Jewelry Display Tips and Tricks for Online Shops

Transform clicks to earnings with jewelry showcases that make the online crowd go “wow!”

Whether you’re a newbie or already have a few years of online jewelry selling, your mind must probably be in constant work mode, trying to come up with ways to keep people’s interest. This is a good headspace to be in, especially now that more entrepreneurs started bringing their shops online. Jewelry display photos needed to be leveled up to keep the public’s attention much longer to earn sales, and now this article will show you tips that you can apply to your own store.

Look for inspiration online and offline

Ever noticed how fashion magazines do product layouts? Don’t be afraid to look for ideas when you’re trying to come up with photo concepts for your products. You may browse through world-renowned fashion magazines like Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar for ideas. If you’re sticking to online, these magazines also have digital versions that you can look up or you may visit Instagram and Pinterest for inspiration. 

You don’t have to necessarily completely copy their setups, but you can look at patterns and colors and choose the ones that make sense for your brand.

Explore video to give customers 36-degree views of your products

There are advantages to static photos, but they can’t entirely show the beauty of your products. Give your online shoppers the same experience as an in-store viewing with 360-degree views. Whether you choose to go with a model or a jewelry platform for presentation, 360-degree videos can showcase the complete details of your precious merchandise. 

Invest in good camera equipment

Photo clarity is of the utmost importance when it comes to photographing jewelry for display online. You need to be able to capture even the tiniest details when shooting jewelry pieces while they are perched on your chosen jewelry mannequin or stand. Having the right camera in the right settings, along with the right equipment (tripod, camera remote, lights, box) can make this possible. 

Extend your products reach to social media

Take advantage of the many opportunities that today’s digital landscape gives its users. Social media channels such as Instagram, for example, provide plenty of chances for you to showcase your products outside of your store. Aside from static photos, you can create videos using the Stories feature, as well as tap influencers to promote your product on their pages. Setting up an Instagram Business account also lets you use the feature called Instagram Shopping. This allows business owners the ability to tag specific items in their product photos which indicates their prices, as well as direct links to their respective product pages in your online store.

Success online depends on hard work, creativity, and excellent customer service. Plus, having the right supplier-partner doesn’t hurt either! With Nile Corp by your side, you can be assured of only the right jewelry display tools and supplies that will help you reach the top.

4 Ways to Showcase Stud Earrings

These classic jewelry items also deserve their time in the spotlight.

Photo by Sabrinna Ringquist on Unsplash

A go-to fashion staple, stud earrings are simple and classy jewelry options fit for all ages. While big and bold earrings may sometimes take the spotlight away from these miniature beauties, there’s a reason why jewelry lovers and style mavens always have a few pairs in their collections. Simply put, they are a must-have for any jewelry shop to have. Find out how you can best show off these earrings in this article.

Careful grouping is key

It’s easy for a pair or two to get lost in the shuffle if you decide to group stud earrings together. You can resolve this issue by grouping together earrings that have different shapes and designs that would still match well together. You can also sort stud earrings with the same designs together by displaying them in different colors. You can apply that technique by putting individual pairs of stud earrings in something like this angled earring display stand placed side by side.

Neutral colors work well for colorful studs and stones

The contrast between neutral backgrounds and colors always work when you want tiny stud earrings to pop out of a canvass. Avoid patterns at all costs as they can easily overwhelm daintier jewelry pieces.

Keep a sense of balance all the time

Just as you wouldn’t use a busy backdrop for displaying stud earrings, you also wouldn’t want to pair your tiny pieces with big and bold accessories. You can, however, pair up your stud jewelry with a few chandelier pairs, but remember to choose those with soft details and thin widths. Avoid items that will overwhelm the small ones you want to show off.

White light favors your jewelry merchandise

If you’re thinking of getting lighting fixtures, choose those LED lights that emit white light as they are perfect for highlighting even the tiniest details. Warmer, yellow tones have a tendency to blur stones so you’re better off avoiding them.

How to Generate Black Friday Buzz for Your Jewelry Shop

 What you need to do to stand out in this shopper’s holiday.

