Drugs4All

Introduction

This article highlights participants at the Beauty West Africa Expo 2023 to be held at the Landmark Centre in Lekki, Lagos from 28-30th November 2023 (BWA 2023). It showcases top players in local and international markets for beauty, cosmetics, and wellness and allows them access to African businesses and business opportunities.

Company Background

A new player on the African horizon has appeared and will participate in this year's program. We introduce the innovative and dynamic pharmaceutical company Drugs4All. We will explore the company's story and why it has decided to be part of the Beauty West Africa experience.

The company has its origin in Bucharest, Romania. Its objective is to provide affordable low-cost medication and treatment that allows individuals and communities to save more money for other needs and still get treatment.

Company Goals and Objectives 

The mission is to partner with other leading suppliers and partners to provide low-cost medication across the globe.

Drugs4All is in the process of positioning itself to be a clearing house for all types of OTC (Over-the-counter) and prescription medication. In this regard, it aims to offer its customers, suppliers, and consumers an ever-expanding range of options.

The company is positioned to have access to several European markets and offers over 1,000 unique medical, pharmaceutical, and surgical products for wholesale.

The company takes pride in setting the highest standards both in its internal operation and in terms of selecting business partners and suppliers.

Prescription Medication

Company Product and Brand

Medical Devices

The company deals in medical devices produced by top brands in the market such as Roche, BD, Nexcare, Coloplast, Coratec, Monlicke, and Simon & Nephew.

Cosmetics

For cosmetics, its export range includes mascara, lipstick, nail care products, and perfume of all classes from high-end to affordable. It has a portfolio with width and depth including leading names like L'Oreal, Bioderma, Eucerin, Bichy, Belita &Vitex, A-derma, and Olay.

Product Sourcing

Generic products are products that are no longer under patent as the patent has expired allowing other players to produce at cheaper costs than the original. This is due to research costs no longer being a factor in pricing. Drugs4All specializes in generic products as a source of low-cost OTC and prescription medication.

The company has access to multiple sources of products in various markets and can source from one area to satisfy demand in another. This also allows the company to offer competitive prices for its products while also guaranteeing product quality.

Pricing and Payment Strategy

The company is positioned to offer the lowest prices for its products. The ultimate goal is to offer the consumers the lowest possible prices and allow for reduce spending. One way the company achieves these low prices is to buy from the market at low cost and sell where there is high demand and higher prices. This helps to reduce prices overall, increase competition, and break monopoly which is a major reason for high prices. Additional incentives provided by the company include guaranteed payments made on time, attractive prices, and a wide range of products.

Company Core Values

The company is committed to the highest ethical standards not only for it's business but also for all its partners and suppliers. The company ensures that all its parallel importers have native licenses for each product and market authorization to carry out business in each country of origin. These rules also apply to wholesalers who must also be licensed.

Generic Products are cheaper

New Strategic Relationships

The company is looking for strategic relationships across Africa to strengthen its global reach and market share. The desire is to achieve value creation at both ends of the relationship. Partners and suppliers should be easy to do business with, should display smooth operations with rapid decision-making processes.

Our Partners

Drug4All is looking for partnerships of the highest quality to drive its global business. These prospective partners must display capacity in the following areas:

• A high level of experience and knowledge of products and market.
• Ability to maintain exclusive relationships as customer-supplier.
• A commitment to creating value at both ends of the relationship.

Our Suppliers

The company is looking to collaborate with suppliers that must meet certain criteria which include:

• Suppliers that can deliver low production costs.
• Suppliers that can demonstrate ability for fast and proactive communication.
• Suppliers show high efficiency and flexibility in their operational processes and decision-making.
• Suppliers that offer short lead times and delivery within agreed timelines.

Lower prices equal savings

Opportunities for New Stakeholders

The company continues to expand its search for long-lasting, trustworthy relationships that provide benefits at both ends. The company is not focused on niches. Instead, it aims to expand its product categories and size of orders. Its ever-expanding bouquet of business opportunities is available for its partners and suppliers. These include:

• Access to expanding European markets and product portfolios.
• Good alignment for bright prospects and positive future growth.
• Access to European expertise and technical know-how.
• Access to expertise in parallel market operations.

Other benefits include:

• Mutual benefits at both ends of the relationship.
• High-quality and wide variety of product options.

New Opportunities on the Horizon

This company hopes to expand into African markets by partnering with local suppliers and partners to maximize the available opportunities that Europe and Africa provide. The company's demand for low-cost medication can cascade into a wealth of opportunity.

The company remains committed to making its impact felt by improving the lives of indigenous population and stakeholders with its introduction into the African market. By increasing collaborations and building a strong lasting relationship where information and knowledge are shared the company can bridge the gap that exists between the European pharmaceutical market and local African businesses.

About Me

       ***This article contains AD's and Affiliate links***

Hi!
My name is Udo,

My name is Udo Anyanwu

I'm a writer and content creator behind Sugarwhite Beauty Solutions Blog. This is where I share all I've learned over the past 10 years of being a marketer, retailer, and distributor of beauty and cosmetic products. In that time I've learned so much relating to the cosmetics industry. I've learned about its value chain, market dynamics, and its products and services. In addition, I have also developed skills and experience relating to sales, marketing, distribution, logistics, retail operations, and even product design and formulation. Oh, I almost forgot the business development and management skills that enable me to be able to set up a business from scratch and follow through until it's fully operational.

I read Mechanical Engineering but then went on to spend over 12 years as a banker. The sad day came when I was asked to leave because our bank was downsizing. After that experience, I decided to go into business for myself and try to explore my other skills and talents. It was a difficult and insecure period in my life and I had to make many difficult personal and career decisions. It cost me many friends and I sacrificed important relationships because of my choices.

