**Implications** - The biggest lesson from these Unif Ottico sunglasses to be learned is that it doesn't always take a drastic transformation of a product's capabilities in order to redefine its appeal. By simply making their sunglasses transparent, Unif Ottico demonstrates how businesses looking to attract new consumers (and re-entice old ones) need only find a creative way to stand out from the crowd. In this way even a product as old and as familiar as sunglasses can seem new and exciting year after year.
