Sponsors

Reach the people who make the decisions — and the people who will.

Our readers are independent optical professionals, practice owners and the employed optometrists, dispensing opticians and optical assistants who are actively considering independence. Some already own their practice. Some are twelve months away from opening one. Some are five years away and building toward it.

At every stage they are making decisions. About products. About suppliers. About the services, equipment and partners they will work with when they get there — and in many cases the brands they choose when they get there are the brands they already know and trust. There is currently no dedicated channel to reach this audience. Until now.

Who we work with.

We work with a small number of sponsors whose products and services are genuinely relevant to independent optical practice. Frame suppliers and eyewear brands. Practice management software. Equipment providers. Financial and professional services. CPD and education providers.
We do not work with the multiples. We do not carry advertising from corporate optical chains or franchise networks. Our editorial independence is the reason our readers trust us and we protect it absolutely.

Sponsorship opportunities.

The Optical Independent carries a strictly limited number of sponsors at any one time. This is deliberate. Fewer sponsors means more visibility, more relevance and a more credible environment for the brands that appear here.

We currently have one sponsorship space available.

If your business serves independent optical practices and you want to be in front of the people who run them — and the people who soon will — we want to hear from you.
