THE SPOTS
Two :30s highlight "what makes CVS/pharmacy the leading drug store in America." "Extra Care" illustrates that CVS customers received more than one billion dollars in savings and rewards with their Extra Care cards by showing workers tossing money out of an airborne plane. Customers below happily catch the money. In "Letters," people in a busy city intersection stop in their tracks to stare at oversized letters spelling out "WAIT." Suddenly, workers begin removing the letters by car and plane, as a voiceover states, "What makes CVS/pharmacy the leading drug store in America? With prescriptions ready when promised, we’re doing away with waiting." Both ads end with the tagline "Expect something extra."
