How Warby Parker Grew From Eyeglasses Upstart To $1.8 Billion Business

[@TwicebakedJake]

They now sell expensive lenses at physical locations. They literally became exactly what they tried to tear down.

[@vl1180]

They said in store prices are $95…

[@kateriniker5934]

@@vl1180 They have some nicer dynamic designs for more than $100. Yet majority remain around $95!

[@dwayne9959]

You adapt or you go out of business. "Expensive" is relative. You price what the market will pay. Hence why its a billion dollar company now.

[@Jhene_Simone]

$95 is the base price before choosing the lens type, anti fatigue, blue light blocking, etc everything is an add on and my recent pair was $325 so let’s not sit here and act like $95 glasses are being sold anymore lmao

[@DarrylMarshall-k9j]

Who cares... You're in business to make money...

[@GeovanniFay-m3r]

I remember when I just got into crypto back in 2019 but later in 2020 I ended up selling it because I was dumb and I didn't understand it. I studied and learned and now I know how it works. Got back into crypto early in 2023 with 10k and I’m up with 128k in a short period of time .This comment serves as motivation for all those who have invested and continue to invest in cryptocurrencies with so many losses, do not give up, cryptocurrencies can change your life. Do your best to connect with the right people and you will surely see changes.

[@MarilouCole-k2y]

I'm new to cryptocurrency and don't understand how it really works. how Can someone know the right approach to investing and making good profits from cryptocurrency investments?

[@NewellBeahan-s2u]

As a beginner what do I need to do? How can I invest, on which platform? If you know any please share.

[@GeovanniFay-m3r]

As a beginner investor, it’s essential for you to have a mentor to keep you accountable. Myself, I’m guided by Adam Jeremy. A widely known crypto consultant

[@EmmanuelleRempel-d8h]

I'm surprised that this name is being mentioned here, I stumbled upon one of his clients testimonies on CNBC news last week...

[@GeovanniFay-m3r]

I started working with Adam Jeremy back in June, and my financial goals have never been clearer. It’s like having a strategic partner for my money with a solid track record.

[@SnowmanTwin07]

The Japanese eyewear brand Jins is better, they get your glasses made in 30 minutes. Their quality is so good and lightweight!

[@detroitvinyl]

Jins and quality in the same sentence...? If you have a prescription maybe, but their tests are NOT high quality. I'm glad you had a positive experience with them but imo Megane Ichiba (which is only a bit more expensive than Jins) glasses last longer and are cheaper in the long run.

[@jjbdbd8279]

Not only are they affordable but their marketing is unique and effective!!!

[@Emche826]

I tried to order glasses online. Put in my prescription info and everything. They kept emailing me back for more info about my lenses. I'm like isnt this their job? So I just cancelled my order.

[@acampbell1320]

I didn't know they had retail locations. Thanks to this video, I found a location near me. Crazy that they were initally planning to sell the glasses for $45.

[@johntatman8182]

I think it's awesome you brought back glasses from the 70s😮

[@gameloser123]

amazing growth of a business. still not profitable is surprising

[@manoftomorrow5987]

Because they do and still Underestimate their cost. But lenders will look at their growth potential and cash flow and still lend them money. But it’s not sustainable man…a lot of business bubbles have burst that way.

Creating wealth entails establishing positive routines, such as consistently setting aside funds at regular intervals for sound investments. Financial management is a vital subject that many avoid, often leading to future regrets. I wish everyone reading this the best of luck in achieving success!

[@HunterWeldon]

You're right

[@HunterWeldon]

Starting crypto trade was the best decision I ever made

[@DoroDeejarh]

speaking of crypto trading I know I am blessed if not I wouldn't have met someone who is as spectacular as mrs Caitlin albrecht

[@DoroDeejarh]

The very first time i tried, i invested $2000 and after a week, i received $19000. That really helps me a lot to pay up bills

I enjoyed owning a pair, but they are not as good as they used to be. But i respect their market cap well done

[@VictorImeOfficial]

I usually look up your videos for updates! Our government has no idea how people are suffering these days. I feel for people with disabilities not getting the help they deserve. Thank you Mrs Emily L Romano, imagine investing $12,000 and received $305,500.

[@RebeccaEmily-s8h]

You're correct!! I make a lot of money without relying on the government. Investing in stocks and digital currencies is beneficial at this moment

[@RaymondClinton-g1m]

Mrs Emily L Romano was my hope during the 'bear summer' last year. I did so many mistakes but also learned so much from it, and of course from Emily L Romano.

[@juliealino7955]

I have been more and more unhappy with them as of late. My insurance benefits didn’t ring up correctly. Customer service doesn’t know anything about insurance. They used to replace lenses but don’t anymore. Now you have to get a whole new set for a $50 discount. Don’t know what happened but definitely has gone downhill the past few years

[@traver.traveler]

Once a business scales that much, it gets harder and harder to keep the same level of service

If you price low customers will not buy because they assume something is wrong with the product if it’s too cheap.

[@kursorken]

The glasses is expensive because of the lens, not the frame. The guy's $700 glasses probably cost $4-500 in lens.

Not profitable but each CEO makes $400k welcome to the twisted world of Csuite lol

[@jackFatal]

The measure of profit depends on multiple factors so don't always trust the net income on P&L. If the financial statements were alarming you would see a drop in stock . I'm sure the value Created (EBITDA) is fairly positive , it's how they decide to spend that surplus ( in R&D expenses for example ) that make them not profitable

[@mistermood4164]

400k for Csuite Executives is not that crazy.

[@Daksh-s2b]

So expensive

[@danevosler]

....they haven't "made it"
