People have lots of reasons for buying new sunglasses. On average, most of us buy a pair every year. Others buy several pairs per year for no other reason than they have trouble not losing or damaging their sunglasses. Interestingly enough, there is an entirely separate group of eyewear purchasers who buy sunglasses because they collect them. A recent Chart Attack piece written by contributor Ma...

With a new surge in coronavirus cases occurring all across the U.S., it is looking a lot more likely that this year's vacation season is going to be a bust. People will still take time off from work, but the likelihood of them traveling is pretty slim now. That does not mean your bottom line has to suffer. As a retailer, you can still sell all the latest designer sunglasses if you adapt your marke...

They looked for opportunity even in times when none seemed available. They figured out how to take the cards dealt to them and still produce a winning hand. The retail industry finds itself in a precarious position right now. The economy has taken a beating. We have...

Knowing ho...

The Richest website recently ran a story listing the top 13 brands of sunglasses by price. Number 13 on that list was one of the many well-known brands from Luxottica. Its top price point was about $500. By contrast, the number one brand is a Swiss brand that thinks nothing of charging hundreds of thousands of dollars.

As a designer of high-quality sunglasses, we do not mind the constantly revolving nature of our business. We hope you don't either. We want to encourage...
