What is Optipro?
Optipro is a unique buying and marketing group established to strengthen the competitive position of independent full-scope optical professionals in Australia. We support our members by negotiating discounted prices with key suppliers and accessing sought after brands and product lines that would otherwise be difficult to obtain.
In addition, Optipro Australia provides members with comprehensive marketing support and training that can be accessed according to need. While all of our members are obliged to integrate the Optipro brand with their own name on their shopfront, they are free to choose whether to take advantage of our localised advertising campaigns, product brochures, uniforms and website links. Our members are able to take advantage of branded corporate uniforms and stationery.
Freedom to purchase the brands your customers want
Unlike many buying and marketing groups Optipro will not control the purchases you make. Members are free to purchase the products in the quantities they need, from the suppliers they want to deal with.
No membership fees
There are no start up or annual membership fees for Optipro members however you will be required to purchase 3,000 shares in the group if you'd like to become a shareholder member. These shares are fully redeemable should you wish to conclude your membership and return an annual dividend based on 50% of the group’s net profits. To find out more click here.
Meet the Founder
George Nasser first conceived the idea for Optipro Australia some 12 years ago. However it wasn’t until two years ago that he felt the Optical industry was ready for a dedicated buying and marketing group that allowed members to retain absolute independence. George has spent the last two years researching buying and marketing groups, working with suppliers and preparing the ground work to ensure that Optipro Australia can provide independent Optometrists with the ability to successfully compete against Australia’s large Optometric franchises.
