Your OSA member entry on Opchat News Supplier’s Directory is awaiting your input.

Take a look at the ways you can connect to over 7500 Optical Practices and owners each week 24/7 with frequent campaign changes.

All OSA members receive significant discounts when marketing on Opchat News as the OSA have partnered with us to offer you as OSA members extra benefits and to highlight to the Optical Community your OSA membership in the Opchat Supplier’s Directory.

Amongst the many benefits the OSA provides to its members they now include significant discounts for inclusion into the brand-new Opchat Suppliers Directory to all members as well as savings on different levels of sponsorship.

To make sure OSA members are well represented and seen by our 7500+ readership of opticians within the directory, we will show on every entry for each company that they are OSA members.

We hope this will encourage a growth in OSA membership and therefore we have reduced the cost of a directory entry by half for OSA members.
