Pharmacy Modernization

European Pharmacy in recession

  • The business quality of medicine handling through the pharmacy has an inelastic profitability
  • The parapharmaceutical product material is placed on commercial channels outside the pharmacy
  • The liquidity of an average pharmacy is particularly overloaded
  • E-commerce companies, given the irregularities in their pricing policy on parapharmaceutical material train the consumer on a daily basis to confront the community worker in an occasional way.
  • The inadequate knowledge of business and commercial management by the community pharmacist – owner makes the management of the community pharmacy difficult.
  • The competition from large multinational chains affects the operation of independent community pharmacies.
  • The scientific background of the community pharmacist and the pharmacy employees certifies the operation of the community pharmacy.
  • The need of the consumers – patients to build relationships of trust, respect and love with their community worker.
  • The extensive list of consumer needs, in which today’s pharmacy has a small part.
  • The global “shift” from treatment to prevention.
  • The variety of contemporary marketing techniques & tools. The consumer is being “trained” on a daily basis to follow reliable sources of services & product material.
