Weather drives sales for the Pharma, OTC, Health & Beauty industry

The weather has a massive impact on the health, wellness, pharmaceutical and OTC industry. It can affect various aspects of physical health (think common colds, arthritis, migraines, hay-fever, sunburn, dehydration etc) as well as mood and mindset (for example seasonal affective disorder, or the propensity to spend more on sunny days). By leveraging the WeatherAds platform, brands can anticipate and influence consumer decisions at the precise moment of action.
