Provider - Become a Zip Eyewear Provider
Prescription eyewear, once the exclusive domain of highly skilled professionals, is now sold online. Zip Eyewear is a different kind of online eyewear store in that we do not compete for your business. Instead, we send customers from our website to your store.
Our entire approach is founded upon a belief in the personal interaction and professional service found exclusively in traditional optical storefronts, like yours.
INTERNET SALES
Recently, all eyewear retailers, both chain and independent, have seen increased competition from online operations. The standard model is for a consumer to enter prescription info, pick frames and receive discounted eyewear ‘in a box.’ This commodity selling hurts the eye care professional both in immediate loss of revenue, and in the potential for long term lowering of consumer expectations.
In this way, every optical retailer today is challenged by online sellers with global reach, bulk discounts, and virtually no eyecare service. Our Site to Sight platform is designed to change this.
Online eyewear customers customers are frequently dissatisfied with their glasses. Zip Eyewear offers our customers:
- Online convenience and affordability
- The professional interaction necessary for proper eye care
- Accurate optical measurements and expertise
- Complete order flexibility
- Comfort that they will get exactly what they need
ZipEyewear.com does not simply intercept Internet traffic and direct it to stores. As a member of our Provider Network, Zip Eyewear customers will walk in to your store with an actual transacted sale and a need for your services.
SITE TO SIGHT
Zip Eyewear is the first online eyewear business to implement a Site to Sight approach -- a carefully crafted hybrid of traditional optical retail and Internet sales. At the most fundamental level, customers order any frame on our website and receive their eyeglasses service from one of our participating providers.
This circumvents the problems of online-only eyewear. Customers are able to seek professional guidance, have accurate measurements taken, and receive personal service. They get to actually try on their frames.
