NEW YORK, N.Y., May 14, 2014 - (ACN Newswire) - Pharmaceutical marketers need to make data part of every decision they make, advised Kevin Kane, President, and Lori Schwartz, Vice President - Operations / Data Analytics, at MarketShare Movers LLC. The majority of co-pay card programs fall short of the expected return on investment (ROI), because they are not tracked or monitored to the degree and frequency that they could be, they said.

- What needs are not being met in pharma marketing with co-pay card programs today?
Kevin Kane - A critical need is to execute promotions promptly and measure impact early and often. Many people say they do it, but they are too slow in getting products out into the market. Co-pay card programs, if they are measured at all, it is done too late. In addition, most co-pay card vendors are one dimensional and do not integrate data and decision making.
- How could companies boost their market share? What do some co-pay card programs lack?
Kevin Kane - Although these programs are expensive, companies consider them important because they do not want excessive cost to be the reason why patients are not taking their drug. When co-pay card prescriptions are written, we match opt in patients to their prescription data, their pharmacy, and their doctor. If this is managed appropriately, the data can be used to make one good decision after another. However, most marketers do not believe they can affect the outcome.
- What data should they look at to achieve better results?
Lori Schwartz - We help the brand manager set up an objective - for example, 100,000 prescriptions by the end of the year - and focus on that. We look at the market, get prescription data, look at the profit margins, how competitive products are trending, product price and clinical profile.
When the product is being launched, we look at the data coming in on a daily or weekly basis, and try to understand the relationship between using the co-pay card to try at production and leveraging this to become an ongoing behavior change. Our goal is to get as many doctors as possible to try the product in the shortest period of time and avoid cannibalization, overuse of the card, as it affects ROI. A high volume redeemer will not bring higher profit, so pulling back the promotions on certain targets (at a certain time) would give us the opportunity to provide them to higher opportunity targets.
It is important to evaluate the program on an ongoing basis, and adjust the offer or channels accordingly. We have learned that if we get the brand manager to make five or ten decisions that they previously would not have made, the end result will be exponentially higher.
