I'm surprised that Mannkind doesn't have an attractive (and succinct) printable brochure available online. The only thing I've found is a twenty-page "Getting Started on Afrezza" guide. I've been printing it out and leaving copies in hospital waiting rooms and doctors' offices in my town and surrounding areas. Obviously, my limited "marketing" hasn't helped the script numbers either. : ) But, at least I feel like I'm doing *something* to get the word out. Is anyone aware of such a brochure, either online or direct from Mannkind? They paid a marketing company last year to create some great new marketing strategy. This is where that retro in-out Thing was created that I honestly disliked and could not really remember at all. Is anything left from this campaign? There was a "test ad" and I assume that it is part af the kit for the sales guy. Irritating that you could not find it online.

The cost has not been revealed hopefully they got a good deal. I'm sure there will be other commercials besides Afrezza but it should be the only Insulin commercial

Matt and Mike, are you guys listening? Say something, respond to posts like this and explain to us why you are choosing not to do this....please I have lost a lot of my cash on this science. Because they aren't going to do something that would get them in trouble with FDA, and that likely would be ineffective because if doctors are reluctant about prescribing to adults, as we know they are, it would seem to be absurd that the reluctance would be less for children when clinical trials have not been done. And I doubt Matt and Mike read all the posts here. I would hope that don't spend their valuable time monitoring everything here. Dreamboat, I don't think that their time is that valuable at the moment.

Outside the box! The FDA could come down on Mannkind for advertising improprieties but could they harm a group making a statement? Here's where I'm going with this. We start a "go fund me page". I'll start it with a thousand dollars. With the funds we take out full page ads in major newspapers. The add has the photo of the child with all the needles. A simple statement at the bottom could say "Explore Inhalable Insulin". There could be a disclaimer at the bottom that says, "paid for by humans for the advancement of inhaled insulin"
I purchased MNKD as a private stock with retirement funds. It sickens me to see where we're at after approval and a product that works better than injectables. I appreciate positive feedback.

Explore Inhalable insulin.
Paid for by humans for advancement of inhalable insulin. Onset of activity for TI occurred ca. 25-35 minutes earlier than for Lispro. TI duration of action is about 2 hours shorter than an equivalent dose of Lispro. www.mannkindcorp.com/Collateral/Documents/English-US/Baughman%20poster%20100-LB%20FINAL%20X2.pdf

There are a large set of suggestions that boil down to doing things that are not allowed. Those I do not think of as better. There are also a number of suggestions here that boil down to things we know they are already executing on or exploring (if they've told us they are exploring it is obvious they aren't lacking for the idea). I'm trying to think of a suggestion I've seen here that doesn't fall into one of those categories, which might be a legitimate better idea. There might have been one or two, just not coming to mind. Only on my first cup of coffee this morning. Granted I've seen some hindsight suggestions that are better, such as doing a secondary offering when our share price was $10... but I don't actually remember people clamoring for that at the time (perhaps someone mentioned it).

Funny Montly Fool articles says MNKD may be one of the companies that may not make it to 2020.. the way MF hates MNKD suprised they are giving them three years. i didn't click on the article perhaps in the article it gives MNKD less time.. hopefully by 2020 they are not around because of a buyout !!!

Keith Speights is the writer, he ends the segment on MNKD with this, "For now, however, I'd say MannKind has a fighting chance of survival."

A picture is worth 10,000 words! Use this picture with the words "Breath it in or stick it in. Your daughter, your choice"

post a picture of needle girl with the question--"Breath it in or stick it in, Your Child, Your Choice!" How about, simply, "Don't let your child look like this!"... and then include information on Afrezza a la peppy . Obviously, I'm not an advertising genius. Just trying to get one more post. Does that make me a post whore? Don't let your child look like this!

They should hire Bill Clinton - "I actually inhaled Afrezza" or "Afrezza I did inhale" - It's a slow Saturday night.
