The monthly live “broadcasts” will provide viewers with content that includes virtual shopping, special sales offers and incentives, as well as branded giveways, marketing tips and business solutions, to help attract customers to the offices of eyecare professionals.

The first-ever SAFILO LIVE “episode” will take place on Wednesday, Aug. 5, at 2 p.m. EDT. This month’s featured topic is Back-to-School eyewear and will focus on the newest styles trending for teens and college-age young adults.

Formatted like a home shopping program, the live show will feature two Safilo sales hosts and offer informative content including product features and benefits as well a Q&A session with some of Safilo’s most knowledgeable sales reps. Special SAFILO LIVE sales offers, giveaways and incentive pricing will only be offered during the live “broadcast” as well as up to three days afterwards in the program’s “On Demand” mode. Once viewers sign up to watch the episode, the registration link can be used to watch the live program or view on demand as a taped episode.
