You Deserve It!

Times are a changing… A Complimentary Gift for reading this message awaits you.

As Christmas fast approaches and we near the close of 2011 we’ve witnessed a lot of change over this past year.

As much as we all hate change there comes a time when we have to make BOLD CHANGES.

As a pharmacy business owner and fellow resident to Barrhead… we’ve witnessed some very scary, scary changes together. The old saying goes,  “Why disrupt the apple cart?” Even when things where going well… at the end of the day you have to answer to the person in the mirror.

Being an independent retailer has advantages. We get to call the shots and don’t have to take answers from someone higher up the food chain. In 2009 and 2010 we felt that control was starting to slip away and felt that you our loyal customer might start to look at us wondering if we had your best interests at heart. For 64 years the Fyfe’s family of customers continually tell us that we are one of the few people first stores left. Let me tell you, being bogged down in operations of the business doesn’t fit that bill. Change needed to evolve.

Here’s what transpired over this past year…

  • 1) Surveyed many of our customers and listened to what you had to say.
  • 2) The redevelopment of the Fyfe’s Thank You Club… changed to VIP Smart Shopper Club – to start giving back to customers on a more consistent basis and add excitement, fun and more rewards to lead the field in delivering more active family living for our clients.
  • 3) Changed banner to Apple Drugs – this will give us more control of our independent status. A better program for our clients and free up the owners time to work on VIP Club implementation, Pharmacy specific health initiatives, add more medical programs in the future.
  • 4) Shifting of advertising budgets so that more of this money goes back into our family of customers hands through the VIP Smart Shopper Club Program and placing more emphasis on patients living with healthier more active outcomes by supporting Pharmacist advanced trainings… a good example of this was the recent advantage many of you took by getting immunization injections in store by a dedicated pharmacist.
  • 5) Added supplementary ways to have a two-way-dialogue with customers. Started www.facebook.com/MyPharmacyBarrhead, this blog, YouTube Videos, VIP E-Gifts (Frequent Email gifts) and watch for VIP Surprise M-Gifts in December (get surprise savings and deals in the palm of your hand).
  • 6)Added additional savings programs for Family Enrichment book section, Home Office and Stationery and watch for more programs that you’ll surely appreciate in 2012 (I can’t reveal them right now because we are working hard to make sure we over deliver on our high standards of giving back to you our loyal customer).

The feedback on what we are hearing back about these changes has been very encouraging… we will definitely be expanding on this.

If you’re already a VIP Smart Shopper Club Member… please send me a small email to talktous@VIPSmartShopperClub.com (Attn: Shopper Lady Correspondent in the subject line) and tell us what you like most and what we might want to improve on. I will try to address your concerns on a timely manner. Plus, as always, I will send you a special surprise gift for taking the time to write me a note.

On behalf of the entire Fyfe’s family we are excited to bring you more fun and excitement in the coming months.

If you’re not a VIP Club Member… I encourage you to sign up today. Information is in the video below…

Those little buggers… Dust Mites in Bedding

A lack of energy is often triggered to allergies, Asthma, depression and congestion problems. When the real culprit is Dust Mites in our beds.

Here is a short 8 minute video that helps you understand a little more about what might be holding you back from enjoying your day with higher energy levels. (I don’t endorse or know who produced this video but I believe the content both factual and worth watching)

Well what do think? It sure explains some things – especially in areas with long, dry winters. It’s no wonder we often feel crappy.

Here’s some Dust Mite Facts:

  • House dust mites are microscope bugs that primarily live on dead skin cells regularly shed from humans and their animal pets
  • Dust mites are extremely common in the household
  • Dust mites can cause allergic reactions in asthmatics and others who are allergic to their feces
  • Estimates are that dust mites may be a factor in 50 to 80 percent of asthmatics, as well as in countless cases of eczema, hay fever and other allergic ailments
  • A typical mattress can contain tens of thousands of dust mites
  • Nearly 100,000 mites can live in one square yard of carpet
  • Ten percent of the weight of a two year old pillow can be composed of dead mites and their droppings

With over 27 years experience in the health and medical supplies business I have seen how big a problem allergies and congestion problems are for people in our community.

In my travels once in a while I come across a leading edge product that is going to make a huge difference to living a healthier life. The benefits of SilverClear™ has been in the health and medical communities for some time. SilverClear™ is the result of a patented technology developed by a team of researchers, manufacturers and health care professionals seeking a silver-based solution to heal severe burns and chronic wounds.

Now there is pretty strong evidence that SilverClear™ helps protect against harmful bacteria, fungi and mildew. It’s also been found to help reduce the symptoms of asthma. In fact claiming to be better than 99% effective.

For complete information feel free to check out more dust mites bedding prevention information here.

If you found this information helpful and would like to see more content like this please leave a comment and like this article so that we can help make a difference for more friends and family.

You can also check out the complete SilverClear™ bedding products in store as we are now an authorized dealer.

Talk soon… all the best to you and your family.
