Warby Parker's retail footprint and DTC traffic generate buying signals SignalFlow maps into outbound sequences. Your existing customers shop there; the accounts you haven't reached yet are the ones SignalFlow finds. SUBJECT LINE Warby Parker's retail expansion is impressive — here's where they're losing deals OPENING (first 2 sentences) Warby Parker's retail footprint is a buying signal for every competitor in the eyewear DTC space.
