Description:

Develop a Comprehensive Pre-Launch Trade and Distribution Strategy for Specialty Products

Tony Lanzone, Vice President and head of our Trade and Distribution Practice will present a session on developing a comprehensive pre-launch trade and distribution strategy for specialty products.

Abstract:

Flawlessly executing a launch — both in terms of strategy and tactics — is critical to the long-term success of a product. To successfully execute the launch of a specialty product in today’s marketplace, manufacturers need a structured approach to address critical questions and to evaluate the needs and requirements of the asset. When developing a trade and distribution strategy in preparation for launch, it is essential for manufacturers to clearly understand the three primary fulfillment channels — retail, specialty pharmacy and physician buy-and-bill — and to develop a strategy that best aligns with the channels that are instrumental to the commercial success of the asset. This session provides delegates with a framework for developing a comprehensive pre-launch trade and distribution strategy for their specialty product.

  • Evaluate potential distribution strategies and fulfillment channels
  • Align product, physician and patient needs with distribution strategies and partners
  • Determine appropriate trade partners
  • Develop trade partner agreements (i.e. fee-for-service, incentive programs)
  • Execute and monitor trade launch strategy
