Press Release

Well-managed shop windows are a great opportunity for the pharmacy

sept. 19, 2018
  • 39% of buyers remember the storefront vs 21% in 2014.
  • IQVIA and Shoppertec already have Farma Shopper 2018 results available.
  • Consumer Health's largest buyer and customer study at the pharmacy.

The Farma Shopper 2018 study, prepared by IQVIA and Shoppertec, shows that 39% of Consumer Health buyers in the pharmacy remember the showcase vs 21% in 2014. Although, there has been a lot of progress in recent years, there is still room for improvement, especially in small and medium pharmacies.

The pharmacy has improved the execution and the impact of shop windows on its clientele. This fact reflects that there is a greater awareness of the importance of the showcase as a key element to communicate its positioning and attract customers, as well as the evident influence of the laboratories in communicating the best practices in their execution.

It is recommended that pharmacies manage the showcase as an important element in the marketing plan of the pharmacy and not as a real estate asset. In addition, rely on laboratories with important brands for the pharmacy.

The laboratory should only invest if the showcase is effective. You must help the pharmacy design windows that work. Measure if they work and why it is vital to achieve the expected results and make the investment profitable

Pharma Shopper Study 2018

Farma Shopper 2018 is the largest consumer and customer study of Consumer Health in the pharmacy ever made in Spain.
