“The VSP Global Spark program helps practices realize you don’t have to break the bank to make changes that will increase profitability and enhance the patient experience,” said Baker. “This webisode series is a fun and engaging way to show ‘do it yourself’ ways to take your practice to the next level just by making a few small changes and using a set of practical tips offered by VSP Global.”
The first makeover utilized the products and services of VSP Global to execute the new look in one weekend, which to date, has significantly improved the practice’s overall profitability and success. The integrated makeover included an update from Eye Designs®, which outfitted the practice with new paint and furniture, bringing a warmer, more inviting experience to patients, and an enhanced dispensary with new merchandising displays. The practice also increased its choices in premium optical and sunwear and is now carrying Fendi and Karl Lagerfeld eyewear collections from Marchon® Eyewear, which also provided training to the staff about the products.

The staff also received training on sales strategies for anti-reflective (AR) lens treatments from VSP Optics Group, currently yielding a double digit increase in AR sales. In addition, Eyefinity/OfficeMate updated the practice’s Web site, utilizing the eWeb Extra solution to customize the Web site and add online appointment scheduling capability, resulting in increased convenience and efficiency for both patients and the practice.
In addition to the webisodes, new makeover tips and tutorials will be added to the VSP Global Spark Web site in the coming weeks
