 | Smile about your dental care offerings
According to the American Dental Association, nearly 23% of U.S. adults aged 19-64 do not have dental insurance. This is an opportunity to create a robust dental care section in your pharmacy. Make your customers aware of the products you have that would keep them out of the dentist chair like electronic toothbrushes, fluorides and other rinses, water flossers, toothpastes, and more.
|  | Eye spy a great reminder
Consumers spend less than a minute at a shelf. If you want to move products quickly or one product over another, be sure to place them at eye level. The more prominent the location the more profit.

 | Shoppers feel good shopping neighborhood stores!
DID YOU KNOW...nearly half of shoppers say shopping in local "Mom & Pop" stores makes them feel good when shopping? According to a 2023 WSL Strategic Retail research study, this is a strength that is unique to local stores. Most shoppers did not say shopping in national chains, on social media or on websites like Amazon makes them feel good. This serves as a reminder that intangibles, like a familiar face and a welcoming smile, can contribute to a positive shopping experience at your store that not only makes shoppers feel good, but also more likely to return.
