I’ve always considered myself a bit of an early adopter of Facebook. I joined the social network back in 2004, before high schoolers, or anyone with an email address could join. Way before businesses had pages, and before paid advertising on the platform was even a thing. I've seen the evolution of Facebook to where it is today. Now, Facebook is the largest social platform on the internet with over 1 billion users and is a crucial component to marketing strategy for many businesses - big and small. 

One of the biggest complaints that we hear from pharmacists is about a lack of time – you’re struggling meet script quotas. You’re short staffed. You’re too busy. Marketing, just isn’t a priority.

If you own or manage a pharmacy and you don’t have or manage a Google Business page, you’re missing out. Aside from Google being the largest search engine on the internet, Google has in recent years, updated the way it helps businesses, customers and prospects connect.

For many children, swallowing tablets and capsules, especially for the first time, can be a difficult experience.

Recently, after picking my son up from daycare I noticed two things along my drive home. One, a small yard sign (similar to those of political campaigns) advertising a second location for a local independent pharmacy, and two, the chain pharmacy drive thru was yet again around the building blocking the entrance to the gym across the street. Later that same week, instead of taking my usual route home, I took a different way and went past that local pharmacy and realized exactly how close it was. But then I thought, how many pieces of marketing did it take or will it take to actually get me in the door?
