Polycore Optical Unveils New Branding Strategy
Polycore Optical USA is repositioning itself as a company that’s easy to do business with. Toward that end, it has developed a fresh look to its branding that reflects the new approach. The lens maker has created a new tag line, “Simplifying the Business of Sight,”
that conveys the message, as well as newly designed graphics for its marketing materials.
“As a globally integrated lens manufacturing company with its headquarters in Singapore, Polycore understands that they can only be successful if their customers and users are successful. By filling
an industry need for simplifying the way business is conducted, we strive to offer greater flexibility, straightforward solutions, and
products that offer truly better benefits to partners and users,” says Ann Shanley, marketing manager. “Simplifying the Business of Sight” also means providing greater accessibility so eyecare professionals can focus their energy on what truly matters—growing their businesses,” she adds. This is the philosophy that drives Polycore, represented in an all-new business logo that symbolizes our new, fresh energy: friendly, personalized, and simple.”
Shanley says Polycore plans to introduce many new programs and initiatives to aid its partners and eyecare professionals.
