At VisionWeb, we are always looking for a way to reuse everyday objects. Especially considering the current climate crisis, we know practices are conscious about their waste and reducing it. You might even find new uses for those extra frames and glasses cases you have laying around.
Always thinking of ways to reuse everyday optical-eyecare objects, we knew there were countless ways to reuse old eyeglass cases. These ideas can also present a good marketing opportunity for eyecare professionals to connect with their patients. Why not set up a ‘Store Within A Store‘ concept just with different types of eyeglass cases and do up some demo- displays like the ones shown below?
