As a corporate partner of the Opticians Association of American (OAA), VisionWeb was excited to be a part of the OAA's annual Leadership Conference this past weekend in Orlando, FL. It was a great conference spent with an awesome group of people! Not only were the presentations at the conference informative, but there was also some spare time to explore Disney World!
VisionWeb is an online ordering service for opticians and optometrists, and as a benefit to the OAA we created a Royalty Program to support the people who use our services every day. We do this by providing royalties to the OAA on orders that all OAA members place over the VisionWeb network. At the leadership conference we were able to hand out the Royalty Checks to the individual state associations who earned them allowing them to use this money at their own discretion to support programs and defray their membership costs. Last year's royalties totaled $5,570! Additionally, Florida was recognized with a bonus $1,000 for having the largest percent increase in members who were enrolled in the program!
All OAA members who use VisionWeb as on online optician ordering software are eligible to participate. And, as an added bonus, any member who enrolls before March 31, 2013 will be entered to win a $150 gift card! There will also be a $1,500 bonus to the State with the largest % increase in enrollments. Enrolling your eyecare practice before March 31, 2013 will include all your past orders placed on VisionWeb since April 2012 towards your State's earnings!
To enroll your practice follow these instructions or check out the demo:
It all depends on how many orders you and other OAA members in your State place through VisionWeb's online ordering service. After your practice places 600 orders during the earning period of April through March, your practice is qualified to earn a 1% royalty on the transaction fee paid by the suppliers receiving the orders. The royalty percentage increased to 2% and 3% respectively, at annual ordering thresholds of 1,200 and 2,400 orders. Take a look at the example below:
Number of Participants in your State | Royalties earned at 600 orders/year | Royalties earned at 1,200 orders/year | Royalties earned at 2,400 orders/year |
100 | $600 | $2,400 | $7,200 |
250 | $1,500 | $6,000 | $18,000 |
500 | $3,000 | $12,000 | $36,000 |
You only need to register your eye care practice once to participate for the life of the program. If you have any questions about the OAA Royalty Program or our online ordering service for opticians, please contact our Customer Service Team at (800)-874-6601, or customerservice@visionweb.com.
