Making frame buying decisions can be confusing, time consuming, and expensive when you consider that the person taking the time to make these decisions is usually the highest paid employee in a practice. This process is made even more stressful because there are innumerable beautiful frame designs available at almost any price point you can imagine; complicated further by some frame companies’ other vested interests.

Partnerships are stronger than transactions

It’s no secret that frame companies come in all sizes and they don’t have to be part of a massive conglomerate to offer value; your inventory choices are yours, look for those partners who empower you to do what is best for your practice, your margins, your patients.

While it is true that patients will sometimes call your practice asking for brand name frames like RayBan, Oakley, Prada, Tiffany, Coach, Calvin Klein, Nike, Costa, among others, that certainly doesn’t mean that your entire inventory should be made up of brands your patients are already familiar with. It’s very much within your control to create value for your patients through the products that you carry by being knowledgeable and confident.

You can be more profitable and lower your patients’ costs at the same time which will make them more loyal to your practice, especially because your patients can get the brands they’re already familiar with almost anywhere. Carrying frames that are unique to your practice sets your business apart, creating the kind of differentiation that today’s patient is always trying to find.
