And I think that these incredible experiences that we've been able to really provide for our customers by having these in-store interactions have been really, I think, incredibly memorable.Not just for our customers, but also for our store. The idea of seeing one of our customers leave so happily, having this holistic vision care offering offered to them in one of our locations to me is still an incredibly unique proposition, especially for our customers to see our frames live and in person.” - Sandy Gilsenan “A typical journey as the customer first meets our brand through a home try-on program, they get those five frames. Maybe they go online to see them, maybe they heart some, and then they go to a store. They come to the store informed about our brand. And I think one of the things that I always applaud, is our store associates are, best in class in terms of training, learning about customer experience.We really focus on that. So I think it's this idea, you know, the word omnichannel is probably a bit overused, but we sort of like to say we're gonna create as many channels as our customers dictate necessary for them to trust the brand and find the product that they love.” - Kim Nemser—Show Notes(02:39) - Sandy’s journey to Warby Parker(03:57) - Kim’s journey to Warby Parker (06:57) - Warby Parker’s 200th store(14:27) - Buy a pair give a pair(19:54) - Seamless technology(29:52) - Getting to know Sandy and Kim—SponsorThis podcast is presented by Dell Technologies and Intel.
