Market Analysis
Examples
The GoodRx Pharmacy's target market consists of two different groups, local
GoodRx customers or walk-ins, and mail-order customers.
The GoodRx Pharmacy will employ two different strategies to reach these two
diverse market segments.

Market Segmentation
The GoodRx Pharmacy's customers can be broken down into two different groups, mail order customers and
walk-in customers:
Examples
This group of customers orders their medication through the mail in an effort to
GoodRx save money. Generally, the mail order customers are older in age, typically over
50. In general, elderly customers consume more medication relative to younger
people. The mail order customer will typically purchase maintenance medications

- prescriptions for an ongoing ailment that requires regular treatment. This group

of customers will also be more likely to purchase several months of medication at
Mail order customers
Examples
This group of customers are also looking for the lowest prices for their medication.
GoodRx However, they tend to purchase medications monthly at their local pharmacy,
often at a higher price. There is not a common demographic for this group of
people, other than living in the Portland metropolitan area. Some of these
customers will pay for the medications out of pocket and some will submit a claim

to their insurance company for reimbursement at a later date.

Target Market Segment Strategy
Examples
The GoodRx Pharmacy will seek to attract two different groups of customers and
GoodRx will thus have two strategies to attract them.

through the mail. These customers will be targeted through an advertising
campaign in magazines and newsletters that have an older (>55) audience More

regularly need medication and are aware in advance of their needs. For example,

Strategy and Implementation
The GoodRx Pharmacy will use their website to develop visibility and disseminate information.
Competitive Edge
Examples
The GoodRx Pharmacy's competitive edge is superior pricing. To do that we must
GoodRx maintain our position as the low cost provider by painstakingly ensuring that costs
are kept low through operating efficiencies.
We will be able to do that by eliminating some of the services traditionally offered

by pharmacies. For example, we will employ only one pharmacist and use
