Towards more need based medication |
by Jessica
Plummeting ED drugs sales has called for responsible marketing campaigns.
Sunday’s New York Times had reported sometime back that the demand for sex performance drugs like Levitra was plummeting. The erectile dysfunction drugs have been registering falling sales over a period beginning 2005 and even little earlier. As the Times story went “the market for impotence medicines appears to have fallen well short of what was once predicted.”
It appears that in the first place the market for the drugs was over exaggerated. That means there never was such a demand. An initial spurt in the demand for these drugs was media-fueled and managed. So it was an artificial demand. Hence, if Jim had gone to buy Levitra, it was out of a need of his, for he had had normal erection and a normal sex life. He bought the drug once and a number of times later just for the fun and hooked on to it for sometime before giving it up altogether. The experimenters are on the run and bringing the sales down. Of course the genuine needy are sticking to the drugs.
The Times report went like this -"Heavy advertising to consumers, totaling more than $400 million…, has made Viagra and its newer competitors, Cialis and levitra, among the best-known drug brands in the United States, and their combined global sales reached about $2.5 billion last year. But the number of new prescriptions for the drugs has fallen steadily this year. Doctors wrote about 10 percent fewer new prescriptions in October 2005 than they did in October of 2004."
The report said, "effectiveness of television advertising for prescription drugs may be wearing off’, and also the fact that “both the media and analysts have overstated the size of the market for impotence drugs."
Following this, market campaigners changed their strategy and worked on getting more and more erectile dysfunction affected patients to talk to their doctors. This could be called an exercise in good and responsible business, which focused on real problems and the needy target.
So next time you buy Levitra online, you will be appreciated for your need based buy and not of the heck of it.
