For Eyes Optical Settles Debate On Accepting Different Points Of View
"No Matter How You See It, See It For Less" Anchors New TV Spots From DeVito/Verdi
NEW YORK, July 18, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- A series of new 15-second television commercials for For Eyes Optical focuses on meaningless and unresolved topics of debate, while leaving no argument as to overpaying for fashionable eyewear.
Whether one's personal preference is blondes over brunettes, vanilla over chocolate, or even castor oil over prune juice as a laxative, the spots advise viewers: "However you see it, see it for less."
The new commercials from For Eyes Optical's long-time agency, DeVito/Verdi, show a sparse debate stage where two differing points of view are monotonously and succinctly volleyed back and forth. In one spot, two Europeans go back and forth on their beachwear preference for the man-kini or the thong. Another spot shows two voluptuous women simply stating their hair color in the debate as to which one is superior.
In addition to the five "debate" commercials, two other spots round out the new campaign. These two commercials carry the line "You'll never regret a second pair," as they communicate the brand's core business concept of two pair of eyeglasses for $99. These two commercials remind us that glasses inevitably get misplaced, lost, or chewed on by pets.
Created by the New York advertising agency DeVito/Verdi, the campaign begins airing in mid July and running through the fall.

"This campaign has fun with differing points of view and the figurative and literal nature in espousing them. No matter what you think, it's easy to find common ground with the fact that eyewear shouldn't be expensive," said Ellis Verdi, president of DeVito/Verdi.
