    industry trends on AR, Multi's, Poly.....

    Good morning my fine optical geniuses!

    I am formulating a new sales strategy for my company and I am looking for industry trends on multi pair/AR percentages. Does anyone know of a reliable source where I can find this information in an easy to understand format? I would like to present my findings so that I can tailor my new strategy off of those figures.

    Thanks!

    National sales data provided to me by Soderberg: AR 29%, "Digital" PAL 32%, Multiples 14%, Transitions 20%, Polarized 10%, Remakes 12%.

    The data probably comes from The National Vision Council.

    http://www.thevisioncouncil.org/opti...a-and-trends-0

    My percentages are 84%, 36%, 31%, 1%, 16%, and 8%.

    Photochromics in general. Great for kids who can't keep track of two pair, and satisfactory for younger adults looking for the most convenience instead of the best functionality. I have an older clientele so I recommend Chemestrie Clips or a dedicated pair (always polarized).

    Fezz,

    It looks like you get the same stats that I get (Soderberg and Walman are essentially one in the same now). It looks like your first number is national, the second is Walman, and the third set are your percentages.