Black Friday in 2020 may be vastly different from all the previous Black Fridays but that’s no reason to rest easy this year! While the COVID-19 pandemic created new challenges to retailers everywhere, many learned to be flexible and adapted to the current climate. Entrepreneurs from different industries shifted their business to the digital sphere which led to a boom in online shopping and deliveries. All of a sudden more people chose to remain at home and did their shopping online. That may very be the same scenario when Black Friday arrives this year, but we’re sure plenty will still continue with the tradition of shopping in person.

Whether you’re sticking to digital for now or readying your brick and mortar for holiday shoppers, here are some tips to help you market your jewelry items for the big day.

Make sure your merchandise look their best online and offline

This is the perfect time to take stock of your inventory and see which ones you will be including in your sales promos. It could be a mix of old bestsellers, some hard-to-sell items that may generate interest in Black Friday shoppers, and new designs that you’re keen to launch on the day.

Next, you need to make sure you’re showcasing them in the best light possible by using high-quality jewelry display tools. Capture the attention and imagination of shoppers whether online and offline using great retail setups. If you will be selling at a physical store, it’s a good idea to take on themed displays to highlight your jewelry merchandise. If you'll be selling online, taking good care to create beautiful product photos and fashion shoots are the keys to success. 

This elegant bust-type necklace display stand will make for an excellent holder to showcase your store’s necklace collection both in-store and on the internet.

Come up with sales promotions to offer shoppers awesome deals

Black Friday is the day of monumental retail promos and gimmicks guaranteed to get customers to shop till they drop. A little bit of creativity goes a long way when trying to win over buyers and keeping them away from your competitors. Here are just some of our ideas off the top of our heads:

1. Flash Sales

While Black Friday is an all-day bargain hunting affair, you can designate certain hours on Black Friday or even days before the holiday to conduct flash sales. Here’s where you offer certain items whose prices are already low at even lower prices. (“Get this charm bracelet at 85% off between 1:00 pm - 3:00 pm only!") The time limit will certainly generate excitement and push people to go ahead and buy your product.

2. Voucher Promos and Codes

Be ready to offer shopping vouchers that buyers can use to get bigger discounts or gifts to go with their purchases. This can be successfully distributed as e-vouchers on your social media accounts or set up as codes that customers need to use to enjoy the promo.

3. Free Giveaways

You can set it up so that shoppers who hit a certain amount get free gifts such as jewelry display sets to accompany their purchase or after-sales servicing like jewelry cleaning and repair.

Create content to promote your Black Friday offers

Once you’ve settled on the items you’re going to sell and the promos you will be offering, now’s the time to focus on promotions. Use any kind of platform, both online and offline, to announce your promos.

In terms of content channels, there’s plenty to choose from when marketing jewelry. Your best bets are image-heavy platforms like Pinterest and Instagram. You can try to post static images of teasers to entice your followers, or you can also use videos (Stories, Tik Tok) to generate buzz. You may also start posting photos of some items the customers can expect to see in your shop. This should be done weeks ahead of Black Friday and posted with regular frequency to help spread its reach, as well as to keep them top of mind amongst jewelry buyers.

Another useful platform to tap is email. If you are already using this as a marketing strategy, you may include the upcoming event in your newsletter’s regular content. 

Of course, traditional posters and signages can still help spread the word about your upcoming event

Remember to keep track of audience impressions to see if your campaign is working as it should or if you need to change or boost your promos.

We know Black Friday may come extra challenging this year, but don’t worry! Once you sit down to create a plan for the holiday then you can be ready to face any of its challenges.

5 Signs Your Jewelry Store Needs an Overhaul

Make sure your customers always see something fresh in your store.

Been hitting a slump in the sales department lately? Your jewelry store may be due for a little update soon. Keeping your customers interested will surely guarantee you a steady flow of income. That means making your store and its merchandise enticing and inspiring for them to come back time and time again, but how does one go about that?

From having spruced up jewelry display setups and stocks to revitalized storefronts and interiors, let’s look at the ways you can revamp and bring life back into your store.

