Smith Kline’s
mistakes … they did not take Zantac seriously;
never establish any brand loyalty;
they did not have a plan to deal with side effects;
did not exploit improvements in dosage;
Egocentric defence: relied on own history and did not
focus in client needs for information;
did not allocate enough budget to promotion;
confused own costumers (new dosage) with poor
communication;
advertised arrival of Zantac to its own customers;

because of his strengths.

treatment of gastrointestinal disease and the entire

1. Put marketing strategy first: give Marketing Director
profit and loss responsibility; establish crossdepartment collaboration with R&D and operations.
2. Focus on treatment area of gastrointestinal disease
not just selling Zantac. Establish complementary
relationships with over the counter and other
prescription drugs in this treatment area and/or
acquire companies that do so.
3. Maintain and enhance model for sales
representatives through linking increased revenue to
specific sales effort. Continue co-marketing with
complementary treatment areas and drugs.
RECOMANDATIONS …

4. Make corporate commitment to public awareness
and education regarding gastrointestinal disease and
treatments (male charitable contributions, sponsor
events, conferences). This includes anti-smoking
campaigns as this is a risk factor for GI disease.
5. Further develop market potential: focus on aging
populations and smokers. Establish local management
to begin working with doctors, hospitals, insurance
companies, health care industry and regulators to
understand specific gastrointestinal disease and
treatment issues markets.
6. Expand product range: acquire or collaborate with
over the counter and prescription drug treatments.
