1) Offer free blood pressure and Blood sugar tests. These hardly cost anything
and if anyone gets diagnosed with something ..you can be sure that after their
doctor prescribes them something they will come to you to buy their meds. In
fact..you can even mention a discount if they buy their monthly meds from you.
(pressure and diabetes patients will have recurring meds for their lifetime so a
customer like that is gold)
Note: In my country a certified pharmacist was allowed to perform the above
tests. Check your country rules.
2) Advertise an offer where you give away a free blood sugar machine. Have
strict eligibility rules such as the presentation of medical records so you can
verify that they have diabetes. I used to get a few machines for free from my
supplier when I bought the testing strips. You could talk to your supplier and do
a joint promotion.
This worked really well for me because the margin on the testing strips was
really high so i made quite a bit of money from customers who came back to buy
their strips from me.
3) Be really really good with the little bit of foot traffic you have. I used to use
cosmetic products as loss leaders. A lot of customers would come to buy a Gilette
Razor and then end up buying their monthly meds from me.
TeleVision marketing - high absolute costs but low cost per exposure, appeals to
sense of sight sound and motion
Newspapers - Flexibility and lower cost than television
Direct Mail - High audience selectivity, flexibility, no advertisement competition
within the same medium, allows personalisation. expensive cost per exposure
due to "junk mail"
Magazine - High geographic and demographic selectivity, credibility and
prestige, high quality reproduction and long life and good pass-along readership.
long purchase lead time and high costs
buying kiosk - quick to meet demand, cheap to maintain. low exposure
Sales promotions - 20% off items, dilutes brand image and may not be
appropriate
sales incentives - mainly for salesman commisions, may be expensive to
company
referrals - ask your current customers if there is anyone that might be interested
in your product.
