Gunn Jingle for Southern Optical

Well what a roller coaster of a year 2020 has been so far! Who would have picked at the beginning of it that many of us would be forced to close our businesses and stay at home for a month.

Post lock down there has been a lot of talk about supporting local businesses. For me if you have a choice between local and foreign owned large cooperation and the service and price is roughly comparable then it’s a no brainer to support the local operation. Southern Optical is 100% locally owned and this means that profits stay in the south and flow through the community.

It has been really encouraging to see an increase in people mentioning that they want to support us because we are local and I'd personally like to thank all our customers for choosing Southern Optical as their eye care provider.

Kiwi icon Jason Gunn wanted to help small local businesses with some increased exposure by creating some entertaining jingles. Southern Optical was the first business in New Zealand to be chosen for this honor.

Singing to the theme of Vanilla Ice’s song Ice Ice Baby Jason Gunn twisted the words to Eyes Eyes Baby. The catchy jingle was released on Jason Gunn’s Facebook and Instagram. Channel 3’s The Project also played it when they interviewed Jason.

The jingle has provided a little humor with us and our customers which has been much appreciated in these uncertain Covid times.
