CVS Thought Starter CVS/pharmacy famously halted the sale of all tobacco products on Sept. 3, 2014, a move that has opened the door to more changes from the retailer in response to shopper demand. Some of the in-store areas designated for improvement in 2015-2016 are the food and aisles, which promise to stock more health-minded selections, and the beauty department, which is striving to give shoppers more of their favorite brands from which to choose.

Must-Know Terms ExtraCare. CVS’ highly regarded loyalty program is in its 16th year and has more than 90 mil- lion members. One of the most sophisticated systems in retail will continue to be a main focus as CVS recently leased a new digital innovation lab in Boston to help gain even deeper insights from its extensive consumer data. Integration Sweet Spots. A major distinction between CVS and other retailers is that the retail component, CVS/pharmacy, is just a small part (15%) of a broader healthcare company, CVS Health. The integration sweet spots are found at the intersection of all the organizations’ busi- nesses including retail, walk-in health clinics and pharmacy benefit management. The retail business is expected to become a significantly larger part of the overall equation over the next several years.

Rite Aid Thought Starter Rite Aid favors activity that bundles shopping solutions with rewards tied to its customer loy- alty program. The Wellness+ program has played a key role in generating improved business results and strengthening Rite Aid’s position as a wellness destination.

Must-Know Terms Wellness+ with Plenti. Rite Aid introduced its Wellness+ loyalty program in 2010 and re- branded it “Wellness+ with Plenti” in May as it joined the first U.S.-based coalition loyalty program. Operated by American Express, the free Plenti program lets members accrue and redeem points across various participating companies linked through a single rewards card.

Wellness Ambassadors. Specially trained Wellness Ambassadors staff kiosks in the middle of remodeled “Wellness” format stores to provide enhanced customer service and facilitate pharmacist-patient interaction. Wellness Ambassadors have played a key role in reminding shoppers about Rite Aid’s immunization services, one component in the chain’s strategy to expand pharmacy services.
