Yes, Pharma gets Social Media.

The first link here asks the question – “Does Pharma Get Social Media?”  and the second link explains the difficulties.   This summer I did a marketing internship at Sanofi Pharmaceuticals.   The second link is about how sanofi has helped diabetics by using Facebook and Twitter.  But there are lots of issues pharma has to deal with in this space – people post things like – my doc told me to take my med every day but I only take a couple of times a week – or worse, someone says they had a serious side effect- or someone encourages people to try a drug for an indication that isn’t approved.   These are all big issues and the industry has to be very careful about engaging in two-way conversations because whatever they do has to be acceptable to FDA.   Sanofi has found a way to walk the balance.

  1. Very interesting article. It really seems as though Sanofi has figured out how to walk the fine line that pharma has to deal with because of all of the regulations.

    Marketing refers to the activity which helps in sales of goods and services. Marketing communicates about the use and advantages of goods and services. It is a continuous activity which leads to sales of products and services.

    Marketing is not a one time activity. A firm success depends upon marketing activities. Marketing can be in form of advertisements through newspapers, T.V channels, Print media, Electronic media like websites. Best form of marketing is word of mouth.

    Pharma Marketing
    Marketing plays an important role in pharma industry. These days pharma companies are spending aggressively on marketing to increase their sales and market share. Rather than spending on research , lot of money is being spend on advertisements.

    There are certain rules in marketing which companies have to follow. They can only market non prescribed medicines like analgesic medicines for reducing pain. Laws related to Pharma Marketing states that companies cannot give special benefits to medical professionals to promote their products.

    Doctors are they key component for sales. They are the one who prescribes the medicines and thus leads to sales. Marketing of pharma products is regulated by Food and Drug administration of that country.
