PPS® BUYERS GUIDE PROFILE:

The PPS Buyers Guide is a bilingual, multi-company, publication consisting of corporate contact information, product/price trade information, provincial formulary, distribution and terms of sale information. It is circulated, semi-annually, to English and French retail pharmacy owners/managers, hospital directors of pharmacy, retail chain head offices, wholesale buyers, buying groups, third party payers, health related associations and cancer care centers.

For over 18 years, PPS Buyers Guide has provided Canadian pharmacy and trade stakeholders with a readily accessible and portable reference tool that is accurate and up-to-date. It has been a successful communications and information management process whereby the drugstore/hospital market is updated bi-monthly via “Pharmacy Lighthouse”, a direct mail and newsletter service that enables all participating manufacturers to update their corporate and product listing information within the PPS Buyers Guide. This is accomplished through the use of permanent adhesive stickers, announcement letters, and through display advertising in the newsletter.

Our latest service, PPS Mobile, is to be launched in the fall of 2009. PPS Mobile is designed to provide the entire Canadian pharmaceutical industry with a secure and fully bilingual means to communicate with their customers via PC or Smartphone as well as the opportunity to manage their respective corporate and product listing information. This service will address the pharmaceutical information challenges of today, including the responsibility of ensuring that communications are accurate, timely and environmental consciousness. Before the launch, you can pre-register for the service at www.ppsmobile.com.
