During a presentation at the San Diego Optometric Society Mark Becker, president and CEO of Precision San Diego, launched the laboratory’s new website,
www.popsandiego.com.
“We wanted our site to do several things, going beyond providing important information to our customers,” said Becker. “We also intend the site to draw browser interest and provide a way to steer shoppers to our independent eye care professionals.” To do this, the Precision site attracts consumer readers not only by offering information on eyecare products, but also by highlighting key San Diego attractions. Shoppers can then find eye care practitioners and optical shops listed by their area.
Precision worked with a local graphic design company, Stegen Designs, to develop the site, using eye catching graphics and local photography. “More people are turning to the Internet for shopping and research and while content is important, the visuals that accompany it need to be impactful to best convey the message quickly and keep the viewer interested,” points out Michael Stegen. “The Precision site hits a fine balance of material and imagery.”
“Eye care professionals are rapidly learning the importance of utilizing new on-line marketing formats,” Becker concludes, “We felt that anything we could do to help them in their efforts would benefit us all.”
