Eyebuydirect's get-one-free sale starts tomorrow!

nospam@example.com (Adam Zekmueller) — Sun, 19 Jul 2009 19:51:00 -0400

Well, once or twice a year EyeBuyDirect does a buy one get one free sale. This time, it is for a whole week! (usually it is just one day)

It starts MONDAY, July 20th and ends SUNDAY, July 26th.

This is probably the best sale in the whole online eyewear industry. If you miss the sale this week, another one will (probably) come along in six months or so. If you're reading this too late and you di missed the sale, don't forget about my exclusive coupon for 12% off (see code in the right-hand column of this web page).

Click above to visit Eyebuydirect.com and enjoy the sale! Sorry about the ugly and loud banner, but I think that I need to post it to give you a link to the sale.

Deal of the Week at EyeBuyDirect

nospam@example.com (Adam Zekmueller) — Wed, 29 Apr 2009 14:52:28 -0400

I always thought parsley was a plant. And only a plant. In fact, the parsley for my kitchen garden just bolted to seed. But "parsley" is what EyeBuyDirect named the frame shown above.

But the point is, EyeBuyDirect has been offering certain frames at half off or even better for a very limited time. This week's deal is the frame shown above, named "Parsley" with lenses for $8.95. That's seriously cheap. What do you have to lose?

In case you can't tell, those are girl's glasses. And they're cute.

Visit EyeBuyDirect.com for this week's Deal of the Week.

GlassesUSA.com -- "We want to change the way Americans buy glasses."

nospam@example.com (Adam Zekmueller) — Sun, 19 Apr 2009 08:35:14 -0400

What are we getting when we buy glasses online? My experience has been that we spend less and receive a really decent pair of glasses. Sites like BestBuyEyeglasses give us top-quality designer glasses for 40% less than we would pay at the eyewear store. EyeBuyDirect gives us really inexpensive glasses that do the trick.

Until now, I haven't seen a company online offering a middle ground -- glasses that aren't as pricey as designer frames but not as inexpensive as those on EyeBuyDirect . GlassesUSA.com seems to be taking on this market -- reasonably priced, high quality frames. I had a chance to send a couple emails back and forth with their marketing director:

All of our glasses are manufactured according to US guidelines- we actually surpass US guidelines during our manufacturing process...we are a group of people who are fed up with high priced eyeglasses made horribly. You can go to Target and WalMart to buy a pair of frames and the glasses are just barely up to industry standards.
We want to change the way Americans buy glasses...I went to America's Best to purchase my 2 frames for $69.95. I still have headaches when I wear those glasses. Yet, my glasses from GlassesUSA cause me no problems, no double vision- no headaches...I'm out to change. I believe in the company. Have you ever worked somewhere that you honestly believed in the work you do? That is how I feel about GlassesUSA. I love my job!
-Hillary Rubin, Creative Marketing Director, GlassesUSA.com

Hillary said she would send me a pair of glasses for review. So I'll let all of you know firsthand if they live up to the fairly high expectations I have for this company. Thus far, I am impressed with their product selection. A minor problem I have had at some of the online eyewear stores is a lack of selection of glasses with 140mm temples. The 135mm temples tend to be a bit short on my head. A minor issue, but something I have observed. For a gal, 135mm is fine, for most men, it tends to be a bit short.

The site has user reviews for many of their frames. I'm impressed with the "Columbus Black" rimless frames, these are pictured below. They have 2 4 star+ reviews and run $60 including a basic lens.

For women, the Hilarie Black reminds me of the glasses Tina Fey wears. $32 including a basic lens.

As a fairly new retailer, GlassesUSA.com has some decent promos going on. Use code: 2gusa15 for 15% off any two pairs. Use code GUSA10 for 10% off any order. Click here to go to GlassesUSA.com
