Well for better or worse I’m back and thanks for the emails asking where I’ve been! It’s nice to know the work I put into our blog is appreciated. Did you know that in any given year about 1/3 of your customer base is vulnerable? That sounds like the sort of conventional wisdom thrown about […]
What’s in a name? Apparently a lot because I’ve noticed more and more companies adopting the “life science” moniker – big pharmas, biotechs, CROs, even IT and software companies. I’ve even seen reports from top-tier consulting firms that include hospitals and physicians in what they refer to as the “life science” space. As we begin […]
Last week, we released another new report – this time the topic is “Life Science Product Catalogs: Techniques to Increase Sales.” In this report we present the perspective of over 1,000 life scientists worldwide regarding their preferences for print and online catalogs, how catalogs influence their ordering and purchasing habits, and which catalogs scientists prefer […]

Furthermore the nature of the promotional activities conducted at the conference are rarely tailored to the targeted audience. Whereas […]
Conferences play an essential role in fostering communication among life scientists. The most important role of conferences is to provide a forum for presenting cutting-edge research and important scientific developments. In addition, conferences offer scientists numerous opportunities for career advancement, networking, new collaborations and education. The rapid advances in life science have led to an […]
In my last few posts, I’ve been focusing on some of the challenges of advertising in the life science market and our approach to helping clients develop more effective ads. I’ll be honest here…I’m drumming up interest in our upcoming report on the subject: Advertising to Life Scientists: Resolving the Print vs. Online Dilemma. You […]
