Framing The Father’s Day Retail Landscape |
 |
NEW YORK—According to the National Retail Federation, this year’s Father’s Day is slated to be bigger than ever before. The NRF reports that Father’s Day spending in 2019 is expected to reach an all-time high of $16 billion, with an average planned spending of about $139 per person. In the same vein, this year, the optical community is getting online and getting involved with Father’s Day in a major way. Many retailers are ringing in Father’s Day with special values for men's frames, including Edward Beiner locations and Van Brunt Optical Haus in Costa Mesa, California. Others are using the holiday as a reminder of just how important regular eye exams are for everyone—including Dad. |
