FOR EYEWEAR BRANDS

Eyewear marketing that helps people find the right frame.

We grow sunglasses and glasses brands on Shopify. Most of the sunglasses and plastic frames the US imports come from China, and their cost has moved with every tariff change since 2025, so we set ad targets from what each frame earns after duty, lenses and remakes. On the store, we settle fit before the lens step, make that step easy to finish and show how to use FSA money or vision insurance. Then email brings customers back for the next pair.

IN SHORT

Eyewear marketing is how a glasses or sunglasses brand sells frames online to people who can't try them on in a store. We add clear measurements and try-on to your product pages, make the lens and prescription step easy to finish, plan ads around sunglasses season and December, and use email to bring customers back for the next pair.

HOW PEOPLE BUY
They compare frames on faces like theirs, check the measurements against a pair they own, try them on virtually where they can, then choose lenses.
WHEN IT SELLS
Sunglasses from spring through summer and again for holiday gifts. Glasses all year, when a prescription changes or a pair breaks, with a December push from people spending what's left in their FSA.
WHAT WINS THE SALE
Measurements and try-on that settle fit, a lens step that's easy to finish, and a reminder when it's time for the next pair.
WHY EYEWEAR IS DIFFERENT

Every face is a different fit.

Glasses have to fit the face, suit it and often match a prescription. Sales stall in these five places.

Shoppers can't try frames on

People wonder if a frame will suit their face and fit their head. Without try-on and clear measurements, they go to a store instead, or order several pairs and send most back.

HOW WE FIX IT Virtual try-on and fit guides

The lens step loses buyers

Shoppers choose single vision or progressive lenses, blue light, tints and coatings, then enter a prescription and a PD many have never measured. Each extra choice is another chance to quit.

HOW WE FIX IT A lens and prescription step that's easy to finish

Tariffs raised what a frame costs you

China supplies 89% of the sunglasses and 72% of the plastic frames the US imports, by The Vision Council's count in 2025, and the duty on them has changed several times since. When a frame costs more to land, the ROAS it needs to break even goes up. A target set before the change can lose money on every pair.

HOW WE FIX IT Ad targets reset from your landed cost

Customers forget where they bought their last pair

People shop again when a prescription changes, a pair breaks or a new season starts. If you don't remind them, the next pair comes from another brand.

HOW WE FIX IT Reminders when it's time for a new pair

Shoppers want to use their insurance

Prescription buyers want to know if they can pay with FSA or HSA money or claim from their vision plan. If the page doesn't say, they go to a store that does.

INSIDE THE WORK

What decides an eyewear sale: fit, lenses and timing.

An eyewear sale has two hard steps, choosing the frame and choosing the lenses, and a year with two peaks: sunglasses season and December.

FINDING THE FRAME

Shoppers need to know a frame fits before they choose lenses.

The first question is always the same: will these suit my face and fit my head? In a store, people try on frame after frame in a mirror. Online, they have photos, numbers and maybe their phone's camera. Without clear guidance they order several pairs and send most of them back, or give up and go to a store. The product page has to settle fit first.

The page shows every frame on several face shapes, in daylight and from the side. The three numbers printed inside the arm of most frames (lens width, bridge width and temple length, in millimeters) sit next to the colors, with a short guide to compare them with a pair the shopper owns. Where you offer virtual try-on, it goes right beside the colors and sizes, and we A/B test it before you keep it.

  • Every frame on several face shapes
  • Lens, bridge and temple sizes on every frame
  • Virtual try-on beside the colors, tested before you keep it

THE LENS STEP

Every lens choice is a chance to quit, so each one gets simpler.

After the frame comes a string of decisions: prescription or not, single vision or progressive, blue light filtering, tints and coatings. Then the shopper has to enter a prescription and a PD, the distance between the centers of their pupils, which many people have never measured. Each step is another place to stop, and a total that only appears on the last screen is a reason to leave.

We rebuild the step so it's easy to finish. Lens options are named in plain words, with a line on who each one is for. The price updates with every choice, so the total is never a surprise. Shoppers can type in their prescription or upload a photo of it, and a short guide shows how to measure a PD at home. It runs on a Shopify app or your product options.

  • Lens options in plain words
  • The price updated with every choice
  • Help for shoppers who don't know their PD

THE EYEWEAR YEAR

Two peaks: sunglasses season, and December for glasses.

Sunglasses sell from spring into summer, when people head outside, with a second rush from holiday gift buyers. Glasses follow a different rhythm: people buy when a prescription changes or a pair breaks, so next-pair reminders run all year. Then December brings a push of its own.

Money left in a flexible spending account (FSA) at the end of the plan year can be lost, and prescription glasses count as a medical expense under IRS rules (Publication 502). On a calendar-year plan, that makes December the month people look for something eligible to buy. So the frame and lens pages say what's FSA and HSA eligible and how to claim it, a December email goes to your list, and the ad budget rises for those weeks. Ordinary sunglasses don't qualify, so their ads stay on the gift angle.

  • Sunglasses budgets built up through spring
  • FSA and HSA eligibility shown on every frame and lens page
  • A December push for glasses, next-pair reminders all year

WHAT'S INCLUDED

Less guessing at every step.

We set ad targets from what an order keeps after duty, lens costs, returns and remakes.

  1. Fit guides

    Lens width, bridge and temple length on every frame. A short guide shows shoppers how to find the same numbers inside the arm of a pair they own.

  2. Virtual try-on

    A try-on app on your product pages, right next to the frame colors and sizes.

  3. Ads on real faces

    Frames on different face shapes, filmed in daylight and from every angle, plus polarized lens demos for sunglasses.

  4. Shopping ads by frame and lens

    Titles that name the shape, material, color and lens type, from round acetate frames to polarized aviators.

  5. A simpler lens checkout

    Lens options in plain words, prices shown before the last step, and help for shoppers who need their PD.

  6. Next-pair flows

    Reminders when a prescription is likely due, emails for each new season, and cases and cleaning kits offered after each order.

Help people find a frame that fits before you ask them to buy. That means measurements, try-on and photos on real faces, a lens step that's easy to finish, and ads planned around each country's season. After the order, email brings them back when it's time for new frames.

It can. It answers the question shoppers ask first: will this frame suit me? We A/B test it like any other change, and you keep it only if it sells more.

Give the lens width, bridge width and temple length for every frame, and say which face widths it suits. Most glasses have these numbers printed inside the arm. Show shoppers how to compare them with a pair they already own.

From spring into summer, as people head outside, with a second push for holiday gifts in December. Raise the budget ahead of each peak and pull it back after, instead of spending evenly all year. Glasses peak differently: all year as prescriptions change, plus December, when people spend what's left in their FSA.

For prescription glasses, usually yes: the IRS counts eyeglasses needed for medical reasons as a medical expense. Ordinary sunglasses don't qualify. Say on each frame page what's eligible and how to claim it with an itemized receipt, and remind your list in December, when money left in an FSA can be lost.

Yes. With the right app or product setup, a Shopify store can collect lens choices and a prescription. We build that step so it's clear, shows prices early and helps people who don't know their PD.
