Merchandising in pharmacies is a set of efficient rules and techniques, which enable to achieve significant growth in turnover of a pharmacy and, consequently, resulting profit. Each and every pharmacy is a trading organization with its strongly pronounced peculiarities, which define ways of promoting products in it.
Let us emphasize that pharmacy merchandising implies promotion of over-the-counter (OTC) drugs, general medical products and other related items.
While taking on merchandising tasks, it is necessary to determine list of articles that will be available in an outlet with a price range, and to choose methods and types of goods layout and accompanying promotional materials. Properlyorganizedpharmacymerchandisinghelps:
Appropriate goods layout and space zoning, which are components of merchandising itself enable:
Pharmacy merchandising uses a wide range of techniques, both generally used in other industries and specifically applied in pharmacies only. Its rules are based primarily on psychology of would-be customers.
Generally, people are quite shy about their own health: many pharmacy visitors prefer to choose a drug, taking into account only pieces of information provided on a showcase. If a person goes astray in the variety of medications displayed he can simply leave without asking pharmacist any questions.
Hence it’s important to have all medicines proposed clearly divided into groups by disease (so-called treatment groups) so that customers could see and understand it.
Placement of treatment groups should stimulate purchase of “adjacent” goods, i.e. those that may also be necessary with account of customer’s issues.
Merchandising in a pharmacy is primarily about laying out goods and their placement in the areas of a trading floor, which stimulate interest and customer demand. It is extremely important how zoning of a trading floor working space will be carried out. Let’s name major principles that should be followed while placing the goods around pharmacy trading space:
Merchandising in a pharmacy also includes basic rules common to goods layout, such as rules of goods allocation by levels, various characteristics and features, rules of visual perception and others.
Merchandising in a pharmacy is inconceivable without smart use of POS and promotional materials of all kinds.
POS materials should be increasingly used for the most profitable articles of pharmaceutical product range. Would-be customers expect the highest informational value and level of clarity from an advertisement of a pharmacy. These are the types of promotional products that can prompt a person to buy. That said, the language of informational and promotional materials has to be understandable for and average customer, i.e. free of complicated medical terminology, but without excessive simplification.
