The pharmacy how to maintain strength in a crisis

nearly 10 in Drugs retail developmENT, will be the introduction of fine chain drugstore management time, especially this year's triggered by the global economic crisis, a large number of corporate bankruptcies, unemployed workers will result in future years spending by the hands of less and less money, particularly to the recENT devaluation of the Renminbi will make a substantial price increases of consumer goods will eventually dampen pharmacy customers common to the great Health products and medicines purchased and reserves of enthusiasm, some observers believe that," span> 2009 of retail pharmacies that will feel the economic crisis depressed business brought the situation and new labor contract law implemENTation, making business labor costs more soaring, so business survival space will become increasingly narrow, to the currENT situation is, So for most businesses," cutting"naturally become a top priority of a job.

here the first thing I want to note is that we are talking about" Throttling " only is the section unnecessary operation which The expenses , rather than indefinitely to reduce spending, There is a saying speak it well" does not save the wife, not be headed wife", since we have talked about " Throttling ", then do not just save nuances , or so a dialect"you could save on the province, not a penny is not the province province", then what is"to the province?" Can save a rENT, utilities and more loss or waste, DM list, do not use the value of the staff salaries, " expired, invalid"due to invENTory loss, etc....... then what is" not the province of"mean? For example: Some pharmacies to save some electricity, even light can not bear to open the shop, and even some not even opened all the store lights; phones are reluctant to let customers play; in order to reduce spending, the promotions do not do, these are not the province of. so indefinitely to reduce expenses, the operation of the pharmacy, it is harmful to beneficial .

so humble opinion the following points to the author to talk about how to chain drug stores to reduce expenditure.

first agreemENT with the developers that we can rent, you can sign 5-10 year long-term lease contracts, and requiremENTs in the contract rent is paid on a quarterly basis to do so, invisible to us is equivalent to reducing the payment of bank interest; some time, and the developer or landlord we will talk to each other We bear some of the decorating for the costs, because to do so, on the other side, it can also be understood as property rights, after all, is their thing!

Second, we can also improve the ping efficiency, enhanced store merchandise display fullness, do not waste each section counters, shelves vacant; the same time we can also store in the idle area, leased to companies for display or for the postal company Duitou consignmENT types of books, newspapers, milk for the milk delivery and other services the company provides marketing purposes, this is the same is to reduce the rental cost of the pharmacy.

stores in order to avoid too and more an"expired, invalid" products, specifically to establish the appropriate mechanisms for early warning and treatmENT promptly reported to the headquarters of slow-moving species, coordinated by the headquarters to other marketable store sales; headquarters will be slow moving and almost valid species redeployed to other stores, you can also arrange for staff promotion, to adjust these"problem" species of shelf space and display faces, and give some appropriate promotional support.

we should to encourage staff from the" start bit"establish conservation awareness, for example, we can specifically create OA and other modern communications office systems for conservation telephone charges; order to achieve the paperless office, phone calls and sENT faxes to minimize the frequency, we can ask the business E-mail sENT to the supplier procurement plans; implement in order to ensure energy conservation, We should also rated the various departments and the cost of standard office stores.

order to facilitate the conservation spending, I believe that we can streamline the stores is low number of available personnel, and strengthen the training of existing staff, and gradually improve operational backbone of the staff salary.

mechanism to establish a reasonable cost estimate is also launching the"cutting" the key to pharmacy work.For example: we can store operating expenses during the calculation of the link after the list came out good, and then try to control monthly expenditure within the budget; if there is unnecessary links, consider reducing or deleted, so that the business ENTerprise expenditures are in the scheme, the so as to achieve the purpose of ensuring store profit.

to the pharmacy, the author believes that the most important is to improve the quality of service marketing, do their business, improve pharmaceutical care the level of"open source" is the most critical work,"open source" is the most effective"throttle" approach, because the cost of doing business is limited, but the"Open Source & rdquo ; but not least, the proportion of business expenditure is variable, with the increased revenue can be gradually decreased.
