Pain Point: Optical Specialized Presence

Davis EyeCare initially employed the services of a local digital marketing agency to commission their website and digital strategy but after a while realized that they needed a partner who also understood the optical industry. Aligning their brick-and-mortar business goals with their online digital goals was a big priority for the owners, Jason and Renee, even before the pandemic. Jason discovered OptiCommerce, Ocuco’s digital experts, through a recommendation and decided to reach out. He was impressed by the professionalism and quality of service and decided to work with the team. In 2019, he met with Paul Clare, OptiCommerce Sales Director at Vision Expo West to foster the relationship further.

“Ocuco did an incredible job with our new website. We are delighted with the results. We recommend working with the OptiCommerce team. They are fantastic!”

Implementation

Davis EyeCare opted for an eCommerce website and a frames catalog. This allowed them to highlight different brands and fashion eyewear on their website, without having to manually upload and maintain it themselves. Numerous members of the Opticommerce team, including, Paul Clare, Sales Director, Stuart Jones, Project Manager, and Chris Mantle, Digital Marketing Manager, are involved in the continuous development of the website and Digital Marketing Services.

The launch of their new website helped Davis EyeCare meet the online needs of their patients, which had increased significantly due to the 2020 pandemic.

“Thanks to our new website and Digital Marketing we are seeing online sales every month, which is completely new for us.”

Digital Marketing

Digital Marketing tools play a key role in driving patients to book appointments and make purchases online. Davis EyeCare decided to complement their new website with a Gold Digital Marketing Package, which includes Google Pay-Per-Click (PPC) campaigns, two social media posts per week on Facebook and Instagram, one blog post per month, and paid social media campaigns.

Recently after some re-evaluation, the team suggested some advanced SEO tactics. Davis EyeCare values the team’s expertise in Google Advertising immensely. This added value for Jason and Renee’s business as it helped them identify how much they would need to spend to see positive ROI. The digital marketing team assists them in navigating through Google Analytics reports and highlight their organic and paid traffic sources.

“It has been an absolute pleasure to work with a practice that wants to be ahead of the curve. We are proud of the outcome.”
