Good news for you, we have a lot of marketing resources for drugstore owners

1. What is your drugstore’s location type?

Small-town or low-competition area Large city or high-competition area

High-competition urban areas often require more aggressive marketing and higher budgets to stand out.

2. Do you have a website with e-commerce functionality?

No Yes

Running an online store typically requires ongoing maintenance, SEO work, and paid ads to drive traffic.

3. What type of content do you plan to prioritize?

High-quality product videos Customer testimonials Behind-the-scenes Health tips and wellness advice Promotional offers

More polished content (like high-quality videos or testimonials) generally requires higher production costs.

4. On how many social networks do you want to post?

2

Popular platforms for drugstores include Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, and sometimes LinkedIn. The more platforms you manage, the more resources you’ll need.

5. Are you planning to hire a dedicated social media manager?

Yes No

Running a busy drugstore leaves little time for marketing. A dedicated manager increases costs but ensures a consistent online presence.

6. What is your drugstore’s positioning?

High-end / premium (organic, specialized health products) Mid-range (quality & fair prices) Budget-friendly / popular drugstore Specialized / niche drugstore

Premium drugstores often require more polished branding and marketing, whereas budget stores can spend less on high-end visuals.

7. How intensively do you plan to invest in paid advertising?

5

A higher level means more spending on Facebook Ads, Instagram Ads, Google Ads, etc.

8. Do you supply to clinics, hospitals, or other retailers (B2B)?

No Yes

B2B marketing often requires additional outreach, networking, and possibly LinkedIn ads or trade show presence.

9. How frequently do you launch promotions or limited-time offers?

Occasionally Regularly

Stores with frequent deals often spend more on advertising to promote their offers.

10. Do you plan to work with local health influencers or wellness experts?

No Yes

Collaborations with local influencers or wellness experts can boost your brand’s visibility but require a dedicated budget.

11. What is your approximate monthly revenue? ($) Many businesses budget 5%–10% of revenue for marketing. We'll use 5% as a baseline and then adjust based on your other answers.
