What does Rx EDGE
do?
Rx EDGE specializes in promoting pharmaceutical
brands in the retail pharmacy environment. Our
products include at-shelf and pharmacy counter
information dispensers, counter mats and other
customized in-store media.
What is the affiliation with LeveragePoint
Media?
LeveragePoint Media is a provider of consumer
oriented in-store marketing solutions and
services. Rx EDGE is the direct-to-consumer
pharmaceutical marketing division of
LeveragePoint Media.
Your programs are sold on a “category exclusive”
basis. What does that mean?
In the course of a program cycle, we permit only
one Rx brand per category to be featured. If you
are promoting a sleep aid product, for example,
yours will be the only prescription brand in
that category for the duration of the purchased
cycle(s).
Can you accommodate extensive PI/PPI on the inserts that are placed in your
information dispensers?
We are continually working on new insert formats
and sizes that will be capable of communicating
PI/PPI of substantial length.
What are the leadtimes involved to do a program?
Please go to our Cycle Calendar section for
information on key dates. Your Rx EDGE sales and
production teams will work with you to develop a
schedule and will advise you of critical
milestones in the process, such as deadlines for
contracts, art, and signed proofs.
In what locations in the store can my
information dispenser be placed?
The in-store placement of Rx EDGE information
dispensers is an important strategic decision
and varies from brand to brand.
- Over half of
Rx EDGE dispensers are installed at the
shelf in the OTC aisle that corresponds with
the manufacturer’s product. For example,
information regarding a prescription
treatment for osteoporosis would typically
be placed in the calcium supplement section.
- Nearly 30%
of Rx EDGE placements are at the store’s
pharmacy counter.
- Other
programs are installed in the Beauty section
or in other locations that most closely
conform to the manufacturer’s product or
target audience.
- All
placements are subject to retailer approval.
How do you determine the effectiveness of
your programs?
Rx EDGE is one of the few DTC vehicles for
which results can be reliably measured. The
impact of our programs is measured through
an independent research company that
analyzes weekly TRx and/or NRx script sales
data using a matched-panel technique. See
Measured Results for more details on our
methodology and results.
How many in-store programs have been
implemented with Rx EDGE?
In the last two years alone, we have
implemented more than 120 Rx EDGE programs
spanning a multitude of therapeutic
categories and pharmaceutical brands.
What kinds of brand objectives can be
achieved through using Rx EDGE?
Rx EDGE programs have been successfully used
to fulfill a number of objectives---trial,
adherence, disease-state awareness, and
patient education.
What is the reach of the Rx EDGE program?
Across the full retailer network, Rx EDGE
delivers over 200 million total impressions
with a U.S. household reach of 18%.
How many retailers are in the Rx EDGE
network?
Our network is comprised of more than 18,000
outlets in Chain Drug, Mass and Supermarket
channels. Our Retail Network section has a
list of participating pharmacies and
location maps. We are continually updating and expanding our network.
If you are interested in promoting in a retail outlet that is not on our current list, please
let us know. With adequate lead time, we can frequently accomodate specific requests.
How much do Rx EDGE programs cost?
Costs vary depending upon the number of
stores, the Rx EDGE product selected, and
other factors. Contact us for more
information. We will be happy to develop a
detailed proposal based upon an assessment
of your goals.