Your jewelry merchandise isn’t selling well

Perhaps experimenting with new jewelry styles can give your shop the spark it needs. You can do this by reaching out to new suppliers and designers who can provide you with their jewelry handicrafts. There are many talented jewelry designers out there who are looking to expand their market and your shop may just be the one that helps them fulfill that goal.

If you are the creator of your merchandise, then why not take this as an opportunity to learn new things and designs that you can sell at your store?

Your jewelry store starts to show its age

It may also very well be that you have a nice and attractive batch of merchandise on sale, but your actual store isn’t exactly inviting to customers. Have a good look at your retail space and see what needs to be repaired or replaced. Display tables and toppers that are falling apart will certainly turn off customers no matter how gorgeous the items that are being offered at your store. New fixtures and a fresh coat of paint and wallpaper may do wonders for your store’s operations. Likewise, if you need to upgrade your display tools then you can come and check our store to see your options. Clicking the link in the ring display photo above will take you to our wide selection of jewelry display stands and platforms. From earring display tools and rotating racks, trust us when we say that we’ve got you covered.

Your store is disorganized

Is every item where they should be or are shoppers having a hard time finding things? Having a cohesive theme for your store makes it an easy place to shop and something shoppers will certainly appreciate. Along with updating your store’s facilities, you must also make sure the layout of your store and the placement of products makes sense. Going with a solid aesthetic can certainly tie the whole thing together. Go with looks that ring true to your products and the customers that buy them and you will surely win them back in this area.

Your staff is demotivated

Have you checked in with your staff lately? Sometimes it’s the people manning your store that may be causing problems. Observe them carefully and take notice of any changes. Has the atmosphere in the store been dour or boring lately? In an unhappy workplace, employees aren’t able to give their all. They may just be going through the motions day in and day out and that can zap the mood of everyone in the store, staff member or customer alike. Have a talk with your people and find out the root of their issues and try to resolve it the best way you can. Listen and hear what they have to say as you might learn something you don’t know before.

You’re being overshadowed by competition

It can also be that nearby stores may be taking attention away from you. If that’s the case, then find out what clicks with them and the shoppers. Here’s where you might find out that they have much more attractive storefronts, and in that case, you may want to concentrate on designing a window display that’s attractive. You can incorporate several design elements such as mannequins, props, backdrops, and of course, jewelry display essentials that will showcase your merchandise in the best light possible.

Open yourself to customer feedback

Whether it’s the good kind of feedback or a complaint, your business must be ready to answer these types of responses from your customers. Aside from training your staff to know your products from top to bottom so they can answer questions in-store, having an online channel where people can leave comments shows you value their opinions. Remember though the importance of a quick turn-around for queries and comments posted online so that customers (or potential customers) know you are serious about accepting their inputs.

Let them feel special with grace and courtesy

A bad remark or a snooty attitude can certainly make anyone feel unwelcome, so make it a point to treat your customers with respect. A smile and a warm sincere greeting can certainly go a long way when you’re trying to make your customers valued. You can extend this kind of service by directing them to a cozy area in your store where you can showcase them your jewelry collection while providing them with snacks and refreshments.

Provide value-added services for after-sales

You would want to remain top of mind for your past customers and you can do this by providing them additional services that complement their purchases. It can be in the form of cleaning and repair services, early access to new collections and promos, or special discounts during their birthdays.

Create multiple channels for purchasing

In today’s world, shoppers would love to be provided with opportunities to shop online or in person. Make sure to find ways that this is made possible by offering shopping in both your physical and online stores (if you have both). Providing multiple payment services can likewise help out customers and is something they are sure to appreciate greatly.

How to Pack Your Jewelry Products for Craft Shows

 Tips to keep them safe while in transit.

One of the best ways to expand your jewelry business’s reach is by joining product conventions and craft fairs. In these events, you can find opportunities to meet up with not just new customers but also possible suppliers or partners that will help your store grow. It’s a must then that you keep your jewelry merchandise in tip-top shape so that they can be seen in their best state. We’ve shown you plenty of ways before on how you should use your jewelry display tools to help make sales for your store, now, here are some packing tips for you to remember for when you take your jewelry collection on the road.

