Have you ever broken your glasses and had to get an emergency pair? And when you rushed out the door, you realized that you could not drive because you could not see? Even when you made it to an optical store, the salesperson told you that your glasses would not be ready until the following week? Yes, it is frustrating!
Well, here is a suggestion – A Back Up Pair!
Once in a while, optical stores like to do “Buy 1 Get 1 Free” promo. As business owners, we all know it is a good way to get rid of your clearance and help generate some cash. In fact as consumers, it is the best opportunity to select your back up pair as well.
Why do we care about back up glasses? A back up pair would be a life saver when something happens to your original pair. Think about how much you rely on your glasses on a daily basis. Can you afford to live without them? Can you perform your day-to-day activities? Can you read without glasses? How about driving at night?
A back up pair would be beneficial to everyone, especially the following group:
• Parents with baby: Your baby likes to grab everything, does she/he?
• Dog owners: Tell me when your dog chewed up your last pair
• Students: You could have scored an A+ if you could see the board better, eh?
• Patients with high Rx: If your prescription is higher than a + or – 3.00D
• Progressive wearers: Usually it takes a week to make a pair of progressives
• Businessman: Well, you know how much your time worth
But please keep in mind: A back up pair could be fashionable as well!
