He has a keen understanding of the health care industry and the role of women as the primary decision makers for health-related purchases in households. Mark's insights into consumer behavior have led him to challenge traditional capture rate measurements, believing that a significant percentage of sales are not being accounted for. His deep understanding of consumer behavior and the health care market has made him a valuable asset in the industry.

Mark and I take a deep dive into the changing landscape of optometry and e-commerce, starting with a critical look at outdated capture rate statistics and the remarkable case of Warby Parker's e-commerce sales rise. Expect to uncover fresh insights on consumer behavior trends, as we expose how the key to revamping your practice could lie in understanding and leveraging modern customer behaviors - particularly those of women, who typically make the health decisions in most households.

Tune in as we explore Vision Council data that highlights convenience as the principal driver of consumer choices for optical products. We also share fascinating perspectives on the powerful role of fitting kits and Virtual Try-Ons (VTOs) in mitigating return rates for major online sellers. Together, we obliterate the myth that online shopping is all about price, and instead highlight the ever-present factor of convenience. Join us to envision the future of optometry practices in this digital age, and learn how to make your time more valuable through effective customer-collaborations.