Use inserts to prevent bracelets and necklaces from tangling

Inserts work best when placed in a shallow tray to secure your merchandise. An insert has different rows with elastic bands on each end. Make sure to assign only one piece of bracelet or necklace in each row. You do it by laying your jewelry piece flat against the surface and inserting them carefully inside the elastic bands which should help them stay in place.

Drawstring bags can serve multiple purposes

During transport, drawstring bags are a safe and expensive way to store jewelry items such as bangles, hoop earrings, and even individual stones. The same drawstring bags can then be used as shopping bags for when people buy from you.

Hang your jewelry pieces securely on easels by tying them

While necklace display easels can hold in place your merchandise thanks to their side slots, they may not be enough during transport. To prevent your jewelry items from falling off you need to secure them to the board by using ribbons and ropes. You can wrap them around the easel and tying them up tightly so that the hanging items don’t fall.

Choose items with soft fabrics as a container

To avoid scratches and smudges, choose jewelry display holders that will protect your merchandise from these imperfections. While traveling, remember to store your merchandise in soft fabric-covered containers. They are mostly made out of silk or velvet which are much more forgivable to jewelry.

Ensure your bags have locks

To prevent theft, make sure you place your merchandise in a locked suitcase or bag. Traveling can be long and tiring but this is one step you shouldn’t forget. If you’re using a carrier such as a tackle box, remember to have them locked if it’s allowed.

The Best Halloween Displays to Show Off Your Jewelry Collection

Make it a spooktacular Halloween season.

Once the weather becomes cooler and the leaves begin to fall, you’d know fall is just around the corner. If you’ve been itching to bring out your sweaters and boots then now’s the time to do so.

There’s another thing to look forward to though and that is Halloween. A holiday that celebrates all-things spooky, it’s a time-tested and honored celebration that many families look forward to celebrating. For retailers, it’s another excuse to dress up their stores and give their shoppers a (trick or) treat.

If you’re still stumped for theme ideas that will best showcase your jewelry merchandise, then have a look at our suggestions below:

Hollywood

Hollywood is all about glitz and glamor and your merchandise would fit right in a Tinseltown-themed jewelry display. You can choose to focus on Hollywood’s glamour girls like Audrey Hepburn and Marilyn Monroe by displaying pearls and diamonds in their honor. You can also choose to highlight classic Hollywood movies like “Cleopatra” and “Titanic” (remember Rose’s ‘heart of the ocean’ necklace?).

The British Royal Family

Let’s take things up a notch, shall we? If you’re looking for a truly glamorous inspiration then there’s no one better than the British Royal Family. Take this chance to highlight your store’s tiaras and precious stones collection. Add in accents like Union Jack Flags, tea sets, and corgi decorations (the Queen simply loves those dogs) to tie the whole look together.

Pirate

The best way to show off your store’s stocks is by displaying them as part of a pirate’s loot. You can bring out your gold items and precious stone collections and have them displayed alongside treasure chests and decoy shipwrecks. Use your wooden stands and jewelry holders to match the scene.

“Tiger King”

Oh, yes we’re including the hit Netflix documentary about tiger enthusiast Joe Exotic. The series was on everyone’s top of mind during the first few weeks of the lockdown, so we’re pretty sure many folks will show up as him and his cast of eccentrics. There’s no reason why your store shouldn’t get in the trend so better bring out your gold chains and silver hoop earrings which were prominently worn by the cast members on the series. Don't forget to incorporate tiger stripes into your setup.

Fortune Teller

Beads, beads, and more beads. Think of those carnival fortune-tellers with their huge stacks of bracelets, necklaces, and hoop earrings so you can get an idea of what jewelry pieces to display. Don’t forget to complete your look with tarot cards and a magic ball.

We hope we were able to give you a few good ideas for your store’s Halloween jewelry display this year. Feel free to come up with more of your own, and so that you won’t forget any of these concepts, try out our Rotating Wooden Two-Sided Display Stand with Clips to put together snapshots of ideas while you’re brainstorming with your staff.

Best Practices for Photographing Earrings for Ecommerce

Make sure you’re showcasing your merchandise in the best light possible.

