    Frame Manufacturers!

    How many different frame manufacturers does your office carry?

    Why?

    26 lines with 11 different manufacturers. Too d*** many in my opinion with only 600 frames on the board. I am trying to bring it down but am meeting resistance from the owners.

    Ideally, I would like to have about 15 lines with 5 or 6 companies.

    Keeping up with the rep schedule is almost a full time job right now.

    When I left it I think it was 6 manufacturers. Give or take one or two.

    Off of that, I could hypothesize 15-20 lines.

    To me, the lines did not matter. I never looked at the brand. Just style, quality, price, and distributer.

    Atleast 20 or more... We do very well with it, in my opinion having a good and different inventory makes your optical extremely succesfull.
