5. Competitors Nonprofit and governmental websites. Large Web-sites.*Marvel search engine. Niche competitors. *Cholesterol.com *ClinicalTrials.com
6. Marvel’s Challenge Windham Pharmaceuticals, a drug company which MedNet cannot afford to lose, wants to make a new deal because Marvel ( a huge search engine) charges companies via Pay-per-click model which is cheaper. Marvel has larger audience.
8. MedNet Side If MedNet charges Windham Pharmaceuticals via Pay-per-click method,it will lose 80% of revenue. Increase the size of our audience. New contracts with companies. Long-term solutions won’t help.
9. Solution MedNet convinces Windham Pharmaceuticals that; audience gained via MedNet is more valuable than the ones gained via Marvel. Audience from MedNet comes with trust to brand, attraction to your products and most importantly customer loyalty.
