Complete Pair
To our members, We are very excited to introduce you to a new and valuable partnership with a company called Complete Pair. Complete Pair offers an all-in-one appointment booking and sales system for eye care professionals looking to modernize their digital business strategy, meet consumer expectations and convert more sales. They have successfully developed a customizable service/package around their proprietary software, that will help independent opticians and optometrists transition online consumers to in-store customers. This sales system can complete approximately 90% of a sale online through your optimized website, gather all important intake information, such as an existing prescription, frame preferences or medical history, and deliver this to you in one convenient, consolidated package to your email.
Complete Pair can also be seamlessly linked to your patient booking software, allowing you to complete the buying experience in the dispensary as medical professionals.
In a time where many more consumers have been programmed to not only shopping online, but browsing online with intent, this new system can help capture these opportunities on your website. Complete Pair then guides this qualified lead through the proprietary online consumer journey and converts them in your physical store to complete a sale.
This can all be done for about the cost of one Complete Pair of eyewear monthly. One new or existing patient each month can service this program, while making you more competitive and modernizing the customer eyewear experience.
Looking forward to the future, we are excited to offer this unique partnership. The Optical Group believes Complete Pair can deliver true value and increased sales opportunities for our members…
