Consistently generating £15,000/month in online sales (UPW)

This is a great case of the Ultimate Pharmacy Website (UPW) becoming the hub for the pharmacy, generating consistent monthly revenue, allowing them to grow in completely new directions, alongside their NHS journey

About This Pharmacy

The Challenge

• Expand online sales of POM's: Design an appropriate, secure online prescription system to sell Prescription Only Medicines while adhering to all applicable regulatory requirements.
• Online booking system for clinical services: They wanted to make it easier for patients to book appointments for their travel clinic, which requires a user-friendly and efficient system.
• Driving patient nominations: Patient nominations were important to create a loyal customer base and build the NHS side of the business.
• Supporting aspiring owners: The business owners do not want to stop growing and therefore need a team that they can depend on, and have the flexibility to build new website features & functionalities

The Solution

• Comprehensive Online Prescribing System: A safe and user-friendly system for selling/prescribing POM's, assuming full compliance with all regulatory standards.
• E-commerce Capabilities - They are taking payments through the website directly for their POM's and in-clinic services.
• Appointment Booking System: An integrated booking solution for the travel clinic, allowing patients to book appointments on the go.
• Optimised for Private Services & Products: The website had to be optimised for the private services and products that the pharmacy offered, so that it became more visible and accessible right from the launch.
• Patient Nomination Drive: They are driving patient nominations through the site, encouraging loyalty, repeat visits and upsell opportunities.
• Live Chat: They are highly responsive to customer queries about their services and products

The Results

Over the past 12 months of implementing the UPW solution, there have been fantastic results for the pharmacy:

• Sales Growth: The pharmacy generated £86,206 in sales through the online prescribing system and selling POMs online. This sharp increase in revenue comes as proof of the effectiveness of the digital platform in providing convenience to expand their market exposure.
• Clinical Service Appointments: There were 289 travel clinic appointments booked via the new system that show, in turn, the efficiency and convenience for patients to book appointments online.
• Patient Loyalty: The pharmacy was able to acquire 984 loyal patients. This turns around great patient experience and the power of programs in place to motivate patient referrals.

Sales in the last year show £82,206 from their prescribing clinic alone.
