Blog Post #2: Reflecting on Market Research Participation

Due to being in quarantine for most of the pandemic, I began posting more content on my social media platforms. Around that time, I had generated over 21k TikTok followers.

Since I was focused more on creating content for my platforms, Firmoo Opticals reached out to me about reviewing their glasses. They sell affordable yet trendy prescription eyeglasses and sunglasses for men, women, and children.

Firmoo contacted me and offered to provide me with two prescription glasses for one TikTok video. This featured me reviewing the product and explaining all of the features they offer, some being prescription, blue light protection, and various styles that are available. They also provided me with a code to share with my followers that may save them up to 40% off their total order, which helped me earn commission. I've been working with them on selling more affordable prescription eyeglasses for the past two years.

Since 2021, I've been reviewing their products and keeping my followers up to date on all of the new trendy designs they've been releasing. They just introduced glasses that help drivers with astigmatism, which causes hazy vision while staring at lights. I'm someone who spends most of my time in front of a screen because of school and work. I used to get frequent headaches until I tried Firmoo's blue light glasses. I've seen a big decrease in my headaches after using their blue light protection coating, which you may apply to your glasses.

After informing my followers on how much the blue light coating has helped me with my headaches, I discovered that many of them were dealing with the same problem. My recent video on reviewing their glasses gained over 40k views. The information I provided my followers regarding the coatings that Firmoo may apply to your eyeglasses can greatly help with all of the problems that could result from not seeing well. I believe that this helped the company gain more awareness since it helped them to learn how many people suffer from astigmatism or headaches as a result of spending so much time in front of screens. This allowed Firmoo to develop new features to tackle people's issue of having trouble seeing properly.
