Detailing is Becoming Less Efficient "The number of pharmaceutical representatives has ALMOST DOUBLED since 1993"* "The number of sales calls has remained almost flat (38 million [1993] to 42 million [1997])* "43% of representative visits ended at the receptionist's window"** "87% of sales calls to HVP's are <2 minutes"

Some suggest the figure for the year 2,000 is close to 70,000 reps
Not All D-T-C Promotion is Efficient Most researchers agree that in general less than half of TV provides a positive ROI. PERQ/HCI research confirms that in many cases TV is not as strong at communicating a message as print. In addition, print usually provides a greater ROI than TV. Response to DTC promotion varies greatly depending on a product's rank in market share.

Conclusion • Both political and economic forces will push the industry to become more efficient in its marketing practices
VI. Implications for the Future
Implications • If a universally known, well-respected Internet site emerges, the Internet could become the centerpiece of the industry’s communication efforts to physicians and consumers • In this scenario, promotion, both on the Internet and ancillary (detailing, TV, direct mail, journals, magazines, etc.) would be used to reinforce the educational messages contained on the Internet. • This would represent a dramatic change in how pharmaceuticals are marketed!
