Costas survey finds that opticians’ pricing confuses consumers
11-10-2010
62% of over 60s find opticians' pricing hard to understand
In a recent survey of Spanish eyeglass wearers in the Costa del Sol and Costa Blanca, it was discovered that a significant percentage of consumers find optical pricing unclear and difficult to understand. The results point to confusing pricing with unclear or unpublished costs for lenses and lens treatments, leading to a nasty and expensive surprise when consumers reach the till.
Unclear pricing was experienced by Costas consumers of all ages, with 29% of the survey’s respondents saying they found pricing confusing. However, in the vulnerable over 60s age group, which need the most optical care, that figure rose to a huge 62%. The survey, conducted by Advent Communication of Malaga and commissioned by Specsavers Opticas, interviewed 397 eyeglass wearers in four separate Costa towns.
The survey also found that the average price paid by respondents for a pair of glasses was €360.
“The results indicate that some opticians need to listen to their customers and offer clearer, more affordable pricing,” said Specsavers Opticas’ business development manager José Ángel Moral-Tajadura. “Eye health is important, and in these tough economic times on the Costas, consumers must have quality optical care at a fair price. Specsavers Opticas hopes to lead the way to show the Spanish optical industry that it can be done. ”
Specsavers is already popular among expats living on the Costas, since it is a well-known brand in the U.K. and Nordic region. Specsavers Opticas is engaged in a marketing campaign now to reach out to Spanish consumers who might not be as familiar with the company. There are four Specsavers Opticas stores on the Costas, in Fuengirola, Calpe, Jávea and Torrevieja.