Crazy about Tennis

Search for a way forward

After much soul searching I tried my hands on different small businesses but I found that none of these was challenging or exciting. They also didn't seem to be as lucrative as I had expected (or maybe I wasn't patient enough?) The worst thing was I wasn't making enough money to pay my bills or cover expenses and take care of my family.

                          

Things went from bad to worse. I spoke to an aunt of mine who lived in the United States. She offered to send me some cosmetics to sell in the hope that at least it would help to put some money in my pocket. We agreed to share the profit. I was skeptical because I had never really sold anything in my life by direct sales or networking. I had zero experience. However, there is no motivation like empty pockets so I started by reaching out to friends and acquaintances.

                  Relationships are Important

My Beauty Products Journey Begins

Surprisingly, in a few days, I had sold most of the products sent by my aunt. It included items like perfume, moisturizing lotion, bath soap, and makeup. I called up my aunt with the good news and she was amazed at how quickly I had sold my products. This led to her sending more products but most importantly I became fascinated by the industry and the opportunities it provided.

It was not long after this that I decided to go all in as a cosmetics retailer. I did a lot of research, developed a business plan, and started an apprenticeship with an established cosmetics retailer. I've been involved in cosmetics and beauty products ever since. 

I opened and managed my shops and stores. I also supplied products to large departmental stores and supermarkets. It's been an amazing journey filled with new and exciting experiences. You get to meet many wonderful people. I've gone to seminars, trade shows, training sessions, product launches, and even fashion shows.

How I Started My Blog

I started this blog several years ago as a way to gain knowledge and expertise. Each headline requires lots of research and study. It was like a super energized way of learning. The knowledge I gained was not only helpful in sales and marketing but it also gave me a wider perspective and greater appreciation for the industry. This blog was an important part of my growth and development as a cosmetics and beauty products marketer, retailer, and distributor.

I still remember the early days when I couldn't tell the difference between mascara and lipstick. Today some companies seek my advice and opinion when it comes to beauty products marketing and sales. It's quite humbling to realize just how far I have come but like the great Kobe Bryant once said "...It's not over yet!"

First to Beauty is a fitness

Sugar White Beauty Solutions Limited

My objective with Sugar White was to establish a retail products outlet and possibly go into wholesale and distribution. At the time I didn't realize the size of my undertaking and just how diverse and complicated the market was. However, my initial vision helped me to approach every segment of the Industry on equal terms and without bias. I gained an immense amount of knowledge as a result. Here is my simple breakdown of the Cosmetics and Beauty Industry.

Cosmetics and Beauty Industry is very wide and diverse. It consists of 5 distinct product segments:

1. Makeup

Makeup is the application of cosmetics to the face to enhance or alter one's appearance. Makeup includes foundation, concealer, eyeshadow, bronzer, mascara, lipstick, powder, and blush to mention just a few. Other uses of makeup include covering imperfections and creating different looks to compliment or contract one's moods and personality. Makeup is highly influenced by popular trends in fashion.

Some of the benefits of makeup are increased confidence, creativity, and self-expression

Some examples of Makeup brands are MAC, NARS, and Maybelline.

   

2. Hair Care

Hair care is the practice of maintaining, styling and enhancing the appearance, health, and texture of one's hair. Hair products are many and include lotions, gels, creams, sprays, shampoos, conditions, and various other items used to cleanse, style, protect and restore the condition of the hair. The various combinations of products combined with skilled stylists and other hair care professionals give the hair unique and sometimes dazzling appearances.  Some of the benefits of hair care are improved hair growth, reduced hair loss, increased shine and softness, and prevention of scalp problems.

Some examples of Hair Care brands are L'Oreal, Pantene, and Dove.  

 

  

3. Perfumes and Fragrances

Perfumes and Fragrances are fragrant products that are the result of the creative blending of aromatic substance in appropriate and distinct proportion These can then be applied to clothing, hair on the skin where it continues to permeate throughout the immediate environment. Perfumes are designed to be pleasant and attract favorable reactions and responses. Fragrances and perfumes can be classified as floral, woody, pungent, sweet, and spicy to name a few. Perfumes and fragrances can have various effects such as enhancing mood; attracting others; expressing personality; or evoking memories,

Some examples of Perfume and Fragrance brands are Chanel, Dior, and Gucci 

4. Skin Care

Skincare is the practice of taking care of our body's largest organ, the skin. This is done by using a wide range of products and product combinations plus various skin care routines and regimens. These are all dependent on the various skin types. Although no two people have the same type of skin, skin type can be broadly classified into dry, oily, and neutral. Skin care product types include moisturizers, cleansers, serums, sunscreen, face creams, exfoliators, toners, and facial masks. Skin care procedures include micro-blading, microdermabrasion, laser therapy, exfoliating, skin peels, and facials. Some of the benefits of skincare are improved skin health and appearance. 

Some examples of Skin Care brands are Clinique, Olay, Neutrogena, and The Ordinary.

5. Personal Care

Personal Care (or body care) products promote the general well-being and hygiene of the human body. It regularly overlaps with the 4 other groups but remains a distinct group in itself. Personal Care products include oral hygiene products like toothpaste and floss, grooming products for men, and private hygiene products for women. Others are toiletries, cleaning, and sanitation products like disinfectants and sanitizers. Personal care is important for a person’s dignity, health, and happiness. Some examples of  Personal Care brands are Colgate, Gillette, and Dove.

                Winning is a life's journey

Planning for the future

Presently I've decided to renew my commitment to the industry by refreshing my blog with new content and also updating existing posts and articles (old success formulas never fail) Hopefully I can also provide more value to my audience who appreciate honest and unbiased information on products and services. I will try to be more engaging, insightful, and succinct in the quality and quantity of information I provide.
