How the Rx Factor in Retail Loyalty is Evolving
The article explains that pharmacy loyalty initiatives are a factor of differentiation that emphasizes convenience and special services – such as same day prescription delivery, subscription programs, and digital records. Pharmacy benefits on store credit cards is an additional loyalty offer.
“The pharmacy team can be a consumer advocate,” said Jerry Janis, director of Clarkston Consulting.
“Some people visit pharmacies more often than [they visit] doctors. Pharmacy loyalty becomes key in building retailer loyalty.”
“If a pharmacy can save you $400 and you take home less than $2,000 monthly from Social Security, that’s a big lift in your capability to spend on other merchandise,” Janis said when describing how seniors are some of the biggest spenders in this market.
