Heldere uitleg van Mark Rutte, winkels vooralsnog open

Minister-President Mark Rutte legde gisteren in heldere taal uit hoe het nu precies zit met het Corona virus en wat de strategie is. De winkels zijn gewoon open maar passen zich uiteraard aan de richtlijnen aan…

Proberen het virus te voorkomen is geen optie omdat het dan later alsnog uitbreekt, het onbeperkt zijn gang laten gaan ook niet omdat de zorg dat niet aan zou kunnen. Dus kiezen de specialisten en het kabinet voor een gecontroleerde uitbraak waarbij (groeps)immuniteit opgebouwd kan worden omdat iedereen die het virus in milde of ernstigere vorm gehad heeft weerstand opbouwt en zo verdere verspreiding voorkomt. Logisch verhaal en heldere uitleg.

Uiteraard staat in de winkels op deze website uw gezondheid en die van de medewerkers voorop en doet iedereen zijn uiterste best een bijdrage te leveren aan het voorkomen van een ongecontroleerde uitbraak van het virus.

De winkels op deze website zijn over het algemeen gewoon open al hebben sommige opticiens de openingstijden enigszins aangepast. Check dus voor een bezoek even de websites of sociale media van de desbetreffende winkel.

Bovendien wordt er meer dan voorheen op afspraak gewerkt zodat zowel de personeelsbezetting als het aantal klanten in de winkel enigszins gereguleerd kunnen worden. Gewoon langskomen kan in de meeste winkels nog wel maar vooraf een afspraak maken is nog beter.

Kijk op onze winkelpagina voor emailadressen en telefoonnummers van de winkels.

Vanzelfsprekend wordt er veel aandacht besteed aan de hygiëne en worden alle apparatuur en instrumenten na ieder gebruik met alcohol gereinigd.

Begroetingen zijn mondeling en alle medewerkers houden zo veel als mogelijk de geadviseerde afstand aan.

Niet direct noodzakelijke contactlenscontroles worden verschoven naar een later tijdstip, wanneer u klachten heeft, staat iedereen natuurlijk direct voor u klaar.

Contactlenzen kunnen gewoon besteld worden. Bestelde contactlenzen en bijvoorbeeld halfjaar pakketten kunnen in de winkels afgehaald of in de meeste gevallen thuisbezorgd worden.

Medewerkers zijn alleen aanwezig als ze absoluut geen klachten hebben en topfit zijn. Let u er alstublieft ook op dat u de winkels alleen bezoekt als u geen klachten heeft, niet hoest, niest of zich niet lekker voelt. In dat geval adviseren wij u uw bezoek nog even uit te stellen.

Samen met u kunnen wij dit allemaal aan en kijken we het liefste weer vooruit naar een tijd waarin we elkaar weer gewoon kunnen begroeten en u op de normale manier van dienst kunnen zijn!

Zoals Martin Luther King ooit zei:

‘we may have come on different ships but we are in the same boat now’

Laten we er met elkaar het beste van maken!

NanaWoody&John Opticians of the Year are located in Didam and Zuidlaren

The NanaWoody&John Opticians of the Year have been announced. All six nominated stores of this year...

Beeks Oog & Oor from 's-Gravenzande, Konings Optiek from Veenendaal and 't-Brillehuus from Didam for Optician of the Year

And JIJ brillenenmeer from Zuidlaren, Brilstudio from Soest and Boutique Optique from Oosterbeek for Newcomer Optician of the Year - are great and inspiring ambassadors for all independent opticians and actually even for all independent retailers in our country. Together they symbolize many beautiful and fine independent stores that we really cannot do without.

This year, 't-Brillehuus and JIJ brillenenmeer went home with the Optician of the Year and Newcomer Optician of the Year Award respectively.

The many reactions to the nominations and now to the Awards on our social media and those of the stores show how much customers appreciate these entrepreneurs and care about them, and that is exactly what you do it all for as an independent entrepreneur.

To quote Kevin Roberts. They are all LOVEMARKS!

These NanaWoody&John Awards are on the one hand a recognition of and appreciation for entrepreneurship and on the other hand an encouragement for other (young) entrepreneurs. As an independent store you add something to every city and village that branches of chains and large retail companies will never be able to do. Let us cherish our independent stores! SHOP LOCAL!

NanaWoody&John announces nominations for Dutch Optician of the Year

The end of the year is traditionally the moment for the NanaWoody&John Optician of the Year Award. With the input of all suppliers/brands participating in the digital optician guide for the consumer, three shops have been nominated.

They each distinguish themselves in their own way through entrepreneurship, the courage to invest in beautiful and special shops and of course through excellent eye care and beautiful collections. Each of them is an ambassador for independent opticians.

