Kikaku’s strong public relations program leads to hundreds of unsolicited requests monthly for each of the survey reports we publish. Kikaku is an independent provider of information for buyers of PBM services and for benefit plans, benefit managers, HMO/PPO pharmacy and medical directors, and chain drug store decision-makers. Kikaku mails survey questionnaires to get the comments and reactions of health-care professionals, such as medical directors, consultant pharmacists, directors of nursing, geriatric nurse practitioners, employers, HMO/PPO medical directors, pharmacy directors, PBM/mail service patients, and other medical and advocacy related groups. The reports then are distributed at specified national health-care meetings and conventions, and to major MCOs, PBMs, and employers. We personally organize presentations about on our reports, free of charge, to be given at many important managed care meetings for the purpose of answering questions and promoting the reports. These meetings are well attended.  Kikaku also receives favorable major media exposure for all its reports.

 

In addition to preparing highly successful survey reports, Kikaku conducts a NETsendex program. This involves analyzing the web sites of its pharmaceutical clients on a monthly basis to determine the search engine visibility and ranking of their products as compared to those of their competitors, and to make recommendations where needed to increase their product rankings along with awareness and viewership of their web sites. 

What sets us apart from other companies that publish reports or enduring education materials is our expertise in creating successful trend reports.
