Our first interview!

It’s always rewarding to see your hard work paying off in a positive way.

I met Lynnette Grande, the Director of Advertising Sales for Eyecare Professional Magazine, this year while we were at the International Vision Expo in New York.  Lynnette and I had a great conversation outside our booth, discussing Cendrine’s designs and trying on our favorites for ourselves.  (I have too many favorites, by the way!)  At the time, we were not officially ZIG Eyewear USA, but that wasn’t too far off.  Lynnette and I stayed in touch, e-mailing and speaking via phone about how things were coming along with our company’s progress.

When I received a call from Lynnette in mid-November, I had no idea what an amazing opportunity she had for us.  Each month, Eyecare Professional spotlights a particular business in the optical industry, and interviews a member of their team for their magazine.  Their scheduled feature interviewee was unavailable to complete the interview by the publishing deadline, so Lynnette thought of us as an up-and-coming eyewear company in the United States market.  Would we be interested in being a part of this feature?  Um, yes please!

Natasha, our Business Director, was interviewed for this article, and we’re really excited to share it with you.

Here’s the link to our article.

In addition to this interview, one of our ZIGGYs is also mentioned in the frames feature of the magazine.  Here’s the link to the feature, and here’s the frame.  It’s one of Cendrine’s newest designs, and it’s already a top seller!
