🕵️ Our Biggest Competitor Isn’t Who You Think It Is
By Jim Bottomley, Bottomley Opticians
It’s amazing how many people say, “I never knew you were here!”
We have to smile — we’ve only been in Halifax since 1948. 🤓
Over the past few months, we’ve welcomed a steady stream of new clients onto our Eye Care Plan — many moving from Specsavers, Boots or Vision Express.
Every single one said a version of the same thing:
they didn’t know there was another way.
Until someone told them.
They weren’t unhappy where they were — they just didn’t realise what was possible when you take the time to sit down, human to human, talk, and really tailor something to them.
🧠 It Hit Me: Our Biggest Competitor Is Unawareness
We’re not trying to compete on price — that was never the point.
We built Bottomley Opticians around something we’re proud of:
✨ a slower, more thoughtful experience.
✨ craftsmanship, styling, and genuine expertise.
✨ a focus on you.
If you’ve only ever known the “quick test and pick your frames from the wall” kind of experience, you might not realise there’s another option — one where the coffee’s on, the frames are curated for your style, and your vision is cared for with precision-quality lenses.
That’s what we do.
And we love helping people see another way — to eyewear, and to eyecare.
