Project

The customer Svetnaya (what in English stands for ” color ”) is one of the largest pharmacy chains in Kazakiztan. Its always expanding network includes fifty pharmacies in nine cities around the country and covers 8% of the local market. Its mission implies creation of New Generation pharmacy of the European level, with modern sales techniques and where one can easily receive the best professional advice .

For the pharmacy in Aport Mall in Almaty Sartoretto Verna worked out a special rebranding campaign of the chain having analysed its location, structure, communication and merchandising sector. The notion of “Services” was newly introduced there. Moreover a special training was held in Rome for the managers of the pharmacy. Experts of the pharmaceutical and make up industry took part in it. Implementation time was really fast; only two months passed from the project presentation in Rome till its inauguration. The expected delivery date was observed. The project “Aport” is a part of restructuring of the entire chain which includes, besides this, the realization of another pilot store that will soon be opened in a new shopping center Mega2, destined to become the largest shopping center in Central Asia.

Sartoretto Verna concept for Svetnaya pharmacy

The pharmacy chain Svetnaya is characterized by modern look, vivid and rich colors. According to the traditional values ​​of the brand, the pharmacy must take care of health and beauty of its customers,it  must offer simplicity and accessibility.For that Sartoretto Verna developed a new detailed concept. The pharmacy can boast amazing design with glass décor and aluminum, diffuse but not invasive light, clear communication and marketing space . The goal is to create an atmosphere where the client feels at ease but at the same time the client is stimulated and distracted from the  monotonous shopping, what gives him a unique experience. According to Sartoretto Verna vision ” the environment is not only the visual component, it is also sensations which can be conveyed only after living the place apart from only seeing it”.

The logo in Aport pharmacy is implemented in the shape of flower chain. There is a special place for consultation and prevention services at the center of a room, which is situated under the starry sky with golden light premarin medication. Two series of displays representing the petals are arranged inside and outside the circle. The customer can walk freely in the pharmacy but still the entire pharmacy cannnot be seen, the client has the pleasure to discover new products and corners. A single color associated with the colors of the logo was attributed to each commodity according to a special scheme which will be applied to the entire chain. Such a system gains public loyalty: consumers have an incentive to come back to the pharmacy because they can easily find the products in each drugstore of the chain thus becoming habitual customers.

Two single- seat counters were placed at the entrance and represent a welcome area. For the first time the custode here is no longer at the mercy of the product, the client is informed and helped to choose. A professional team is always at client’s disposal, in addition to that there are specialized areas for consultations, care and beauty treatments. Welfare is the common goal for Sartoretto Verna. A pharmacy which cares about all this increases its profits because consumers buy from the one who is able to provide a precious piece of advice.

A thorough study was made in order to improve the window and sign of the pharmacy, so that to take advantage of the great location of the pharmacy in a mall just in front of a store with high attendance. To attract customers the window is completely transparent that gives the possibility to see the interiors of the pharmacy which seems incredibly deep thanks to the special layout; the ceilings and bright colors of the furniture make the place visible from the half way. The result is an increase of impulse customers.

A few days after the beginning of October the flow of visitors in the shop defenitely increased.This concept worked out by Sartoretto Verna is already a success, which only strengthens original  image of the brand Svetnaya, approved by its customers and helping to increase sales.
