POWER OF 3, PLUS 1
Following the success of its Power of 3 event, which motivated consumers to purchase premium lenses through independent eyecare professionals, Essilor is expanding the program by adding a rebate incentive on Rx sunwear.
The Power of 3X initiative offers a direct incentive to purchase: Crizal No-Glare, Transitions Adaptive, and Varilux progressive lenses, and new this year, Xperio UV prescription polarized lenses.
ECPs will be able to offer their patients a mail-in rebate worth up to $30 when they purchase Crizal, Varilux, and Transitions lenses, plus up to an additional $60 rebate with the purchase of Xperio UV prescription polarized lenses during the same office visit. A full breakdown of rebates is available at the website. The program will run through September 30.

TIP OF THE MONTH
Sectioning off areas of a small shop is challenging, but tall, open bookcases can be an effective way to divide the space, as well as display products and create an airy feel. Open bookcases are also flexible, allowing you to change both the layout and the merchandise easily.
{THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL}
SNEAK PEEK
WestGroupe gives ECPs a sneak-peek of its new KLiiK denmark and EVATIK campaigns with behind-the-scenes images from campaign photo shoots. Shot on location in Miami, they capture the true essence of the brands with the off-the-beaten-track locations and relaxed, youthful atmosphere of KLiiK denmark, and Evatik’s modern masculine chic and upscale urban environment. The campaign will appear in optical magazines, in stores, on social media, and on the brand websites.
