48. Why a pharma marketer would listen to Social
Media?
✓ Understand patients questions:
• It’s a good source to get the information what people do not know and what
language they use.
✓ Learn about users experience with the medication:
• Valuable feedback on what people really think about brands, packaging, affects.
✓ Get the real responses and not biased:
• Unlike standard market research, tracking online conversations gives us the full scope
(positive and negative) of consumer feedback. Learning about issues allows to react
quickly.
✓ Expand the sample:
• The big number of patients and caregivers online = a much larger data sample than
is possible through survey or focus group research.
✓ Answer questions you did not even think to ask
• Listening is a great opportunity to find out which topics are the discussions drivers
* 59% search internet before asking the doctor. 55% ask the doctor first. (Source: iCrossing. How Americs
