Overview
A Nairobi-based pharmacy wanted to increase brand visibility, drive walk-in traffic, and generate WhatsApp enquiries without relying solely on expensive ads.
They already had social pages but growth was slow, reach was low, and content was inconsistent.
They needed a system. Not random posting.
The Goal
The pharmacy wanted three real business outcomes:
• Become visible to people searching and scrolling locally
• Increase trust and brand authority
• Drive enquiries and in-store purchases
In simple terms: more attention → more conversations → more customers
The Strategy
Instead of treating social media as “posting”, we treated it as a customer acquisition funnel.
We combined:
Organic content → for reach and trust
Paid ads → for scaling and targeting
WhatsApp conversations → for conversion
This hybrid approach is what produced the results.
The Execution
1) High-Volume Reels Strategy (Organic Growth Engine)
Short-form video is currently the fastest organic reach tool on Meta.
We focused heavily on:
• Reels explaining health tips
• Supplement education
• Common medical myths
• Quick pharmacy advice
• Simple product showcases
Content was designed to be:
• Fast to consume
• Easy to share
• Highly relatable
• Locally relevant
Consistency was key: posting frequently so the algorithm keeps testing content to new audiences.
This created momentum.
2) Paid Boosting of Winning Content
Instead of creating ads from scratch, we let organic content do the testing first.
Top-performing videos were then boosted using paid ads to:
• Expand reach to new audiences
• Target local buyers in Nairobi
• Increase engagement and social proof
This removes guesswork and reduces ad costs.
We scale what is already proven to work.
3) Local Targeting Strategy
Ads were targeted to people:
• Living near the pharmacy
• Interested in health, wellness and supplements
• Likely to purchase from local businesses
This ensured the views were not random — they were commercially relevant views.
Attention from the right people.
4) Conversion Path via WhatsApp
Every piece of content pushed viewers to:
• Send a message
• Ask questions
• Enquire about products
Social media became a conversation starter, not just a branding channel.
And conversations turn into customers.
The Results (28 Days)
Here’s the raw performance from Meta Insights:
1,045,281 total views
Growth: +116%
14,215 3-second video views
Growth: +14,259%
1-minute views doubled (100% growth)
This means:
• Massive brand visibility increase
• Huge improvement in content discovery
• Strong audience interest and engagement
For a local pharmacy, crossing the 1 million views mark in one month is enormous.
Why This Matters for Business
Views alone don’t pay bills. Customers do.
Here’s why this metric is powerful:
When local people repeatedly see a pharmacy:
• Explaining health tips
• Showing products
• Educating the community
Trust builds automatically.
And trust is what drives:
• Walk-ins
• Referrals
• WhatsApp orders
• Repeat purchases
This strategy turns a pharmacy into the go-to health authority in the area.
The Real Impact
This campaign transformed the pharmacy from:
“Just another chemist shop”
into
“A familiar, trusted health brand people see daily”
And in local business, familiarity equals revenue.
