Zenni Optical's visual search for our sites

[Black]

Hi!

Zenni Optical has added visual search feature to its site. (Navigate to https://www.zennioptical.com/ and press green button at the top.) And even made a PR story of it. https://techcrunch.com/sponsor/zenni...ir-of-glasses/

I am impressed with the quality of the results. It really finds glasses on any picture (either a selfie or a product image) and shows similarly looking glasses (shape and color) at Zennie's killer price (e.g. $12).

I have an offer from a software company to create such service for my site using Google's visual search service. I think some of my customers may play with it, if I send emails to them, and find it engaging and return to me for a purchase.

But the cost of the software is too high for my optical business. The only way to cover the costs would be to resell the service to other opticians. I wonder how many opticians would be interested in having such search on their sites and willing to pay for a service, say $100 a month?

Can you, please, provide a feedback with your thoughts?

I tried to buy glasses from Zenni and I couldn't see straight and it gave me a killer headache. I took them to my ophthalmologist who said they were "all wrong".

Happened to me too and getting a refund was impossible.

This was very frustrating as on line reviews said they were great.

It's probably because you didn't spring for the blue light lenses, don't be cheap Doc!
