Tweets related to email marketing noted the following points:

Think about as designed vs. as rendered. Your beautiful HTML image probably will not viewable to most recipients.

You have to take the time to complete A/B testing before you send email out to all and to test on all devices.

Know your download time of images. Is an HCP going to wait for the image load in their email or delete?

Understand your target list and the types of emails will allow you to understand how the program will succeed.

Webinar emails to HCPs do very well.

Re-email to the segment that is performing best.

Open rate varies based on type of program by specialty.

Email is designed to capture at [see also bulk mailing services ]tention at [see also bulk mailing services ] point a, inform and deliver the recipient to point b.

Just in time emailing works -- email conference at [see also bulk mailing services ]tendees with your key events the night before along with presentations.

Here is a summary of conference highlights, as indicated by the Tweeters at [see also bulk mailing services ] the meeting.

1. Supporting the Physician/Patient Relationship: Leveraging the Digital Platform to Enhance the Opportunity for Dialogue.

The event began with Pre-Conference Workshops, including an excellent seminar entitled Supporting the Physician/Patient Relationship: Leveraging the Digital Platform to Enhance the Opportunity for Dialogue. Co-presenters Scott Tyson of Janssen and Beth Bengston of Hale Advisors gave a masterful overview of how to use digital media strategically. What emerged was a vision of Pharma 3.0 in which mobile devices are used to passively monitor patients, feed data into the electronic health record (EHR), trigger healthcare provider (HCP) interventions based on vital signs, and perhaps even adjust health insurance premiums based on therapeutic regimen and lifestyle compliance.

Those tweeting about the presentation noted 94% of EU physicians use smartphones, representing a great email opportunity!

2. Chairpersons Opening Remarks

In the Chairpersons opening remarks on Tuesday, June 26th, Sean OHagan of Daichi Sankyo cited the following statistics which were noted in tweets:

80% of US Physicians owned smartphones in 2011.

90% use digital resources during the work day

60% of physicians use digital resources during patient consultations;

There has been a 25% drop in sales reps since 2006

42% of offices with 10 or more physicians do not allow access to pharma sales representatives, making multichannel marketing including email crucial to deliver pharma promotional and educational messages.

OHagan noted that in todays world, all marketers are multichannel marketers.

3. Gathering insights from consumers cost-effectively

Lauren Pennington of Pfizer spoke on gathering insights from consumers cost-effectively, generating the following tweets from the delegates:

it is possible to create a great campaign on limited budget
Pharma isn't facing a marketing problem, it's facing a marketing opportunity

4. Current ROI Drivers for Multi-Channel Marketing

Janssens Tyson made an encore the on Tuesday on a panel answering the question What are the Current ROI Drivers for Multi-Channel Marketing, hosted by Mark Bard of the Digital Care Coalition. He was joined by Kelly Meyers, CEO of Qforma, and Carla Brooks, Regulatory Affairs Senior Manager, Medimmune. Those tweeting about the panel made note of several key points:

Passion and innovation are key at [see also bulk mailing services ]tributes of successful digital marketers

The ROI of individual channels is difficult to ascertain, according to Tyson of Janssen, so multichannel campaign ROI must be evaluated holistically rather than by individual tactic;

"ROI" figures are soft; too many steps in the process to directly tie to sales

Be able to explain to regulatory "Why are we doing this?" Regulatory is trying to enable but wants to know what we are trying to accomplish short, medium, long run. We do more damage when we follow the build it & they [see also mailing service ] will come philosophy & then dont do anything to advance that (argues for using email to promote digital solutions) - Carla Brooks, Medimmune

ROI of medium is wrong question--It's what you do with it-Scott Tyson, Janssen. Asking the what the ROI of email is would be like asking what the ROI of a pen is - if you use it to scribble, its non-existent; if you use it to write the formula for the cure for cancer, its astronomical.

Multichannel marketing is an ecosystem of interactions. Look at [see also bulk mailing services ] your audience as a network, not as individuals. Act on the network, not the individual node to create buzz Kelly Myers, Qforma

5. The Electronic Health Record

Rich Altus, President of PDR networks noted that approximately 400,000 physicians are using electronic health records (EHRs). About 70% of large practices are using EHRs, so the growth potential is among smaller practices. Not one [see also print services ] EHR has more than 60,000 prescribers, according to Altus.

6. Transforming relationship marketing from brand centric to enterprise-wide

Daniel Gandor of Takeda used his musical background to craft a metaphor about orchestrating the transformation of relationship marketing from a disconcerted brand-centric cacophony to an enterprise wide, customer-centric harmonious symphony.

The Twitterati shared the following key points:

Most pharma sites and email are not optimized for mobile even though HCPs are;

Takedas Uloric HCP relationship marketing program has 87,000 HCPs registered;

Non personal promo is taking larger role at [see also bulk mailing services ] Takeda -- email is the most cost effective tactic;

A robust engagement spectrum keeps the brand in front of the physician;

We're about to experience a shift in marketing. From a foc
