One of the first things merchants ask us is, “Why would someone pay more for safety glasses? It’s a fair question.
After all, you can walk into almost any merchant branch and pick up a pair of safety glasses for a few pounds.
But the interesting thing is that once people actually see a pair of Salus glasses, try them on and compare them with what they’re currently wearing, the conversation usually changes quite quickly.
The reality is that we’re not trying to replace every pair of safety glasses on the market.
What we’re offering is a premium alternative for contractors who wear eye protection day in, day out and want something comfortable, durable and looks good enough to wear beyond the site gate.
More and more contractors are prepared to spend money on tools, workwear and equipment that they’ll use every day. We think eyewear belongs in that category too.
The merchants that are having success with premium products understand that customers aren’t always looking for the cheapest option. They’re often looking for the best option.