The nominations for the NanaWoody&John
Optician of the Year are

Konings Opticien & Optometrist in Veenendaal

’t Brillehuus at Didam

Beeks Oog & Oor at ’s-Gravenzande

Newcomer Optician of the Year

For the first time this year a Newcomer Optician of the Year will also be chosen. The nominated stores show that you can also and perhaps especially in these times successfully start a new store and they also distinguish themselves, just like the three stores just mentioned, with original store design, perfect eye care and beautiful collections.

Newcomer Optician of the Year are

Announcement of the winners at the Masters Expo in Amsterdam

The announcement of the final winners will be extra special this year because it will take place for the first time on the unique stage of the Masters Expo that will take place in Amsterdam from 12 to 16 December. This unique event, which is experiencing its 23rd edition this year, is a tribute to entrepreneurship and the ambition to distinguish yourself. The 40,000 square meter exhibition space is full of entrepreneurs who have built a great company with vision, courage and belief in their own abilities, so the nominated opticians and the presentation of the Awards fit in perfectly.

NanaWoody&John has a beautiful stand together with Club BRILLANT and the partner brands Cazal, Masunaga, L.G.R, Lapima, Jaguar, Henry Jullien, Brett, Pucci and Moncler where the 40,000 visitors are warmly welcomed to discover the most beautiful (sun)glasses and will be informed about innovations in eye care and the best opticians in the Netherlands.

NanaWoody&John in major Dutch newspaper Algemeen Dagblad

Last Saturday, Dutch newspaper Algemeen Dagblad devoted extensive attention to glasses. The occasion was the 90th birthday of Nana Mouskouri.

The Greek singer became famous mainly through her music, but she also stood out because of her inseparable black glasses. The story about this was beautifully recorded by journalist Alexander van Eenennaam, who naturally came across www.nanawoodyandjohn.com during his search for information. After all, our name was inspired by Nana Mouskouri, Woody Allen and John Lennon, all of them well known for their iconic glasses. Contact was quickly made and ultimately resulted in almost two pages with a leading role for glasses.

(Sun)glasses can play an important role in creating an image like no other accessory. The article mentions numerous examples and there are of course many more. Perhaps you are one of those people who choose their glasses carefully for this reason.

NanaWoody&John wants to inspire and encourage everyone to choose a really beautiful pair of glasses that accentuates your personality and contributes to your self-confidence instead of a boring characterless frame. That is why we also like to refer you to passionate opticians with a love for their profession and with beautiful collections in their stores!

Fantastic contributions from Bobo's/Serengeti and Max voor Ogen to the Orange Babies project

During the NanaWoody&John Night at the Club last November in Amsterdam, Fiona Hering and Baba Sylla spoke passionately about the work of Orange Babies in Africa.

For 25 years, this organization has been committed to preventing children of HIV-infected mothers from also being born with the disease. They do great work and saved many lifes already. I have known Baba and Fiona and the work of Orange Babies for a long time, so the connection was quickly made. This year, NanaWoody&John and its partner stores and suppliers are committed to raising money to purchase a new mobile clinic for Orange Babies in South Africa.

All kinds of initiatives are now being developed and the first results are already known. Max voor Ogen in Schagen set aside a nice amount from every pair of glasses sold in January and recently donated the first 1,250 euros.

Bobo’s Sports Eyewear did the same for every Serengeti sunglasses sold in February and earlier this week presented a check for no less than 5,460 euros to Fiona and Baba.

Thanks to these two generous and committed donors, the counter already stands at 6,710 euros at the beginning of March and, as mentioned, there are many more great plans on their way, such as the special Scotch & Soda sunglasses, the proceeds of which will also go to Orange Babies.

We and Orange Babies are extremely grateful for all the support and we will keep you posted about new results in the months to come. I think with this collaboration the independent opticians and their suppliers show how they make the difference in every shopping street and everyone can contribute by shopping local at independent stores!

Vogue tips Victoria Beckham as the most popular brand of 2024

It's still early in the year and they don't have a crystal ball at Vogue either, but the fashion magazine still dares to make a prediction.

It bases this largely on the Lyst Index, which keeps track of how often a brand or item from a brand is googled. Victoria Beckham has been doing remarkably well in this regard lately. This is partly due to the extremely popular Netflix documentary about the Beckhams and the humorous way in which she responded with the popular 'My Dad had a Rolls Royce' t-shirt. More serious is her Frame Buckle belt with the beautifully styled logo, which ended up at number 2 of the most searched for products after the Margaux bag from The Row. In short, Victoria Beckham is not the largest fashion brand in the world, but it is very popular at the moment. And the designers cleverly include that beautiful 'buckle' of the belt in the sunglasses collection that is now in stores. Click here for a store near you!
