Lantus (Sanofi-Aventis), Advair (GlaxoSmithKline), and Singulair (Merck) are the top pharmaceutical brand sites in terms of consumer visitor satisfaction, according to pharmaceutical and healthcare market research company Manhattan Research. The findings are from ePharma Consumer® v8.0, the company's latest study and strategic advisory service focused on how consumers find and use pharmaceutical resources online. Other top brand sites leading in consumer satisfaction include Abilify (Bristol-Myers Squibb), Caduet (Pfizer), Januvia (Merck), Mirena (Bayer), Nexium/purplepill.com (AstraZeneca), Prevacid (Takeda), and Protonix (Wyeth).
ePharma Consumer® v8.0 tracks consumer interaction with more than 250 branded and unbranded pharmaceutical sites, including in-depth data on the effect of DTC advertising, visitation, site search rationales, desired site tools and features, and actions taken off-site.
"Pharmaceutical marketing is rapidly evolving, and brand teams and agencies are looking beyond number of eyeballs to the site when evaluating their digital strategy. To truly understand online performance, marketers are focusing more on metrics such as engagement, action steps, satisfaction and of course conversions," said Mark Bard, president of Manhattan Research. "While driving visitors to sites is critical, engaging and retaining them will provide the most strategic value to the brand."
