"All day I dream about..."
How to choose brands to offer and companies with which to partner.

For the independent practitioner, there are many challenges in the industry like insurance, large retail competition, and Internet discount sites. Therefore, the significance of selecting the right brands to offer is crucial. Every frame space must create an opportunity to either attract new patients or retain the patients you have worked so hard to acquire. Every brand should have a purpose and must be selected with the intent of maximizing your overall ROI (return on investment).

When considering brands, be careful not to lose focus.
Discount programs, which promote large quantities from multiple collections, can aid in terms of billing and are sometimes beneficial. However, investing in brands that fit your business, regardless of incentives, will ultimately pay off in the long run.

Consider brands that attract customers likely to purchase
.
There is no doubt that popular fashion brands will make up a percentage of your board space. In addition, it is important to carry affordable core products that meet insurance needs. The key is in the remaining space. This is what sets your office apart. It can define you as an individual and attract new customers.

Reserve this space for recognizable brands that meet the consumer's demand for functional yet fashionable sunwear i.e., a brand that combines sport and lifestyle together. This can best meet the value that today's consumer wants. They're not afraid to spend but demand that the products they buy deliver a variety of values.

Consider Adidas Eyewear, a recognized and sought after brand whose clothing and footwear define both fashion and sports. This can be an investment with considerable returns given the diversity of customers that the Adidas brand attracts. Adidas Eyewear is designed and manufactured by Silhouette, an independent eyewear company, based in Austria, renowned for quality and comfort. Customers that experience this commitment to detail are more likely to return.

Partnering with companies whose brands are know to focus on design and quality attract a large demographic. This can have a positive influence on revenue and customer satisfaction.
