Parafarmacia alla Stazione

What Parafarmacia alla Stazione does

Beyond retail, the business sells paid in-store services including the BioTrico Test (€79) for food sensitivity and dysbiosis screening, plus free diagnostic services (blood pressure measurement, hair and scalp check-up) used as customer acquisition tools. Customer engagement is supported by an active educational blog on wellness topics (supplements, minerals, spirulina, exposome, skincare) and a monthly event calendar featuring nutritionists, psychologists, naturopaths, biologists, and aesthetic consultants. Revenue mechanics rest on three streams: physical retail, e-commerce with home delivery, and paid professional services, all directed at individual consumers in the Trieste area and the broader Italian domestic market.
