MediFriend unveils next-generation pharmaceutical medical-centric giveaways
 
Los Angeles, U.S., April 14, 2000 - MDF, a global medical instrument manufacturing company, today unveiled a suite of customizable medical instruments that makes pharmaceutical and medical equipment companies more competitive and effective in marketing drugs and equipment to healthcare professionals. The MDF suite of medical instruments as marketing vehicles increases branding longevity and impression frequency while reducing long-term marketing costs.
According to marketing representatives interviewed from 3 major U.S. Pharmaceutical companies and physicians in the Los Angeles area, promotional giveaways are crucial ingredients to a successful presentation. However, when pharmaceutical reps and physicians were asked about traditional giveaways, they stated: "Often do not complement the product marketed," "irrelevant to being part of an integrated promotion campaign," and "have little significant medical value."
MDF's newly unveiled suite of medical instruments as medical-centric brand reminders increases marketers' return-on-investment due to its longevity and, more importantly, effective in capturing healthcare communities' attention. Traditional promotional items, such as pens, notepads, magnets, anatomical charts and equivalents, are limited in lifespan and medical function. When traditional items are used, reps are required to repeatedly replenish customers' with brand reminders. Over the course of the product life cycle, substantial budget is necessary to sustain the activity while deficient of value-added to healthcare professionals.
