Current and Future Trends in Physician E-Sampling Programs for the Pharmaceutical Industry


CHAPEL HILL, N.C., Sept. 4, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- Physician E-sampling is becoming well established across many companies and therapeutic areas, and has become a key marketing sales tactic in recent years. However, some organizations are still slow to fully adopt E-sampling as a supplement to traditional sampling.

According to research by benchmarking firm, Best Practices, LLC, physician E-sampling has been seeded across multiple therapeutic areas- including diabetes and most other large chronic areas. While E-sampling has been in place for five or more years at many companies, 1/4 of the benchmark class is still new to the channel. Physician E-sampling innovation seems to be stimulated simultaneously by difficulty reaching physicians, sales resource limitations and evolving specialty models.

The related report, "Current and Future Trends in Physician E-Sampling: Managing for Superior Sales, Access, Service & Cost Benefits," identifies and documents current practices and trends in physician E-sampling across the biopharmaceutical industry.

Key study objectives were:

This report will help organizations to improve the efficiency and effectiveness of their E-sampling programs through the benchmarks provided by 31 leaders at 22 organizations, including nine Top 25 pharma companies.
