The benefits of installing a pharmacy cross before flu season

We’re well into summer now, with winter only a few months away. It’s a hard time of year for a lot of people, particularly the elderly and the vulnerable. With the lack of heat, and increased likelihood of cold and flu spreading, more and more people will be looking for the pharmacy.

Here at Scanlite, we specialise in providing LED digital signage to suit a variety of different needs – and that includes LED pharmacy crosses. Our signs can help your business to become a focal point within your town or city, and if you run a pharmacy, we’d highly recommend installing one of these before the winter months roll in, as it will provide your business with range of benefits.

Maximum exposure for your business

Our digital pharmacy signs utilise ultra-bright LEDs to draw the attention of your customers, even under intense sunlight, so that they’re easily legible at any time of day. They’re also designed to be highly energy efficient, with a robust construction that requires very little upkeep – so you can enjoy the benefits of maximum exposure for your pharmacy with minimal costs involved.

This kind of exposure is vital for attracting potential customers to your establishment, particularly during those dark winter nights where visibility is low. Plus, the people who tend to spend the most time visiting pharmacies are often the old and vulnerable, who can often be visually impaired. So, it’ll be far easier for them to spot your pharmacy from a distance if you provide them with a bright sign to follow.

A variety of display options

LED digital signage for your pharmacy gives you the option to connect with your customers, and communicate key messages as well as useful information to them, in order to draw them into your premises. You can use your digital pharmacy cross to show the time, date, temperature, or other pictures or custom messages. (For example, you could use it to highlight your opening or closing times, or available stock levels of certain products or medicines.) These displays can be easily updated too, so you can adapt to changing trends and customer demands.

During the winter months this is a particularly useful feature, as you’ll be able to advertise reminders regarding flu jabs, COVID-19 booster shots and general opening and closing times.

Regardless of the time of year, it’s always important to ensure that your pharmacy is clearly advertised. However, this is even more so the case in winter, when people are more susceptible to illness. So, it’s vital that you have the means at your disposal to display any helpful information that you can, in the most clear and concise way possible. That’s where we can help.

Here at Scanlite, we provide a variety of pharmaceutical displays, such as; LED Pharmacy crosses – ultra bright LCD window displays and indoor LED tickers which can be tailored to suit a variety of needs and locations.
