CVS Cyber Monday
CVS Cyber Monday deals are live now! Don’t miss the Biggest Online Shopping Day of the Year!
If you don’t know what Cyber Monday is, Wikipedia states that Cyber Monday is a marketing term for the Monday after Black Friday, the Friday following Thanksgiving in the United States, created by companies to persuade people to shop online. The term made its debut on November 28, 2005 in a Shop.org press release entitled “‘Cyber Monday’ Quickly Becoming One of the Biggest Online Shopping Days of the Year”.
According to the Shop.org/BizRate Research 2005 eHoliday Mood Study, “77 percent of online retailers said that their sales increased substantially on the Monday after Thanksgiving, a trend that is driving serious online discounts and promotions on Cyber Monday this year (2005)”. In 2010, comScore reported that consumers spent $1.028 Billion online on Cyber Monday (excluding travel, 2009: $887M), the highest spending day of 2010.
Store Overview of CVS.com
A Category of One
With the 2007 merger of CVS Corporation and Caremark Rx, Inc., we became an integrated provider of prescriptions and related health services with an unmatched breadth of capabilities. Today we’re the market leader in multiple categories and able to provide payors and patients with solutions that no pharmacy retailer or pharmacy benefits manager on its own could offer. For this reason, we are in a “category of one,” uniquely positioned to help people on their path to better health.
We can do this by providing end-to-end solutions that impact everything from pharmacy plan design to the ultimate delivery of products and services to customers. Our capabilities include industry-leading clinical and health management programs, specialty pharmacy expertise, leadership in retail clinics, customer service excellence, and our deep knowledge of the consumer gained through the more than five million people we serve every day, seven days a week.
One Company
What do you get when you combine the nation’s largest chain of retail pharmacies, a leading PBM, and the fastest-growing operator of retail health clinics? In CVS Caremark, you get a pharmacy innovation company with the potential to have a major impact on the way pharmacy and health care services in the United States are delivered. We plan to leverage our unique combination of resources to help payors control costs more effectively, improve patient access, and promote better health outcomes in a way that no other company can.
One View of the Patient
It won’t be long before every one of CVS Caremark’s plan members can walk into a CVS/pharmacy with the confidence that his/her Pharmacist has a complete overview of his/her individual medication history. That includes routine prescriptions filled in our stores, mail order pharmacies, or at CVS.com; participation in one of CVS Caremark’s leading health management programs; or a visit to one of our MinuteClinics. This unique view of the patient will, among other things, help CVS Caremark promote greater adherence with customers’ prescription drug regimens. That’s one of the keys to improving health outcomes while reducing health care costs for both patients and payors.
