20/20 Money Episode #245 – The Importance of Tracking Frame Turn for Profitability in Your Optical with Kayla Ashlee

Welcome to this episode of 20/20 Money! My guest on today’s show is Kayla Ashlee. Kayla is the creator behind Spexy, an online training platform that’s built to help independent ODs and their teams make the most out of their optical and empower them to embrace change in their practice. Kayla joins me back on the show to talk about the importance of tracking frame turnover in your optical and how important it is to track that data and what it can mean for your numbers. We also talk about pricing within your optical, defining the basic econ term “price elasticity of demand,” independent brands vs “the big names” and its impact on optical, how ODs should think about evaluating frames, and the “kiss of death” in optical based on the threshold of limited retail to showcase in your practice.