Just as you would give all your best in presenting your jewelry merchandise in person, selling jewelry online requires that you do all you can to show your items in their full glory. If you want the public to take notice of your store, then it’s important that you take the time to create beautiful images that can attract shoppers all over.

For this article, we will be focusing on earrings and how you can best showcase them online.

Make sure you have the necessary equipment

First and foremost, you don’t need to have a high-end camera to do your shoot. With the top-notch quality photos produced by smartphones these days, they are actually enough but feel free to bring in additional cameras if you have them. Next, have a ready light source which can be achieved naturally or using studio lights. You may also need reflectors and diffusers to control your photos’ lighting levels. Having a backdrop also helps, as well as equipment that will help keep things stable like a table for the merchandise and props, and a tripod for the camera.

Be clear about your purpose for doing the shoot

Shooting for social media is definitely different from shooting for ecommerce. Photography for online shops is meant to sell the product, so a basic, plain background is much more preferred. Shooting for social media, meanwhile, is used for marketing and virality so you can be much more creative when shooting for the platform.

Use the appropriate earring display tool

Aside from what’s mentioned, having the right jewelry display tools are an essential part of the process. Earring display stands are your best options for showcasing your merchandise. You may choose from the “T” or “L” -shape (named for resembling the shape of these letters) stands as they are meant to showcase one pair at a time. This lets you highlight specific pairs when presenting online.

You can also use display boards or trays to showcase your merchandise. Depending on the look you are going for, you can choose those made of wood, leather, velvet, or silk.

Keep things simple

Items that distract are best left off the frame as they can only cause confusion in viewers. These include teacups which we normally see being used to hang dangling earrings from in many online jewelry photographs. The thing is, it merely takes attention away from the earrings which are the ones being sold.

Adjust lighting when needed

Harsh lighting can dull your photos and cause a glare which minimizes the beauty of your merchandise. Take a few shots to test out your lighting conditions and make the necessary adjustments as you see fit. This can be done with full control in a studio. When shooting outdoors make sure to choose the most flattering light sources by choosing the right time and place to shoot.

4 of the Best Uses for Mannequin Jewelry Displays

 Add a little flair to your store’s jewelry merchandise.

Looking for a new way of showcasing your necklaces and bracelets? Give your shoppers a feast for the eyes with these mini mannequin display stands!

It always helps to have a unique take when displaying your merchandise and these ones let you do just that. If you haven’t tried out this particular kind of necklace display tool, then let this article tell you why.

They make for awesome table-toppers

The goal of retail display is to capture the eyes of shoppers and you can do that with these unique stands when you use them as jewelry holders. They bring to mind regular-sized clothes mannequins but these miniature ones come in interesting fabrics which makes them better in our opinion. 

Whether you’re going for a vintage look or a simple, girly one you will surely find a mannequin jewelry display that fits your concept.

They mimic the look of our neck and chest area which makes them the right props for showcasing necklaces

In this day and age, it always helps to exercise caution when trying out items in public. To help ease the worries of shoppers who are wary of touching merchandise because of concerns for the coronavirus, the next best thing to have are mannequin displays. Bust-type mannequins in particular are a lot similar to our neck and chest area which makes them the best holders for necklaces.

They are perfect as space-saving devices

Looking for a jewelry display tool that leaves a huge impact while taking up just a little bit of space in your shop? Look no further as mannequin jewelry displays are the right device for that. 

It’s important to maximize the space allotted for a selling area and this is the same whether it’s for a brick and mortar jewelry shop or a traveling crafts table. Mannequin stands don’t require a lot of space but their eye-catching details and multiple functionalities (can be used for necklaces, bracelets, and bib-type jewelry) make them worth a try.

They are great accents for set displays

When you’re in the mood to showcase a full jewelry collection, your best move is to build a combination jewelry display for your merchandise. This happens when different types of display tools are combined to create one cohesive unit. Often, jewelers base their designs on concepts such as holidays or a particular aesthetic.

There are many ways by which jewelers use combination displays as a showcase not just for their merchandise but also for their creative ideas. Bust-type mannequins, in particular, are often used as the centerpiece for these setups (as shown in this photo).
