Effective Strategies for Print and Online Catalogs
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 […]
Exhibition Strategies in the Life Science Market
My last few posts were a general look at exhibiting at scientific conferences. In case you hadn’t heard, we recently released our latest report, “Conferences & Exhibits in the Life Sciences: What’s Working Now.” The bottom line appears to be that exhibits at scientific conferences and trade shows are an essential element of the marketing […]
Awards Season
Well it’s Awards season…the Oscars are coming up and the buzz from Hollywood grows louder by the day. Not to be outdone, BioInformatics, LLC and The Scientist magazine are teaming up again to host the 2008 Life Science Industry Awards. There are still a few details to be worked out but one thing that you […]
A Few More Thoughts on Exhibiting
As we all know, exhibiting at conferences has long been a common practice among life science vendors. Yet decisions on where to exhibit are often made with little more justification than the presence of competing vendors. Furthermore the nature of the promotional activities conducted at the conference are rarely tailored to the targeted audience. Whereas […]
Exhibiting at Scientific Meetings
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 […]
Shameless Self Promotion
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 […]
A scientific approach to scientific ads
Life science suppliers seek to minimize risk when launching a product by gathering evidence that the product is likely to succeed. However, many suppliers still take a large risk when launching advertising campaigns without evidence the campaign will succeed with their target life science customers. Ad concept testing is a cost-saving solution that uses data […]
The Challenge of Effective Advertising
Well the holidays are over and I hope everyone has come back to work rested and refreshed. Here’s hoping for a happy and healthy new year for us all! In this post, I’d like to talk some more about print advertising in the life science market. Research that we’ve conducted reveals that 62% of scientists […]
Advertising to Scientists
I’d like to kick off the next series of posts which will focus on print advertising in the scientific market… Despite the tens (hundreds?) of millions of dollars spent each year by life science vendors on print advertising, few marketing executives can point to a quantifiable return on investment. In general, print ads seem to […]
Scientists and Social Media
Last week we announced the preliminary results of our survey on how life scientists are using social media. The responses were based on a worldwide study of more than 1,500 scientists that included both registered members of The Science Advisory Board and randomly selected scientists. We sponsored this project in conjunction with our good friends […]
