OptiKate's Success Story

My name is Katie (OptiKate), and this spring I launched a Mobile Optician business in Seattle, WA.  I have a 20 year career selling expensive frames, so I needed to "re-tool" my brain to accommodate my start-up budget AND provide high quality product to my new customers.    As part of my market research, I met with Larry... to take a closer look at [Modern's] frame collections. The quality and variety looked good and the prices were awesome! 

Fortunately, Larry also introduced me to the development team of their new online frame try-on app called "Ocho Vision".  Frank and Pritesh exuberantly gave me the demo, and I promptly poked holes... just like a good troubleshooter should.  As a result, they were able to create a more robust and flexible App that better fits my needs (in person Optician), as well as the online-friendly practices.  I placed my first stock order of frames in Mid February, and have already re-ordered several times.  Larry is "my guy" and has helped me every step of the way.  He is amazing.  

Two stories that indicate my new business is off to a roaring success:  First, I was concerned about the lack of "Brand Names".  Spoiler alert... No One Cares.  They just want quality.  Okay... SOME folks do care about fancy names, but I sold 25 pairs of glasses in a month, and no one asked if I had Gucci.  My first event, I sold 9 pairs of glasses to a group of friends at a private home.  The Modern frames were so colorful, fun and functional, it was like watching kids in a candy store!  

Second, using the Ocho Vision App on my iPad SAVED a $2000 sale last week.  The customer was ready to walk away because I didn't have the frame style he wanted in stock, so I pulled up my Ocho App and easily found what he described.   "Yep. That's good".   Then he chose two more pairs of glasses and wrote me a check.  (Mic drop).  

[OCHO Vision] has played a vital partnership role in helping me with a highly successful launch.  I cannot thank them enough! 

Sincerely,  

Katie
