Why are the streets of the mainland full of pharmacies? What do they do to make money? Insiders tell the truth.
In the past few years, affected by the general environment, physical stores have been unable to survive, and they have closed one after another.
But everyone didn't notice a strange phenomenon, the streets are full of pharmacies, and they are opening more and more.
When did so many pharmacies open? Aren't pharmacies brick-and-mortar stores? Why are there more and more pharmacies opening when other types of brick-and-mortar stores are so difficult?
We have the most local Baokang and Ankang pharmacies, and I don't know why when I go to the street to see?
As long as a Baokang pharmacy is opened in any place, it will not take more than a week, and a new Ankang pharmacy will be opened next door.
I wonder if the relationship between these two pharmacies is too good or too bad.
A netizen said that they counted as many as 12 pharmacies in one township.
There can be so many pharmacies in a township, but what about first-tier cities?
When you walk down the street, you will see the most pharmacies.
It's like the streets are full of pharmacies, so why are there so many pharmacies? How do they make money? Let's listen to the truth from insiders.
There are many pharmacies, and that's because people are paying more and more attention to health now. Who hasn't had a minor illness or pain?
So, pharmacies have become an indispensable part of our lives.
Moreover, now many people have medical insurance, and it is much more convenient to buy medicines, which is one of the reasons why there are more pharmacies.
The other is that pharmacies can make money, and no one is stupid if they don't make money, as can be seen from the following four points.
The first point is that the reason why pharmacies can be full of streets is also related to the large profit margins of drugs
Although the price of drugs is controlled by the state, pharmacies still have a certain profit margin.
Especially those common drugs that everyone needs,
For example, cold medicines, fever reducers or something, the sales volume is large, and the profit is naturally high.
Second, health supplements and nutrition products are powerful tools for making money
Nowadays, people are pursuing health preservation, so health care products and nutrition products have also become a money-making tool for pharmacies.
These products tend to be more expensive and more profitable.
Isn't there such a saying? "Either you don't open or you open for three years", although this is a metaphor, but it just shows the high profit of these products.
Third, there is a large demand for medical equipment and supplies
In addition to medicines, pharmacies also sell some medical devices and supplies.
For example, blood pressure monitors, masks, band-aids, etc.
Although the unit price of these things is not high, they are in high demand and can also bring a lot of income to pharmacies.
Fourth, the success of pharmacies is also inseparable from their convenience.
Whether in urban or rural areas, pharmacies strive to be "close at hand", so that people can buy the medicines they need at any time.
This convenience is reflected not only in the location of the pharmacy, but also in the services it provides.
For example, some pharmacies also provide services such as drug consultation and medication guidance, blood pressure measurement, blood sugar measurement, etc.
Although these services may seem free, pharmacies may charge you a fee or recommend you to purchase related products.
Therefore, the reason why pharmacies can make money is because of the income from these four aspects.
However, although there are many pharmacies, we still have to be more careful when buying medicines.
Check the origin, production date, shelf life and other information of the drug to make sure that you are buying a regular drug!
Okay, that's it for today, what do you think about the more pharmacies are opening?
