Essilor Expands Consumer Rebate Program

January 21, 2015

Essilor will expand The Power of 3 rebate program by adding a rebate incentive on Rx sunwear. The Power of 3X initiative, launching April 1, 2015, will continue to drive patients to their local independent ECP and offer a direct incentive to purchase premium lenses including: Crizal No-Glare, Transitions Adaptive, and Varilux progressive lenses, and new this year, Xperio UV, Essilor’s premium prescription polarized lenses.

The Power of 3 rebate program, only available through independent ECPs, will also be supported by Essilor’s national advertising campaigns, including television, radio and online media, which will drive consumers to find an independent eyecare professional through an exclusive online locator tool.

“The Power of 3 event increased consumer awareness of choice in lenses while providing ECPs the opportunity to maximize their patients’ vision and experience of premium branded lenses within their practices,” says Lauri Crawford, senior vice-president of marketing, Essilor of America. “The new Power of 3X program aims to continue to motivate consumers to visit their local independent practice, while also helping ECPs capitalize on the significantly under-penetrated prescription sunwear market with an enticing Xperio UV incentive.”

Through the Power of 3 program, participating independent ECPs will be able to offer their patients a rebate worth up to $30 back by mail when they purchase Crizal, Varilux and Transitions lenses, plus up to an additional $60 mail-in rebate with the purchase of Xperio UV prescription polarized lenses during the same office visit.

Patients are eligible to receive up to $90 in total mail-in rebates, with discounts as follows:

• $10 rebate for purchasing one featured product

• $20 rebate for purchasing two featured products

• $30 rebate if all three featured products are purchased

• And when a patient also purchases Xperio UV lenses as a second pair during the same office visit, patients can qualify for an additional mail-in rebate valued between $20 and $60

The Power of 3 program will run from April 1 – September 30, 2015. Enrollment for ECPs will begin on January 19, 2015.
