicians become even tougher to meet with when sales representatives are not discussing the latest innovations.
- Increase reach and frequency to offset decline in share of voice
- Quickly deploy and manage message touch points during times of crisis
- Improve communication channels to take advantage of opportunities
- Manage and monitor invitations and attendance for physician events
