Cough-cold marketer opts for app

MOUNT KISCO, N.Y. — Prestige Brands became one of the first cough-cold marketers to develop a branded smart-phone app to help moms hone in on the most appropriate 
PediaCare remedy for their sick children. It’s not a bad play; a recent Millennial Media report indicated that in 2010, 32% of moms owned a smart phone, versus 20% in 2009.


The new PediaCare iPhone app coincides with the launch of PediaCare’s new, safe and effective cold-flu-fever medicines — with and without acetaminophen — that match the formulations of children’s Tylenol products that were recalled.
