There are a few related concepts here. Most of this article is about medicine and I think it should keep the "seeding trial" name because medical research is almost always called a trial while the term is less common in other fields. The non-medical content could be forked into an article called "product seeding" which would be a general category including medical and all other use, and contain all the marketing content.
