See how much more frame profit your optical practice could earn.
Compare the cost of an in-line frame purchased from the manufacturer with a comparable off-price frame from the same designer through MJG Trading. Both are brand-new, authentic, in the original case with cleaning cloth. The difference is what your practice pays for the frame — and how much frame profit you keep.
In this real example, an in-line frame purchased from the manufacturer generated $82.60 in frame-level gross profit. A comparable off-price frame from the same designer through MJG Trading generated $167.50 — an additional $84.90 per frame.

How this is calculated
Additional profit per frame = Cost of the in-line frame minus cost of the off-price frame
The revenue you collect cancels out of that difference, it only changes the percentage, not the dollars. That is why the difference goes straight to frame-level gross profit no matter your fee schedule.
Additional monthly frame profit = Additional profit per frame times frames per month · Additional annual frame profit = Monthly times 12

Common questions about off-price eyewear
Is off-price eyewear authentic and factory-new?
Yes. Every frame is a brand-new, authentic product from the same designer, sourced through off-price and closeout channels instead of standard in-line wholesale. Nothing about the frame itself changes.
Does the merchandise include the original case and cleaning cloth?
In most cases, yes. Frames typically ship with their original case and cleaning cloth. If either is missing on a specific item, that is noted upfront so there are no surprises.
Do I need to replace my in-line collections?
No. Off-price eyewear from MJG Trading is designed to complement your existing frame board, not replace it. Many practices add it alongside their in-line collections to improve margin on specific lines.
Can I use off-price eyewear on only part of my frame board?
Yes. You choose which lines to source off-price and which to keep in-line. There is no requirement to convert your entire board at once.
What if I don’t know the cost of a comparable off-price frame?
Use the 80% default in the calculator above as a starting point, then apply for wholesale access or schedule a short call for an exact quote on your highest-volume lines.
How often does MJG Trading inventory change?
Frequently. Inventory is broad and changes on an ongoing basis, so availability on any specific style can shift — the sooner you register, the sooner you can see current stock.
Is there a minimum order?
No. MJG Trading has no minimum order requirement.
Can multi-location optical practices purchase from MJG Trading?
Yes. MJG Trading works with both single-location independent practices and multi-location optical groups.
