Game-Changing Solutions for Pharmaceutical Retailers:

The pharmaceutical industry thrives on trust and brand loyalty. Marketing is essential in creating brand awareness and product visibility. Effective marketing helps create a competitive edge and aids in expansion into new markets, thus acquiring new customers.

To increase marketing return on investment (MROI), pharma retailers must project future marketing productivity, secure and justify marketing budgets, allocate marketing budgets across segments, and gain approval for campaign launches. The rising competition and volatile customer base in the pharmaceutical industry have prompted pharma retailers to look for opportunities to allocate marketing budgets effectively.

Pharma Marketing Analytics Challenges of the Pharma Client

Our client, a leading pharma retailer, had operations spread across geographies. Hence, the client could not collate data and analyze the impact of the spending on marketing activities. As the client lacked visibility on its MROI, it could not quantify its marketing channels’ effectiveness. Thus, the client approached Quantzig to devise a strategy that would provide a comprehensive understanding of their marketing efforts. The pharma client wanted Quantzig to optimize its marketing strategy to gain maximum return on investment and increase the conversion rate.

Considering the sensitive nature of the industry, the client wanted to improve their trust and brand loyalty. To achieve this target, the client contacted our experts to understand the role of pharmaceutical marketing analytics.

Marketing has a crucial role in creating awareness, positioning, and sharing information about product performance. Every pharmaceutical product goes through these processes. Hence, at each stage, a different marketing strategy needs to be implemented to impact the company’s bottom line positively. Pharmaceutical Marketing analytics thus plays a key role in carving out the right approach for the evolution of each product segment.
