best time of the year to stock up sunglasses

[misenlai]

I'm trying to set up an account with Lux and Safilo. Is there a best time to order stuffs from them with good discount? I'm thinking September/October timeframe. If anyone have accounts with them and let me know what time of the year they do special discount promo, that would be great.

Thanks

I found vision expo east and december have been good especially for sunglasses. Safilo usually has one free frame for every 12 you buy at the show. But honestly I found most big companies had cut back on deals. For example, Luxottica has started to offer bigger discount for its biggest account rather than one off deal. Best of Luck!!!

The best prices you can get are when you dont need anything!

In France, the discount promo (more rebate or free extra frames) is from October to December.
You can have a delivery in February/ March.

It is time to re-think your thinking!

Best time to buy them is when you need them. SPRING.

Why have your money sitting collecting dust during the winter, even if you got a good price?

And often the good price in the off season is because they are about to be discontinued. So, later parts/warranty problems. Or they are about to go on the rack at TJ MAX at an outrageous low price.

I agree with Harry. Why not look around you, and observe the geographical, social, and seasonal needs of your clients.................and base your buying decisions on that, as opposed to what the "deal of the minute" is?
