Why Private Label?

Dr. Fleming broke down how private practice owners can introduce private label lenses, frames, and other optical products into their business model. This strategy not only strengthens profitability but also enhances control over pricing, product quality, and brand positioning.

In the episode, Chad and Evon dive into the key benefits of private label products, including:

Higher Margins & Lower Costs – Without the markups from big-name brands, private label products offer a better profit margin while still delivering top-tier quality.

Increased Business Flexibility – Practice owners gain more control over pricing, product selection, and inventory management.

Branding & Patient Loyalty – Private labeling strengthens your brand identity and fosters patient trust and retention by offering exclusive products they can’t find elsewhere.
