Abstract:

Market analysis firm Datamonitor reports that increases in promotional spending by major pharmaceutical makers in past four years have caused each dollar spent on marketing to garner less in sales than previously; top drug companies generated $17 in sales from each dollar spent on marketing in 2001, down from $22.50 in 1998
