Americans who are fed up with big chains and mail-order pharmacies should know there’s personalized, friendly service waiting for them at a nearby independent community pharmacy — and today, NCPA is launching a multi-million-dollar, multi-year advertising campaign to highlight just that! “We want Americans to rediscover their local, family-owned pharmacy, where they will get a much better experience and state-of-the-art health care,” says NCPA President Kristen Riddle. In our satirical commercials like “What I Love About Chain Pharmacies” and “What I Love About Mail Order,” customers heap ironic praise on all the wrong things before their scenarios are juxtaposed with other patients receiving care at their independently-owned community pharmacy. These ads and others will splash across national television over the next two weeks and then move to local cable, streaming TV, social media and online sites. 🔗 Learn more: ncpa.org/neighbors-not-… 🔗 Read our news release: ncpa.org/newsroom/news-…
