Zenni’s new ECP Affiliate Program offers eyecare providers a sustainable path forward

As eye care providers adjust to growing patient demands for numerous choices and rapid fulfillment, Zenni has developed a smarter alternative – one that enables ECPs to offer more than 3,000 prescription-ready frames while reducing the need to stock, staff, and maintain physical showrooms. Zenni’s new ECP Affiliate Program offers doctors 12% commissions and patients a 12% discount on purchases, while maintaining the high standards of product quality, rapid dispensing, and customer service doctors and patients always expect.

Leveraging Zenni’s successful online store and end-to-end fulfillment systems for customers and affiliates, the ECP Affiliate Program is a turnkey solution for optometrists and ophthalmologists. Now any doctor can offer a wide selection of highly customizable frames using little more than a desk, a small “try-on kit” with several samples, and either a tablet or smartphone. In less than a week from initial signup, Zenni’s program enables doctors without a dispensary, to offer patients a huge array of prescription glasses online. Additionally, ECPs with traditional optical dispensaries can use Zenni’s program to supplement their existing offerings with specialty items, including ANSI Z87.1 safety glasses, sports goggles, and kids’ frames.

The process is simple for patients. Immediately after an eye exam, doctors and staff can work with patients to test out Zenni-provided sample frames to confirm facial fit, or direct them to Zenni.com to enjoy a virtual try-on experience on their own digital device. Thanks to Zenni’s proven, photorealistic virtual try on technology, patients can see themselves from multiple angles as they would look wearing the glasses, and rapidly move between styles, sizes, and colors. Better yet, many of the frames can be customized with engraved text and iconic graphics – a level of personalization that isn’t readily available with traditional glasses.

Zenni’s attractive prices enable patients to buy multiple prescription glasses at once or over time; doctors can realistically suggest readers, distance lenses, emergency backups, sunglasses, or multiple pairs of fashion frames to fit different outfits and moods. Similarly, Zenni starts specialty lenses such as Trivex at $39.95, progressives at $27.95, and Blokz blue light blockers at only $16.95, prices ECPs and patients will appreciate.

No additional work is needed from the eye care provider’s office: The doctor simply prints each prescription with their affiliate code, which simultaneously enables the patient to receive their discount, and the doctor to receive their commission. Finished glasses are delivered to customers within 2 weeks of their order, backed by Zenni’s 24/7 support, and 30-day, no hassle return policy.

Just as Zenni has modernized and streamlined the process of shopping for glasses online, the ECP Affiliate Program has the potential to transform the prescription eyeglass industry for doctors with limited optical resources. Instead of worrying about measuring, dispensing, remaking, and repairing glasses, optometrists and ophthalmologists can focus on eye health and exams, trusting Zenni to keep delivering great prices and consistently top-rated customer support. Patients benefit from a wider variety of choices, infinite time and location flexibility for try-ons, and the ability to keep ordering new pairs at any time – whenever their needs, prescriptions, or styles change.
