I was turned on to TOMS shoes, a shoe company that gives a pair of shoes to those that don't have any for every pair you buy, earlier this year and loved the story and the concept. I proceeded to purchase a pair for me, and a pair for my daughter. They're awesome!! I had just read The Go Giver (highly recommended!!) and the TOMS story exemplified the concepts in that great book, emphasizing giving as a core principle for any successful business, and life!
Today I just found another company doing the same thing but for eyeglasses! Warby Parker will donate a pair of prescription glasses for every pair you buy. They have a cool virtual try on application on their website - you use a webcam picture of yourself to 'try on' different frames. They also let you select 5 frames to try on at home - free shipping on everything.
In both cases, the prices are extremely reasonable. Totally loving the expansion of giving as a core value in business!!!
