Elevator advertising in residential and office buildings reminds people it's time for an eye exam — and puts your optometry practice top of mind when they book.

Optometrists rely on a steady stream of new patients and returning clients for annual exams. But most people delay their eye appointments until a problem forces them to act. Traditional marketing — Google Ads, social posts, and flyers — only reaches people actively searching, missing the much larger group who simply need a nudge.
Elevator advertising works differently. By placing your practice's message in the residential buildings where potential patients live, you create gentle, repeated reminders. A well-crafted elevator ad about annual eye exams, new eyewear collections, or children's vision screening can prompt someone to finally book that overdue appointment.
Vertical Impression helps optometrists across Canada reach local patients in the buildings closest to their practice, turning daily elevator rides into booked appointments.
