    Custom goodies and dispensing style

    1. Where does everyone order custom cloths, lens cleaner and in bulk from? We would like to have our office name imprinted on both.
    2. We are also looking for a 'fancy' dispensing tray that we can bring out to the client to show their finished eyewear. Any ideas?
    3. What sort of things do you include when you dispense eyewear? We are looking at getting upscale bags, putting their eyewear inside with a comment card. Does anyone include anything else interesting?

    Redhot Jumper Exclusive stuff................

    If you want to be real fancy............do a web search, takes a little time, and find all these goodies in a non optical environment, like jewellery supplies, so you wont look like all theother opticians in the next block who buy all the same from optical supply houses.

    Hello,

    Just walked into a custom shop today in GuangZhou and saw this guy made custom eyewear cases with mallets, chisels, solder gun, files, sandpapers, scissor, vinyle material, cloth materials, tinted leather, tin sheet, brass barrels...etc.

    He carved out the upper and lower casing shape with chisels, sand it real well, and hammed the tin sheet over, cut out the shape,filing and sanding, soldered two pieces of brass hinges and then glue green cloth over and then sew a bread like of clothes with stuff filled in. It took him 30 minutes to make a custom eyewear case with club sandwich look! What a awasome job he did!

    He also can make eyewear cases in peanut shape, hot dog, oval corn, silm hello kitty...etc. 200 RMB each and need to wait a week for them!

    Anyone thought about doing this in the states???:cheers:
