OTC packaging with added value

With the beginning of the corona pandemic, the over-the-counter (OTC) pharmaceutical market is experiencing a high degree of volatility.

The strong fluctuations in sales and the strengthening of online mail order companies intensify the challenge for all pharmacists: Consistent multi-channel communication in all offline and online channels.

Added values illustrate customer benefits 

Here it is worth taking a look at the FMCG industry: In this market, manufacturers have long been working successfully with added value for their products. The advantage: added value equips a product with features that clearly set it apart from competing products. This attracts the consumer's attention to your product, which in turn has an effect on sales success.

The cost of the added value must not exceed the economic success of the additional sales. To meet this challenge, you need clever value-added ideas that you can implement for your products with little effort. If the product added value is a clear additional benefit for the consumer, you can add it to your communication mix with little effort.

With this strategy, you combine two products into an unbeatable duo that stands out from the competition. To achieve this, you combine both products with a pharmaceutical label that can have very different characteristics, such as

• 100% recyclable from mono-material: The pharma label can be printed with a promotion text that clearly emphasizes the added value. Disadvantage: The product text on the folding cartons is challenging to read.
• Transparent & perforated: Here, the customer can read all product texts on the packaging easily. Disadvantage: the consumer benefit must be communicated elsewhere.
