    Redhot Jumper a supplier but also their largest price cutting retail competition

    Having checked the website of the Ontario Opticians Association and been surprised that they promote:

    Our Industry Partners

    Platinum Partner

    at : ======>
    http://www.ontario-opticians.com

    which is not only a supplier but also their largest price cutting retail competition as owner of "Coastal" on-line glasses.



    What do you think ?

    They're starving for support anywhere they can get it. Essilor is keeping them afloat; membership enrollment certainly isn't enough.

    yeah although i dont agree with the esslior support beggars cant be choosers. They have the best membership price for Opticians that need to buy their own insurance in Ontario and have great rates for CE credits among other perks

    CE aside, I actually get a much better price direct with my broker than through the association affiliated insurers about 30% less. The association had value more than 10 years ago, but not anymore. Any vendor when dealing direct will beat any previously negotiated price level now a days.

    you must have quite the broker. I asked my broker about insurance and it was way higher. That could also be because I only have car insurance and dont have house insurance or any other insurances bundled in yet

    Bundling definitely helps volume.
