Sporty Options
by Tara Rosenzweig
Sports accessories are great add-ons when selling sports eyewear. From athlete-friendly retainers (including some sport-specific designs and floating holders for water sports) to ultra-durable cases and even MP3 players, this category provides consumers with options that are both valuable and practical.
Look to sports eyewear companies as well as accessory sellers for these durable goods. Some also offer displays and special product groupings to help with your merchandising efforts.
