About Specsavers
We are perhaps the biggest brand that you might not have heard of. Founded 40 years ago by optometrist couple Doug and Mary Perkins, Specsavers is a privately owned, family-run business that operates across 11 markets; the UK, Ireland, Netherlands, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Spain, Australia, New Zealand, and Canada.
We’re the largest privately owned optical and audiology group in the world with an annual turnover of $5bn and care for the eyesight and hearing of over 35 million customers worldwide through our network of nearly 2000 stores.
Specsavers has grown every year since its launch in 1984 and our brand and marketing have been fundamental parts of that continued success. We’re a household name and market leader in all the markets we operate in, enjoying very high levels of brand awareness (95%+) and consideration (70%+) and a unique brand personality that sets us apart from the competition and that is loved by our customers across the world.
Our growth has been driven by consistently delivering a strong, customer-focused value proposition; great products, unrivaled service, expertise, and professional care, all at a low price.
Launching in the US:
We are poised to enter the US market, and to revolutionize the eyecare and eyewear for all. Fundamentally, we believe that quality eyecare and eyewear should be accessible to everyone. We are a disruptor, with strong values and a true passion for eye health. Our initial proposition will offer a range of contact lenses through e-commerce but as we grow, we plan to add sunglasses and Rx eyeglasses. Our launch positioning is centered around offering unbeatable value – high levels of care and expertise at prices that significantly undercut the competition.
Given the digital-only launch, it will be essential to develop social media strategies that maximize performance and engagement, building out community and conversation around our brand.
