Something with enduring design, and in many cases a throwback, retro cool vibe.” What are you selling? Coachella Valley Optometry was founded in 2016, and we’ve had Ray-Ban on board since day one. Our top-sellers are the classic cult models embedded in history—the Clubmaster and the Wayfarer. We place all Ray-Ban product together, display product by segments to make it easier for the consumer to shop in store, ensure that the display is fully stocked, and position product according to levels of importance and best visibility, shapes and materials, and balance of colors to avoid duplication. Who’s buying it? Ray-Bans are loved by the rebels; iconoclastic people who idolize rock ’n’ roll heroes and Hollywood stars. They associate this eyewear brand with counter cultures and timeless fashion. Why do they like it? The Ray-Ban consumer is looking for an iconic look. Something with enduring design, and in many cases a throwback, retro cool vibe.
