Vision & Voice WHAT IS YOUR BUSINESS MOST EXCITED TO SHARE IN 2016? "We are very excited about the upcoming launch of Fysh sunglasses this spring. We have been getting requests for years to develop Fysh Sun and I think we have really captured the essence of the brand with this first collection. Styling is unique, colours are fun and all models are Rx-able which is important for our customers. Fysh Sun will be launched in conjunction with the new Fysh marketing campaign, so 2016 will be a real exciting year for the brand." Bev Suliteanu VP Product Development | WestGroupe "I am very very excited for 2016; I have a full line up stuff on-the-go! We will be launching our reading glass collection under “Brow Meister”; a new collection of plastic (5 style) as part of our “RETRO”, two new styles within “Wood & Horn”, but most of all what I am so excited about is my new stainless steel designs; they are “unique & beautiful”, they will come with tacky gloss colors or clean earth-tone inspired colors." Mehran Baghie Spectacle Eyeworks 8 Optical Prism | January 2016 "4ECPs is expanding their resource offerings in 2016 to include eyecare jobs, marketing & training services for eyecare professionals. In late 2015 we launched Marketing 4ECPs which is a full service all-inclusive marketing company focused on taking eyecare practices to the next level with their marketing strategy and we will continue to grow our representation in Canada in 2016. In 2016, our biggest project will be the new online, on-demand business training portal for ECPs. Built in partnership with Dr. Scot Morris, OD, and Trudi Charest, Optician it covers every aspect of business operations and management functions required to run an effective eyecare business in today’s competitive market. Scot & Trudi are well known industry speakers, authors and business innovators in eyecare and bring a mass of expertise and tools to this training portal." Trudi Charest President | JOBS4ECP's "Optika eyewear is very excited for 2016, since this coming year will be all about colour. Eyewear needs to make an impact, especially for our Nat and Coco Eyewear collection. It will feature wild acetates, such as NC2718 Navy. It makes an impact, with our unique colour blending technique, where we fuse multiple acetates together to get unique patterns and designs. As well, Nat and Coco, model NC2721 Black, will mix the popular Cat Eye shape, with colour blending, to give a colourful take, on a great shape." Richard Allan Optika Eyewear
