Another feature that makes Warby Parker attractive to people is that they are similar to TOMS Shoes, on the principle of buy a pair and give a pair of glasses. When a pair is bought they distribute a pair to someone in need. They saw a need that people from around the world don’t have access to see clearly, which is a wide scale problem. Warby Parker is working to address this issue with helping people gain access to glasses to be able to see.
Warby Parker Nonprofit Partnership
One element that differs for Warby is they use a little different method of the one for one model. They work with a nonprofit organization Vision Spring. Vision Spring then will provide glasses and offers to train low income entrepreneurs in developing countries to start their business selling eye glasses. In turn these entrepreneurs are able to serve individuals in communities that might not have access to glasses otherwise. It would hopefully help these individuals to help return to work then being that they can see again. It’s a win for everyone when you purchase with Warby Parker.
