Folks always think co-op is available for items like automobiles, appliances, carpeting, and flooring but often forget about items like eyewear and hearing aids. 86% of U.S. companies offer Health Care Flex Spending Accounts (FSA) for their employees. What are employees using their FSA funds for? Eye care, Eyeglasses, and Hearing aids are in the top 9!

If you have customers in the Eye care business (either doctors, eyewear stores, or both) or in the Hearing Aid business, it is a great idea to add a reminder in their advertising that they accept Flex Spending Accounts.

Below are just a few of the eyewear and hearing aid brands that offer co-op funding for their reseller network. Hopefully, you have clients selling some of these brands:
