I have always said, “I need my glasses to find my glasses.” I know this may sound funny or confusing to some, but that’s how much I depend on my eyewear. Although eye exams can be a hassle, finding the perfect frames takes some time. I can honestly say I like how sophisticated and studious I look. 

Who is Warby Parker?

Two young classmates got together in 2010 and decided to create a company specializing in affordable prescription sun and eyewear. Warby Parker took an exciting approach rather than focusing on showroom sales (i.e., Eye Doctor’s Office). Like other businesses, Warby Parker focused on online distribution, primarily buying eyewear in-house and selling directly to consumers.

Is Warby Parker Worth the Hype?

You may be wondering if Warby Parker is worth the hype? What makes them so unique? What sets them apart is they feature real-life testaments, brand ambassadors, and repostings of related trending content. Sharing average consumers’ content allows them to have their posts used or seen by millions. Isn’t that exciting?

What makes Warby Parker stand out is how consumers can purchase their products. Like many people, I wouldn’t say I like walking around a showroom trying to find the perfect frames and settling for a pair I don’t necessarily love. So instead, I choose to shop online. I must say I am hesitant when it comes to purchasing my eyewear online because I don’t have the option to try them on. However, Warby Parker has come up with an attractive solution to my fears.

By creating the “Home Try-On Campaign.” allowing customers like myself free of charge the option to order up to five pairs of glasses and try them on all from the comfort of my home. It sounds like a win to me!
