Hi Catherina Case Study
Hi Catherina,

The illustration you provide regarding the Coricidin HBP and its advantages when it was first introduced on the market was significant. As other competitors begin to see the benefits they will commence to create a similar product which will increase the competition. As you can see, although competitors may try to replicate the products that does not guarantee it will be successful, as you noted the dissatisfaction with the CVS brand as it failed to meet customer’s expectation. This medication is targeted to a specific group of individual historical had to suffer needlessly with a cold, so now that the product is available it will increase profits for the manufacturer. I believe when marketing products to a select group it is

    Alltarim Swot Analysis Of Pharmasim

    As the brand manager for OTC cold medicine group, my primary objective was to capitalize on marketing opportunities using Allstar’s identified strengths and weaknesses combined with the identified market threats and opportunities. Allstar’s singular product, Allround, is the market leader and the brand historically has had success in terms of profitability and sales. Allstar Brand’s single product line accounted for 40.4% of the cold product category of the market and 23.8% of the total OTC cold medicine market. However, Allstar management had, rightfully so, become concerned with the competitive nature of the OTC cold remedy market. Senior management suspected that competitive activity would lead to declining market share and profitability…

    It’s great that you mentioned having knowledge of your competitors’ business choices, quality of their exports, and price rates, as an optimal way for managers to determine which country would be good to export. Do you also agree that looking at the historical data of your competitors could be beneficial? I believe it is important to know how well your competitors have been doing financially on the countries they are exporting and also, how big the demand of the products they export have been in the past years.…

    Mkt 421 Blue Ocean Strategy

    Although on the surface this move by a company may seem counterproductive, it does have some merit. This strategy will likely be used when introducing a product into an already saturated market when considering the low cost of marketing and educating the people on the company product. An example might be the introduction of a new brand of soda brand into the market that is dominated by Coca- Cola followed up by Pepsi. It is clear that the potential consumer will not need education about the product. Additionally it is evident that research costs will be greatly reduced as there is a plethora of data already available. However it is very unlikely that the new soda brand will make any real stake in the soda industry.…

    Zzzquil: The Benefits Of Prescription Advertising

    Because consumers become more interested in the product, they are more likely to buy that product, and thus an increase in revenue. Advertising in general increases revenue, but increases revenue exponentially in prescription advertisement that, in 2012, prescription drug advertisers spent a total of $3.19 billion (Kannan). This costly investment comes back in around $8 billion, enough to cover the amount spent for advertising and still have a positive revenue. Additionally, the drug company Seldane only netted $100 million before prescription advertising. Currently, with prescription advertising, they net approximately $600 million more (“Selling Sickness”). From a business/investor stand point, this is beneficial to pockets and bank accounts. Business-wise, they can increase drug prices and increase their production to meet supply and demand. Drug companies have good intentions when they first produce their drug, but advertising is for…

    Health Care Reform Project: Prescription Drug Abuse

    Prescription drugs whose patents have expired are highly elastic; however, prescription drugs whose patents still exist are highly inelastic. Many consumers will substitute generic brands for drugs that have had their patents expire. These generic drugs can be produced at a much lower cost and yet still contain the active ingredients and FDA approval to their brand name equivalent. As a result, supply increases along with demand and puts downward pressure on price. Because there are no substitutes for patented drugs, consumers have no choice but to pay the higher prices determined by supply and demand…

    “If Burger King and McDonald’s launch a price war to gain market share, they partly make up in volume what they lose in price.” (Levitt 105). If someone found a way to make something better and cheaper, then it would cost less then its competitor. Consumers would want to buy that product first because of price and quality. Consumers want more for there dollar. “During the late 1970’s, the wholesale price of cocaine in the United States fell dramatically, even as its purity was rising (Levitt 108). Even if the product improves, it doesn’t mean that consumers will buy.…

    Health Care Marketing Reflection Essay

    "Markets change, tastes change, so the companies and the individuals who choose to compete in those markets must change."( Wang, n.d. as cited by Morrison, p. 113). In modern medicine, disease treatment is more importance than disease prevention, as doctors focus more on treatment of symptoms of rather than determining its root cause. This is mirrored in the media by the large numbers of direct-consumer advertisements aimed at persuading patients themself to ask their doctors about various drug. Direct consumer marketing in the health-care industry is allowed in the USA.…

    The Company's primary strategy is to get those prescriptions surrendered by other pharmaceutical organizations. Despite the fact that the Company has received 4 standards to screen among the competitors, in any case it confronts the potential danger of disappointment. Drug organizations relinquished these items for a mixture of great reason including security, viability and benefit potential. Why does the Medicines Company have the Golden Finger? There is no such ensure that items which consent to the 4 criteria will end up being a blockbuster product. The Company seems to fail to offer an agreeable advertising arrangement for Angiomax and other future medications that are coming to company regarding to FDA. So we should stay sensible about…

    Drug Testing Ethics

    If a company can subsist more so by marketing a widely needed drug versus a niche drug that may be useful but not necessarily in high demand, they are simply exercising their right to survive as an organization. Libertarian in nature, the idea of the free market is that a company is granted the ability to profit so long as it falls within the legal guidelines of the country it operates within. Because the company neglects to produce one or a series of drugs, it opens up a supply gap for another company to fill and thus profit in their own way. In this regard, the fluidity of the free market may absolve the company of any accusations of ethical shortcomings. Similarly, declining marketing a drug in a foreign country because it would prove more profitably elsewhere relies on the balance of the free market, however the intent seems far less ethical as it presents itself as more of a scheme for profit maximization, where it isn’t monetary necessity driving the decision, its profiteering.

    Segmentation in B2B Markets

    Segmentation in B2B Markets

    CVS Pharmacy is one of the most successful drug store chains in America. What is the reason for this success? They understand their market and have approached it through segmentation and targeting. The company looked at its customer base and found that 80 percent are women. With this in mind, CVS redesigned 1,200 of its 6,200 stores to meet the needs of busy, multi-tasking women by offering shorter wait times for prescriptions, wider and better-lit shopping aisles, and more beauty products. In doing so it fulfilled the requirement of all good marketing orientated companies – it identified the needs of its customers and organised its offer to better meet them. This is at the heart of all good marketing – meeting customers’ needs profitably, and allocating finite resources in such a way that profit is maximised. This means not wasting time or resources on customers who would be less profitable, and treating the key targets not as one homogenous population but as distinct groups with distinct needs. It is very rare for even two customers to have identical needs to each other. In a perfect world, we would identify those customers that we deem to be profitable, and then treat each one of those individually according to their unique needs. In any market with a sizeable target audience, even this is likely to require more resources than is practical or profitable. To reiterate, segmentation, like marketing itself, is all about the profitable satisfaction of customers’ needs. It is designed to be a practical tool, balancing idealism against practicality and coming up with a solution that maximises profit. This means we have to be clever in targeting our offers at people who really do want them, need them and are…
